Does anyone know if the new S9 or Ultra 2 watches add the capability to ask for workout updates via Siri? For example if I'm currently doing a Walking or Running workout, can I ask Siri (via my paired AirPods, etc.) how far I've walked, what my pace is, etc? This is one of the biggest things on my wishlist. I know it seems small/trivial, but it would be so much easier than having to slow down or stop. And sometimes my watch is covered up by multiple layers of clothing.

I haven't been able to find it mentioned anywhere in the brief hands-on videos I've watched. Wasn't sure if the local Siri on-device processing would enable something like this.
