Yes. Even when swimming. I only take it off to charge it. Usually during showers

Yes. Been using it since before I got an iPhone in 2016. I have always preferred swipe texting and would download apps to use it when I had Android. I don’t use it exclusively but I use it a ton. Like, just typing this, I’ve used swipe and regular.

I always have. Been using Apple Watches since series 3 and never had a water problem. I’ve always swam with them too. In pools and in the ocean.

Do you clean your lens? I make it a habit to clean mine before I take any pictures. If you happen to be using a camera cover, take it off. They’re awful. I have a 13 Pro and it’s not like this

Siri is awful. Or if you ask her a question “you need to unlock your iPhone first”. She needs to get on the same level as Alexa! Alexa isn’t great, but she’s a heck of a lot better than Siri.

Did you turn you watch off and back on? Sometimes that fixes it. I haven’t had a battery problem after an update in years (but to be fair, I didn’t even attempt to do the previous update after seeing the battery issues everyone had). No issues on my end with this update
