Siri activation using watch crown.

Why does Siri disappear after activation using watch crown? I raise my wrist, press the crown, the orb appears, and I will command it to "start a one minute timer", but the microphone icon turns on with the orb, and the orb disappears after I say the word start. Also, I've tried every trouble shooting measure including holding the crown down until I complete my command. Still, Siri disappears. Finally, this has been reported to apple feedback, but I think that is a black hole. Watch 12, v. 27.0.1. Anyone?

Unless you tell us all the things you tried, we can only guess which troubleshooting steps you may have missed.


Have you tried unpairing and re-pairing the watch?
