For me Raise to speak work just 1 of 3 try...
I don’t know why... ?
Does it work only when on watchface or should also work on any other application screen ?

On your watch go to settings+general+Siri
Do you see "raise to speak" setting ?
If yes put it ON !
If no... it’s confirm that your watch don’t have this functionality...
[doublepost=1530726046][/doublepost]Raise to speak need a lot of work to be very useful...
But for now it’s almost unusable...
See you in beta-4 !
Good News !
I found out on a site that you got to put the watch pretty close to your mouth for raise to speak to work !
And I can confirm that it help a lot !!!
It’s not perfect but it work for me with fewer fail !
Raise your watch like it was a microphone, about one inch from your mouth.
And speak as soon as the Watch is at the position cause if you wait too long it won’t work...
Still raise to speak need some fixes...
Like when listening to music. I say set the volume to 70% Siri said that it’s done but it’s not...
But forward/backward and Play command does work !
Some of my shortcuts also work but not all of them...

Definitely possible. Apple was able to fix the bug of Hey Siri speaking back to you while it should be silent on watch series 3 - without an update, too. Creepy, right?
I think I will wear my watch upside down cause if I raise to speak more on the side of the crown I got more fail then on the side of the mike...
It’s done my crown is now to the left and it’s more comfortable that way. Don’t need to raise my arm as far and can speak softly !
[doublepost=1531239090][/doublepost]I got Google Home and before raise to speak I almost never use Siri.
But now I use Siri to contrôle my lights, all my smart plug device and music.
But Google Home is more performant on all other general request about the outside world !

This page says Series 1 or later support it (but this isn’t an official Apple page). https://www.idropnews.com/news/apple-watch/raise-speak-siri-rolls-watchos-5-testers/75720/
