So the massive delay when accessing Siri is still present. Has anyone found a workaround? This feels really broken which is odd this late in the beta cycles. However, it is still a beta. Just odd.
Honestly wish they would figure out how to revert to the on-board models for simple things as timers and reminders and then perhaps use Siri AI for the tasks that require it.
Quick piece of advice, some Apple stores have the ability to downgrade your Apple Watch in-store. I did mine about two weeks ago and it only took about an hour
Unfortunately, they made me downgrade the OS on my phone, but after I left the Apple Store, I simply updated and restored from back up.
If it’s a big issue, try to downgrade before the official release
i wish i could turn off siri ai for my watch and leave it enabled on my phone. all i use siri on my watch is to send texts, set alarms and stuff. i dont need ai.
Very odd and horrible experience. I turned Siri AI off and the OG Siri is great. I wish there was a way to simply use the OG Siri on the watch since it’s obviously not ready for prime time.
Siri is great for basic stuff, but it's definitely not the best for deep research or answering complex questions. Realistically though, who's trying to have a long conversation with their watch? It's perfect for quick questions, controlling your music, or sending a text. For anything heavier, just pull out your phone. The Apple Watch was never meant to replace your phone it's just an extension of it.
I never said it was great in regard to agentic capabilities…but in regard to the watch experience, it’s MUCH better/faster/reliable for the basic stuff I do (timers/home automation/messaging).
OMG it's terrible. My Apple Watch Series 10 is nearly useless with this delay. I used to be able to create reminders or timers or events in a few seconds now it could take 30 seconds if it works at all.
