Sorry, could you say that again?

Am I the only one getting this response to "Hey Siri" since Watch OS 11 came out?

I'd say I get the response more than 50% of the time I try to use Siri on my Ultra 1. I can open the home app on the watch and perform functions perfectly well.

I never had this response before OS 11. Anybody else?

The lack of responses suggests this isn't a common problem. I recall my watch saying that a couple of times when I was in a noisy environment, but probably less than 1% of requests.

I get that all the time when trying to set a reminder, I just hit the crown button on my watch to close it, and Siri does set the reminder. I only get that on my watch.

Siri … Siri … Siri … HEEEEEEY, SIRI!!

Tends to work.

On a serious note, disable and re-enable it, then go through the setup process again.

I'm back with a solution, in case anyone has the same problem. I found that changing the iPhone setting for cellular data improved things dramatically on my Apple Watch Ultra 1.

On iPhone:
Settings--> Cellular --> Cellular Data Options --> Data Mode --> Standard

I had changed this to "Allow More Data on 5G" because 5G is faster than my home wifi. Since the AWU1 needs to work in tandem with the iPhone, this may have been impeding connectivity between the devices.

I have had no issues since this change.
