Basically I heard about this story: https://www.mercurynews.com/2018/05/14/ohio-police-share-findings-of-probe-after-teen-dies-in-van/

And randomly thought that if I’m ever in a physically compromised situation and I wanna call emergency, it kinda won’t work because when I just say “Hey Siri” with my wrist down, Siri doesn’t get invoked.

Is there a workaround as of right now? On series 9 btw.

I guess another very similar question is can I always just have my apple watch in “normal” wrist up mode? Like I don’t want it to ever be in wrist down “nerfed” mode like when the watchfaces go into the dimmer version for example.

    On my Watch 6 with WatchOS 17.1 there are Siri settings in the WatchApp on my iPhone.

    I have activated "listen for “Hey Siri”. But “raise hands to talk” is turned off. “Press digital crown” is also turned off. - Siri responds to “Hey Siri” without pressing digital crown or raising a hand to talk.

    I can also have my watch/iPhone call emergency simply by holding the button below the crown for a few seconds.
