Here are 10 ways I’ve personally used Siri on my Apple Watch Series 10 to make my life easier.

1. Translating Languages

Whenever I’m traveling or trying to pick up a few phrases in a new language, Siri comes in clutch. I just say, “Translate ‘Where is the nearest coffee shop?’ into French,” and Siri gives me both the spoken and written translation. It’s super useful when I’m abroad or helping my friends with their language learning.

2. Finding My Parked Car

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve lost track of where I parked my car. Luckily, Siri remembers for me. Since my phone connects to my car via Bluetooth, Siri marks my parking location automatically. When I’m ready to head back, I just ask, “Where’s my car?” and Siri guides me right to it.

3. Building My Shopping Lists

Whenever I think of something I need, I just tell Siri. “Add coffee to my shopping list” is all it takes. Siri adds it to my Notes app or Reminders, depending on what I’ve set up. It’s such a lifesaver, especially when I’m cooking and suddenly remember I’m out of an ingredient.

4. Controlling My Smart Home

My favorite thing about Siri is how easily it controls my smart home gadgets. I just say, “Turn off the living room lights” or “Set the thermostat to 70 degrees,” and it’s done. I’ve even set up routines—like saying “Good night” to turn off the lights, lock the doors, and adjust the temperature.

5. Doing Quick Math

Whether it’s splitting a restaurant bill or figuring out how much I can save during a sale, Siri handles math for me. I just ask, “What’s 20% of $86?” and Siri calculates it instantly. It’s great for those times when my brain just doesn’t want to do the math.

6. Keeping Track of My Workout Progress

Siri is my workout buddy when I’m running or cycling. I just ask, “How far have I run?” or “What’s my heart rate?” and Siri gives me real-time updates from the Workout app on my Apple Watch. It’s so much easier than fumbling with my phone mid-run.

Sometimes, I even pause or resume my workout with Siri, which is super convenient when I need a quick water break.

7. Setting Location-Based Reminders

I’m forgetful, so Siri’s location-based reminders are a game-changer for me. I tell Siri things like, “Remind me to grab my dry cleaning when I leave work,” and Siri sends me a notification at just the right time. I also use it for setting simple reminders like “remember to buy milk and bread at 5 PM”.

8. Playing Music Hands-Free

Whether I’m cooking, driving, or working out, Siri handles my music requests. I’ll say, “Play my workout playlist” or “Play something relaxing,” and Siri queues up the perfect tracks. It’s great not having to touch my phone when my hands are full.

9. Checking My Daily Schedule

Each morning, I ask Siri, “What’s on my calendar today?” and get a quick rundown of my schedule. It helps me plan my day without having to open the Calendar app. I even ask Siri to add events when something comes up last minute.

10. Finding Answers Quickly

Siri is my go-to for quick questions. Whether I need to know, “What’s the capital of Brazil?” or “What’s the weather like this weekend?” Siri gives me answers right away. For more complex stuff, Siri pulls up web results, which saves me time searching.

Why I Love Using Siri

Siri has made my life so much more convenient. From staying on top of my workout progress to managing my daily tasks, it’s like having a personal assistant in my pocket. If you haven’t explored all that Siri can do, give some of these features a try—you might be surprised how much easier your day becomes!
