Did raise to speak stop working in watchos10?

[MikeMcCollister]

I have my Apple Watch Series 9 running watchOS 11 and the raise to speak seems to be working much better.

Brand new series 10 GPS 42 mm, watchOS 11 and I get raise to speak to work maybe 1/10 of times. Haven't been using it at my old watch for a while, but I do remember that it had worked much better in the past.

Any comments from series 10 users about this?

I honestly forgot this existed until you mentioned it because it almost never worked for me.

Been using the crown press until very recently, and I wasn't getting consistent results with raise to speak until I pretended I was a mime talking into my wrist, hehe. The exaggerated gesture taught me that I simply hadn't been raising my arm high enough.

That mime comment was very helpful 😀 Thanks! But just raising arm high enough doesn't work for me. It seems that the movement has to be done very fast. That feels and looks stupid 😀 I'm sure it has worked better before, but at least now it works at this weird way. Just watch out that you won't hit yourself to the face!
