I'm actually in the process of downloading watchOS 5 Dev beta 1 right now and will install it on my watch when I go to bed. Hopefully, the install with go smoothly and the new OS performs well once it's installed.

Same here. Currently installing on my Watch.

I have it downloaded and it will install later on.

Hey Siri and Raise to Speak is not working for me with this beta

I kinda wished there was more stuff introduced for WatchOS 5.

It seems like the Solar watch face was tweaked. There’s more gradients during sunrise and sunset.

Anyone wants to challenge each other with activity challenge?

Siri works for me, however, I haven’t used the “raise to speak” feature.

But does Hey Siri work when the Watch screen is on?

Edit: never mind, apparently restarting the Watch had fixed it. I just noticed it works.

Okay. Thanks for the update. After reading your post, I said, “hey Siri” while looking at my Apple Watch. My HomePod answered...(laughing).

Yeah, this is a thing right now....

I went into walkie talkie but got the coming soon message

Apple has solved that with the iPhone and the Watch. It somehow detects whichever is closer to you and automatically shuts off Siri on the device that’s further away from you for that specific instance and let’s the nearest device handle the request.

I would think it was also implemented for the HomePod but I may be wrong.

My watch running watchOS 5 dev beta 1 was on my left wrist, my MacBook Pro was right in front of me and turned on, and my HomePod was probably 12 feet away. It answered when I said “hey Siri”. I just did it less than 30 seconds ago and the HomePod took over again....

Apparently I can't get OS 5 I'm on the original Apple Watch.

I’m sorry to hear that.

If there is one more thing I want from Siri, it’s the ability to say “hey Siri on my iPhone” or “hey Siri on my watch”. When I’m in the car especially and I want to navigate somewhere - well, I usually stop to do this, but I’d rather be able to say “hey Siri on my iPhone, navigate to 123 main st etc.” than have Siri on my watch try do to this, because it’s closer.
