To begin, it&#8217;s essential that we have activated the &#8220;Raise to Speak&#8221; option in the Siri section within the <em>Settings <\/em>app on our watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed-Youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Introducing Apple Watch Series 9 | Apple\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Nvb_Kta7v6U?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once activated, simply raise your wrist towards your face and speak to Siri, without needing to press any buttons. You can say something like &#8220;<strong>Let&#8217;s run outdoors for 45 minutes<\/strong>.&#8221; Siri will confirm your request and start a three-second countdown before beginning the workout. This way, you can start your physical activity without the need to manually interact with your watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to receive alerts and updates on progress without looking at the screen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond starting a workout, the easiest part, let&#8217;s talk about receiving audible updates about our progress. This function is extremely useful as it<strong> allows us to stay informed about our performance<\/strong> without constantly having to look at the watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To activate voice feedback, we open the <em>Settings <\/em>app on our Apple Watch, scroll down to the <em>Workout <\/em>section, and <strong>enable the <em>Voice Feedback<\/em> option<\/strong>. We can listen to these updates through connected AirPods or through the watch&#8217;s speakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What will we hear? Our Apple Watch will inform us about various aspects of the workout, such as distance covered, elapsed time, and notify us when we reach certain milestones, such as closing our activity rings.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"iOS 17\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-m\/p\/aa0ea39a-3047-47be-9b3a-938ac771524a\/234379927\/ios-17-download-ios-17.jpg\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">iOS 17<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/ios-17.en.softonic.com\/iphone\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/ios-17.en.softonic.com\/iphone\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Between Siri and the workout updates provided by the Apple Watch, there&#8217;s no need to stop and look at the watch or interact with the screen to follow a session.
