SIRI voice instruction to create a reminder

[Wando64]

When I want to create a reminder I often just raise my watch (to speak) and say "REMIND ME to do 'whatever task' at 'whatever time' ".
Most of the times this instruction is recognised and the reminder is created accordingly, but very frustratingly sometimes SIRI responds that the "'whatever task' does not exist".
On those occasions, the only way to create the reminder is for me to change my instruction to "SET A REMINDER to do 'whatever task' at 'whatever time'" and this is always understood.

Clearly SIRI does recognise the instruction 'REMIND ME' as most of the times it works fine, so why on earth sometimes it refuses to do it and instead it looks for an existing reminder that doesn't exist?

Any idea?

siri just sucks sometimes.
not sure there's anything you can do about it. besides speaking clearly, and verifying on screen that she's heard you properly. a reboot of your devices might help, probably won't though.

it might be fixed in the next OS release, it might not, and if they do fix it, it might even come back later.

SIRI hears me properly every time, but sometimes it decides that the instructions to remind me of something is not acceptable.

This has actually been happening for ever, but now I am getting fed up with it and wondered whether there is a reasonable motive.

Almost every time I have issues with Siri, it's when I have a bad signal on the watch, either out and about on cellular, or it's linked to my phone, but the phone is upstairs & I'm downstairs & it gets a weak connection.

Me too, but not this type of problem where one instruction is understood correctly by the watch yet it is executed differently without an apparent reason.
