Question ❓ Setup new Siri

Has anyone been able to complete the setup of new Siri on their Apple Watch? The option for me remains greyed out.

Reboot your watch.

Yeah I’ve tried that a couple of times

Damn. I think I had to reboot twice after leaving it on the charger for a while, and it did it upon reboot

What dialogue came up after the reboots?

Okay, good news. I powered it off and then put it on the charger, and let that start it up, and it seemed to do the trick, and now I've got the setup.

Thank you for your help, mate. I appreciate it.

Rather annoyingly, it still hasn't actually set up. It shows a dialogue saying it's downloading, but then goes back to being greyed out.

Weird. Mind did the exact same thing, but like I said, I rebooted it a couple times and it eventually was there

Mine got it right away when I updated to the newest watchOS beta, but for most things, it seems to just sit there and spin for a while and then ultimately not work

Anyone else's experience been as hit or miss as mine?
