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? -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
