Hey all, I've been trying to scour sites for this info and can't seem to find anything about it.

Can you create Reminders offline using Siri?

This would be a huge feature for me. Just curious if any new watch owners can confirm this, thanks!

With the S9/Ultra 2, yes. S8/U1 and earlier, no.

* I have an S8, and just going by what I heard in the Apple release. I'm sure someone will chime in with a real world confirmation.
 
Siri on iPhone can create reminders without connection, but yeah we will have to wait and see if the S9/Ultra can do it. Guess would be yes.
 
Thanks for the responses - I seriously hope that is the case. I live and die by Reminders, and I go out for a walk every morning without my phone, but its those moments when I need to make a note to do something, and I tell myself I need to remember that, then 3 seconds later its gone! I run two companies and am a project manager, so Reminders are critical to me and I'd love that feature.
 
Yes, I can confirm that Siri will create reminders without any cellular or WiFi connection active. I have the Ultra 2.

I wasn’t going to upgrade this year but I’m an avid runner who leaves his phone at home. When I heard “onboard Siri” I knew I needed the latest watch. I use Siri for everything when running.

Came here to ask this exact question. I have the Series 7, and whenever I ask it to add something to my grocery list it takes 5 seconds or more. Half the time it fails entirely. Hoping onboard Siri will fix this.

If you're connected to WiFi but give Siri a command that could be done onboard, will it still do it offline/quickly?

I liked Siri before but now I love it. I almost whispered a request today and Siri heard it and responded instantly. If I say it too loud my iPad or computer grabs it too. But with this S9 and the new Siri it's incredible, using it for more and more.

A cellular connection would have been a lot cheaper!
