Hello Simon, What I am doing is this:
My Apple Watch is connected either to my iPhone or via wi-fi. Connectivity is verified by checking for e-mail streaming audio among other things. Whether in range of my iPhone or not I simply say “Hey Siri” followed by my request, such as what is the time. On my iPhone I get a response to my query. On my Apple Watch I obtain no response. If I press and hold the Digital Crown on my Apple Watch Siri responds as you would expect. Even if I turn off my iPhone pressing the Digital Crown on my Apple Watch Siri responds to my speech whereas saying “Hey Siri” results in no response. Having checked all settings I cannot see what I am doing wrong. After all saying “Hey Siri” is not difficult to me and if my iPhone responds then it is perfectly reasonable, given that it supports it, my Apple Watch should respond too.
