I don't have a watch but I wonder if the frequency range of the voices
matter? I know it takes more power/bigger speakers to reproduce bass
notes so it could be that a male Daniel voice pushes the limits more
that a higher pitched Samantha.

Yes, Samantha is less noticeable. The other sounds on the Watch sound great
with no distortion. It almost sounds like the other voices are at the lower
quality but I have nothing to say this is true. They just don’t sound good on
my particular Watch and Samantha sounds OK.
I agree that they did a nice job with the small audio on the Watch.

Hi Jenine and Graham,
Just by way of a counterpoint, I barely notice the distortion. I'm using
Samantha, so it may just be that it's less pronounced, but honestly, if Jenine
hadn't written her message, I wouldn't have even thought about it. I'm betting
that the distortion has more to do with the tiny speaker than with a problem
with the voice. I actually think Apple's done a good job of pumping the sound
out, and some distortion, IMO is inevitable under the circumstances. The other
thing I'd mention is that you're listening to the voice for much shorter bits
of language than you would on a Mac or an iPhone, so something that might
really grate on your nerves if you're say reading a book, is less offensive if
you are just checking the time or something like that, at least for me.
Just my $.02.
Cheers,
Donna

Graham, Donna is corrrect. The one thing to keep in mind that I’ve found is
that all of the voices tend to distort at the highest volume, even Samantha.
The Karen and especially Daniel voices distort at around 75% volume versus the
95% at which Samantha starts to distort.
The voices need work. Don’t blame you for hating the Daniel voice. Give me
Oliver from the Mac.

Hi,
Does anyone know if it is possible to change the voice on the apple watch? In
the uk we get that horrible daniel voice which i dispise. If it could be
changed to the karen voice i'd likely invest.
Kind regards
Graham
