[doublepost=1509844640][/doublepost]ive noticed some my mac acts weird when i ask it about daylight savings time. my siri is set to a male british voice and if i ask "when does daylight savings time end in the US" it will it won't under stand and stops following me after the first word "when" then just gives back weird answers. every question around this topic makes it act glitchy.
There's a strange bug with the Apple Watch today that's causing resprings whenever Siri is questioned about the weather. Asking Siri something like "What's the temperature?" or "What's the weather?" or "Is it raining?" causes the Apple Watch to crash.
The issue has been documented in several threads on the MacRumors forums and on reddit, and we've also been able to replicate it on our own devices.
Complaints about the problem appear to have started this morning, and the bug is confirmed to be affecting both LTE and GPS Apple Watch Series 3 models as well as older Apple Watch models running watchOS 4.1. Not all Apple Watch owners in all countries are affected, but it appears to be impacting users in the United States, Canada, and Europe.
It's not yet clear what's causing the issue, but the weather app itself is working fine, and restarting and resetting the watch don't appear to fix the problem. From MacRumors forum member SRLMJ23:Curiously, asking Siri about the weather tomorrow or next week doesn't cause a problem -- it's only questions about the current weather conditions that are resulting in errors. It's possible that this is an issue related to the upcoming time change, as one reddit user has discovered. Daylight Saving Time is set to end on Sunday, November 5 in many regions in the United States and Canada.Apple will likely have this fixed shortly (or it'll clear up after Sunday), but for now, it's best to avoid using the watch to ask questions about the weather in order to prevent sudden resprings.

I added "today" and it crashed anyway.
[doublepost=1509845573][/doublepost]I read this article and I just had to try it. It sucks to be a curious cat.
Tested on my 42mm Series 1 Sport, running 4.0, but my iPhone 6s Plus is running 11.2 dev beta. It crashed 3/3 times. I think it may be related to the connected iPhone, not the watchOS version. Confirmation from someone with the same setup minus 11.2?
Snow? I wish. 79F/26C today. There's a 50/50 chance I'll be in shorts on XMas.Just tried it and my watch is restarting right now..It's snowing today , maybe it's a little too early for the watch too

How many people crashed their watch after reading this?
I reported it to Apple well over a week ago. It was affecting European weather only in the beginning.
Whoa! Serious bug! I just asked Siri how's the weather on my S3 Nike+ LTE. It crashed.

I tried it again on mine with the word "today" at the end and it still crashed.
