Has anyone worked out how to do this? Seems enabled in settings but not working for me? Using 'Hey Siri' works fine but not without.
 
If you raise the watch up near your mouth from your side or while sitting and speak to the watch it works. The screen turns on and then Siri shows up.
 
same here, raise to speak is on, nothing happens, even tried turning off 'hey siri' but still the same.
 
What if you are speaking to someone in person and you ask them a question. Right before you ask, you raise your watch to see what time it is. Does Siri take it as if you have asked her?
 
On the watch it’s in Settings > General > Siri

But it’s still not functional for me on Beta 2 on LTE Series 3 either.

In wOS 4 you MUST say Hey Siri. In wOS 5 you don't have to say Hey Siri. You just start talking.

wOS 4: Hey Siri what is the weather like?
wOS 5 What is the weather like?

It suddenly started working for me in beta 2 also. First when I tested I couldnt get it to work, but yesterday I triggered it by accident and since then it kept on working flawlessly. Very handy feature!
