I’ve never had that issue with my Apple Watch. Granted, apple are a world-class developer (arguably), so their stuff might be more reliable, but I use raise-to-speak and hey siri with my watch all the time.

Raise to speak is the most unreliable feature for me, I’ve tried it several times and it’s like 30% success rate

This is probably also part of the reason that the AW battery lasts so much less time. It's always on the lookout for these events, and over time that ends up having a non-trivial impact on battery. For Pebble users, that would significantly compromise one of the main selling points of the Pebble.

But you have to instruct Siri to record/transcribe/save what you want to say; this does it automatically. It removes friction if you just want to record short notes.

I use it all the time too, but recording a voice memo doesn’t seem possible without touch (you need to tap to actually record)?

Siri sends your contacts list to Apple with every request. That makes it a nonstarter for me.
