I'm enjoying these how to articles! I'm looking forward to the one about how to control music using Siri on the watch. Might have kept the dude in Montreal from getting a ticket! Thanks

Same here, taking in how-to information bits at a time (as opposed to reading the online Apple Watch manual from start to end) is quite helpful. I'm glad iMore is doing them. Now, if I can only make myself remember these commands! Especially "Hey Siri, send". ;)

They also tackle multi language watch dictation assume you use the language based on what was your keyboard set to when you last texted a given person. Great - needs to come to iphone (because of in-car use). Also keyboard is not always perfect marker as especiall with informality of text messages you sometimes dont bother to change keyboard. Then you end up with a nonsense siri text.... Wish Appme put an option to define conversation language for each contact that would override keyboard as marker. I am not saying i would fill in for all contactsbut just mught for 20 VIPs or so...
