The crown gets accidentally pressed too often especially if you have a glove on, these are the simple things Apple misses.

"Hey Siri" is triggered accidentally too often also which is why it's turned off. Also, no way to put Siri on the watch face. C'mon Apple we want choices.
 
Why not just use raise to speak? It's not necessary to push a button to summon it. Just turn the crown function off if you keep triggering it and use "raise to speak." Hell, you don't even have to say "Hey Siri." All you have to do is give the command you want and it works.

Because this is too sensitive also and picks up things when I was talking to Siri. It can't be that hard to give us the option to use the recessed button.
 
I find the button to activate Siri on my Apple Watch is the least of my worries. Siri has been absolutely dreadful the last couple of months and not sure if Apple have screwed it up with an update or something? Whenever I activate Siri and start speaking, the first attempt is always a ‘sorry’ message. I’ve also noticed timers I have set while cooking end silently a lot, to the point I now use my iPhone and Amazon Echo instead. Siri for reminders and timers is the main reason I have the watch and if this continues to be this bad, I may reconsider whether I invest in a third Apple Watch to be honest.

You can put Google Assistant on the Apple W

It is sad as Siri could be so much more if Apple wanted it to be. Apple need to put some more money into Siri so it can do more and do it correctly.
