This feature was first announced during the Apple Watch Series 9 and Apple Watch Ultra 2 announcement and will make its way with watchOS 10.2 once it is available later this year.

This change not only makes requests faster but more private and secure to users, as Siri can be used to access the Health app for health and fitness-related queries on-device.
