Not sure if there is a setting which fixes this and I also haven’t tried to see 
if this happens with a running workout as well, but here is something I find 
endlessly annoying when my wife and I go for a walk.

We both have the Apple Watch Ultra 2.

So we leave the house and both start the “Outdoor Walk, open goal” in the 
driveway.

I have Voiceover on, but my wife is sighted so she obviously does not need it.

As we walk along and reach the 1 Km mark, Siri announces “1 Km” on my wife’s 
Apple Watch and I think the time might be mentioned, my watch is silent. This 
repeates for her each additional Kilometer.

I have checked it by turning Voiceover off on my watch after I start the 
workout and then I also get the announcement.

Once again, I find it incredibly annoying why Apple thinks that a blind person 
using Voiceover would not want to have this announcement. I don’t care if Siri 
announces it or if in our case Voiceover would announce it, but to simply not 
have it say anything is just silly. Can others reproduce this?
