The record

u/aniseedvan posted a photo of Siri saying it cannot set a timer because the necessary app is not installed on the Apple Watch. In replies, the author identifies a launch-day Apple Watch Ultra 4 and says timers worked until that morning, although Siri AI had been slower than classic Siri. Other commenters describe similar problems, while several say timers work on their watches. Suggested fixes in the thread are individual experiences, not a verified remedy for this report. The exact watchOS build is not specified.
