User level: Level 1 (8 points)Timer on Watch and Siri AI
I never had a problem with Siri setting a timer for me on my Watch until I upgraded to Siri AI. Restarting my Watch did not help so I switched back to Classic Siri. Is there an alternate solution?

Try force restarting your Apple Watch.
Press and hold both the Digital Crown and side buttons together for about 15 seconds until the Apple logo appears.

Are you using a reasonable command?
I just said “Set a timer for ten seconds.” to my Apple Watch 11, watchOS 27.2, that uses Siri AI. It worked perfectly.

I use the same command that has worked fine before. Now Siri says that it can't be set because the Clock app is not installed. When I challenge that, she says that there are technical issues.
