watchOS 27 Beta Thread

Given how slow Siri processing seems to be with the current watchOS beta, has on-device Siri been eliminated?

Siri commands like setting timers and adding items to my shopping list used to be nearly immediate on my AWU 3, but now it seems like Siri is processing every request either through my phone or possibly a server via Wifi.

Private cloud compute, that is.

Installed the developer beta last night on my Ultra 2 and it's FLYING! I don't know what they did, but it's so much faster, it's crazy. No problems with Siri so far but it's still using the old UI when I hold the crown despite the icon being updated.

Did a run just now, and the temperature, humidity and air quality is there.
Think it’s looking really great 👍

I'm finding this new Siri AI unusable with the current beta (Public 2). Even my Garmin sets timers faster than my AWU 3 at this point. But I'll give the watch another chance after the next beta. For now, it's back in the nightstand drawer.

Having it to still depend on the paired iPhone is crazy. Still inconvenient and inconsistent.

My observation is it does improve with use: I don't know if there's a training component? It is still slower for me than on watchOS 26, but commands do work every time now. You may want to rethink your nightstand drawer…

Beta 4 did not fix and my watch is still a “slug”. It can’t even find my grocery list!

That’s a weird one which I have as well. It says it can’t find it, asks if I want to create one, then when I say no it puts the items in my Reminders list instead.

Not sure if this is iOS or watchOS or something else. However since I updated to the Public Betas Wednesday I have done 2 runs (Thursday&Saturday) and both are missing the Maps of my run (like an Indoor workout). All other data is present except rendering the Maps. I ran Monday before the Betas and that run and all before have Maps.

Similar here. I ran to the gym, worked out, ran home. The first run didn’t record the map, although registered the distance, but the second one did it all.
