Apple Watch 4 and reminders

[ricb]

Finally gave in and bought the 44mm Alu Series 4. I have owned many iPhone models starting with the 3G and now have the X, but this was my first time to buy a watch. One frustrating thing - I can't get Siri to create reminders. She just says "sorry, I can't save the reminder", or some such. It works as expected using the phone, and I can see the reminder later on the watch. I just can't create a reminder using the watch. I did some googling and learned it might have something to do with MDM-managed phones (and mine is, via a BYOD program with my job...) Anyone else, and if so: did you find a fix?

Same problem for me. iPhone is BYOD and has Blackberry UEM on it. Series 4 is my first watch that I got for Christmas and is great, but not being able to make a reminder from my watch is frustrating. I found that if I turn off Reminders in the iCloud settings on my iPhone it then works via the watch. But if I turn it on again, it does not. I share lists with my wife, so turning off iCloud reminders is not a viable option for me. I just need to make the reminders from my phone rather than watch. Annoying, but I guess I will need to live with it.
