But doesn't it have to be tethered to an iphone for Siri to be active? Much like a Bluetooth earpiece?

So the smarts are in the phone.

Lol. Me too. But in a pinch, it could figure the tip or calculate your mileage. :)

No, read the article. Siri will work with a WIFI connection without the presence of an iPhone. Siri's smarts are actually on the iCloud. The Watch has a lot of smarts built into it, but limited and limited storage.

Didn’t bother reading the lead article did you? Whole point is most of the smart are in the phone, but there’s still a lot you can do without that nearby.
