Same for me.been using AW since 2015 and not used Siri once, works just fine
I have mine switched off and it doesn’t affected the way I use the watch nor it’s functionality - and if it does, you can easily turn it back on for short durations.Hello,
Just looking for some very general advice on Apple Watch 7 as I have been thinking about getting one for a while.
I have however tried to stay away from using Siri as I am an oldtimer and feel stupid speaking into a device
So I assume an Apple Watch without using Siri is generally speaking not a very bright idea?
Or is it possible to own an use an Apple Watch 7 constructively and practically with Siri switched off?
Any comments appreciated.
Only time I use Siri through my watch is to ask it to turn lights on or off, or occasionally I'll ask it to set a timer. Otherwise not at all.Hello,

This is me, on both levels...!I'd never say "Hey Siri" outside of the house where people could see me - I'd be so embarrassed. It's a real failure not allowing different trigger words. English people just don't say "hey!" in that context.
For me, more annoying than having to say "hey siri" for handsfree operation is for some reason Siri appends "Hey" in front of my dictations in iMessage via CarplayI'd never say "Hey Siri" outside of the house where people could see me - I'd be so embarrassed.

I typically don't use Siri and never even used Siri on my phone either. I have it turned off.
That's bizarre. I wonder what causes that. When I send texts via CarPlay I've never heard that.For me, more annoying than having to say "hey siri" for handsfree operation is for some reason Siri appends "Hey" in front of my dictations in iMessage via Carplay
Me: "Send dad a text"
Siri: What would you like to say?
Me: "What time do you want me to pick you up?"
Siri: Your message says "Hey, what time do you want me to pick you up?" Ready to send?
Every.Single.Time.
I don't like to use siri, so it's turned off on all my devices, including my 2 watches.Hello,

I just tried it in messages using the microphone to dictate....same result..That's bizarre. I wonder what causes that. When I send texts via CarPlay I've never heard that.
I've never talked to the watch, but, in case I do, it's named "iTracy" for just that reason.Same for me.
I do talk to my watch occasionally when I use it to answer a call, though. Feels a bit Dick Tracy-ish, if your memory goes back that far.
I didn't get a watch until the series 3 because it felt like almost everything the watch could do my iPhone could already do. My iPhone usage plummeted when I got my watch because it's just so much more quick/convenient to do many things with my watch (some of which are just glancing at it). Apple Pay via the watch is wonderful also.Figuring out the overlap between it and the iPhone is the thing I guess and what to use for what...working on it..
