Hello,

I have just set a reminder though Siri but I have noticed that there is no way to cancel it. The only possibility is to confirm it through the crown.

Is that normal or have I missed something?

Please advise.

Thanks,
daniele
 
Pull up the timer and there is a cancel button. Also you can use Siri to cancel a timer as well.
Reminders not Timers.

Don't see a way to cancel and Siri doesn't delete Reminders on the Watch (at least not for me). The only way I see is to open the Reminders app and check it (or use your iPhone). Maybe someone knows a way.
 
Exactly, when I set a reminder with Siri, it shows a box with the dictated text in but there is no way to confirm or to delete it
 
My test:

"Hey Siri, set a reminder to do laundry at four o'clock."

Siri sets a reminder.

"Hey Siri, cancel my reminder about laundry at four o'clock."

Siri: I can delete reminders on your iPhone. (button saying Continue On iPhone)

There ya go. I think it's another instance of Apple's Human Interface Guidelines, where they say to, generally, make the user take an extra step before deleting something, hopefully preventing accidentally deleting data.
