Siri raise to speak not working

I have it set on the watch. Raising my wrist and all I get is the watch face.

I thought I was having the same problem, then I discovered I have to raise the watch really vertical (as with the screen "L perpendicular" to the floor) and speak with a medium-to-high volume voice.

Actually it worked badly since the feature was introduced, then my playing a bit (screen vertical to the floor and speaking loud very close to the watch's mike) it did the trick.

But....since last update to 5.1.1 this morning ... it understands and write on the screen what I say but after 2 seconds...2 vibrations and retuns to the watchface......I'm with iPhone 7 and Watch 3 with WatchOS 5.1.1

Me too ciscApple... I have the watchOS version 5.1.1 and I still have the same issue... When I raise up the watch and speak, Siri write it in the watch but after nothing happens... I'm spanish, so I think I have the same problem.

This is awful. Anybody from support or close to they that can bring us some light on this topic?

Raise-To-Speak is very unreliable for me too. I think since updating to 5.1.1. Often it doesn’t work at all (even though it works if I say ”hey Siri“). Most of the time if it does work, it dictates what I’m saying but then the words fade away immediately before it can complete the command. I’ve been having so many problems with apple products lately, so much buggier than they used to be.
