Question for Apple Watch wearers: is Siri on the Apple Watch the exact same as Siri on the iPhone? I ask, because it's not the case with the one on Android Wear - the watch version can't answer factoid-style questions ("What's the tallest building in Dayton, Ohio?"), can't identify songs, can't perform simple system commands ("Increase scree brightness"), etc. It's still convenient and useful, but it's just not as good as I had expected. I'm due for a phone upgrade sometime soon and starting to seriously think about switching from Android to iOS. Update: it looks like phone version has regressed and can't identify songs any more :(

Siri is much the same on the watch, except for when it can't answer a question - on the phone, it says "I found this on the web" which the watch can't do as it doesn't have a browser

Siri on the watch is the same as Siri on the phone, the only real difference is Siri on the watch will often tell you that you have to continue the question on the phone (e.g. if the answer requires searching the web or something of that nature). Also, I haven't tested with iOS 11, but Siri on iOS 10 still recognizes songs just fine. I haven't tried recognizing a song with my watch though (and the question there is if the microphone on the watch is good enough to pick up the song well enough to identify).
