No. You only get the voice from switching the languages, so if you switch it
to British English, you get Daniel or Tom, whoever it is, Australian is
Karen, etc.

I don't have an Apple Watch, nor have actually seen one in person, so
forgive me, but can you use Alex on the watch, like you can on I O S?

So how does one change the voice as when I set up my watch up, I had to have
the horrible Daniel.
Thanks.

I don't have a watch but I wonder if the frequency range of the voices
matter? I know it takes more power/bigger speakers to reproduce bass notes
so it could be that a male Daniel voice pushes the limits more that a higher
pitched Samantha.

Yes, Samantha is less noticeable. The other sounds on the Watch sound
great with no distortion. It almost sounds like the other voices are at
the lower quality but I have nothing to say this is true. They just don’t
sound good on my particular Watch and Samantha sounds OK.
I agree that they did a nice job with the small audio on the Watch.

Hi Jenine and Graham,
Just by way of a counterpoint, I barely notice the distortion. I'm using
Samantha, so it may just be that it's less pronounced, but honestly, if
Jenine hadn't written her message, I wouldn't have even thought about it.
I'm betting that the distortion has more to do with the tiny speaker than
with a problem with the voice. I actually think Apple's done a good job
of pumping the sound out, and some distortion, IMO is inevitable under
the circumstances. The other thing I'd mention is that you're listening
to the voice for much shorter bits of language than you would on a Mac or
an iPhone, so something that might really grate on your nerves if you're
say reading a book, is less offensive if you are just checking the time
or something like that, at least for me.
Just my $.02.
Cheers,
Donna

Graham, Donna is corrrect. The one thing to keep in mind that I’ve found
is that all of the voices tend to distort at the highest volume, even
Samantha. The Karen and especially Daniel voices distort at around 75%
volume versus the 95% at which Samantha starts to distort.
The voices need work. Don’t blame you for hating the Daniel voice. Give
me Oliver from the Mac.

Hi,
Does anyone know if it is possible to change the voice on the apple
watch? In the uk we get that horrible daniel voice which i dispise. If
it could be changed to the karen voice i'd likely invest.
Kind regards
Graham
