Is Siri supposed to have a voice on Watch? Mine does not. Wondering if this is intentional or if I have a problem Watch. No other real problems outside of that (except that the screen turns off during longer voice messages, rendering them absolutely unlistenable in full).

No. She does not speak on the watch.
 
seems that way. I wouldnt mind the option of voice on/off.

If I'm going to speak to Siri, I dont mind hearing the results.
 
hahah thanks for the responses everybody! Glad to know I'm not the only one. Initially I didn't think anything of it because, to me, it makes sense that the Watch shouldn't be making all sorts of noises (I turned the volume for the notifications all the way off, the vibrating is enough for me).

But then I saw a post on reddit where somebody asked and the answer was "your watch is defective you need a new one from the genius bar" and my heart sank. Glad to know this isn't a real thing!
 
Yeah there's a real lack of sound on the Apple Watch.

I don't mind it at all. I think it would be very obnoxious if Watch kept beeping or making noises all day long while I was in class or in a meeting. The taptic engine/feedback is, I think, enough to alert me when something is happening. Not sure if each different type of notification is a different type of touch but I'm sure that, if it is, I will get to know it very wuickly
