Hi all,

Lately I've been having this issue where the siri voice won't download to my apple watch series 4 so I can use it with VO. Every time I check, it says: "Waiting to download. Download will occur when your watch is charging." Only I've kept the watch on charge for a while and...nothing's happened. Funnily enough, Siri on the watch still uses the same voice, so I don't know what the issue is here. Is there a method to allow the download of VO's version of the siri voice to occur so that I can use it? Currently running the latest version of watch OS.

This work well for me. However I am noticing that if you select the face with your initials it does not read it. Also I am having issues with ECG. I did not setup it because at the time I did not had my band in my watch. Now that I want to do it can not find it. I look in watch in heart nothing. Using Siri 5 and current OS.

It came out yesterday and fixed this issue for me.

I don't think it will work for me. I have a series 3 watch and do not see the siri voice. Funny thing is, I don't remember seeing restrictions in regard to said siri voice.

Hi all. I've never managed to get the Siri voice for use with VO since i got my watch back in July and certainly after ticking the button in OS 6.0 and now 6.1 that says siri voice, nothing changes. I'm having to use Karen on English Australia because I can't stand Daniel. I really like the Siri female and think she is way more clear. I also have Mickey and Minnie as additional watch faces so I can get to other complications I don't need all the time much quicker and certainly last night when I changed face, minnie wouldn't speak to me. Also having a problem with wake on wrist raise. Though it is showing as being on in both the watch app and on my watch, it just doesn't work. Any clues anyone?
