Really liked that app for iOS but unfortunately I cannot trust it. So many messages are being stuck in queue or failed. Have reported but no solution. Still think my solution above is better though. Thanks for the tip if you like the app and it actually works I can see that it is useful.
Thanks for mentioning that, you have to trust your tools. I do not use it often so I guess that's why I haven't experienced a problem with it.
Somehow Drafts and I have never clicked. It feels like an inbox for my inbox and it is not as good at extracting information from other sources as the apps I use a lot. For example, Bear does an amazing job of extracting text, formatting and images from web pages and translating into markdown.

Clayton -- I have been tweaking my capture devices for *years* and the ones you outline in this post are the exact ones I have found most useful. However, your post is now almost two years old. Are you still primarily using Drafts and Hey Siri? Does the Drafts Apple Watch complication still require two taps to audio record? Have you found any lower friction capture device for the Apple watch?
The short answer is yes. Drafts Author Greg Pierce has been working on a fix to the Apple Watch issue and the new Capture with Options complication actually works very well. It is easier to use than the standard Apple Watch inputs. It reduced my friction quite a bit.
I've added a tool named Omnivore for reading material. I capture a great deal of potential reading material and Omnivore allows me to have things read to me and also to flag with various tags. It integrates with Obsidian, so notes on the various reading material can be integrated into Obsidian. I have a reMarkable now that I use sometimes for capture when doing a mind sweep around the house.
+1 for Omnivore. I actually find most read-it-later apps pretty worthless, because they mostly function as an unnecessary intermediate inbox. Omnivore Is good for reading for research: I want to extract information from what I read. The markdown export of highlights is perfect for me.
I do not use it with the notes app. However you could add it to you grocery reminder list by telling Siri to remind you and ad to Grocery list.
There is no official Apple Notes app for the Apple Watch. There is a 3rd-party app which might be ok. The Watch supports Calendar and Reminders well. I use Siri routinely and easily for Watch -> Reminders -> Things.
I've had to turn off recognition of Siri on every apple device I own. It was activating so often, it interrupted much more than it helped. I do the long press on the crown on my watch to activate Siri and sometimes long press the phone button in the car.
If they have any support for their native app, I would contact the app's developer, and:
I've been an Arccos user for almost three years and I've come to rely on the advanced analytics after the round to help me see where I'm improving or getting worse. While I love the data and the UX of the Arccos app, I've started to get really frustrated by the number of shots it misses (I'm using the Link device to detect shots) as well as the really poor AI recommendations the app makes. So I decided to pick up the Garmin S70, which I used for a couple of weeks before realizing it was not what I wanted either. My opinion is that it's really great during the round, and gives good info including slope, barometric data, etc., but after the round it leaves a lot to be desired from a data standpoint. The only software option currently available to use the data collected by the watch is the Garmin Golf app, which is essentially just a digital scorecard. It does track club distances but that's about it. There is little to no analytics to help you improve as a golfer. I just ordered an Apple Watch SE and am going to try some apps like The Grint, Golfshot, 18 Birdies, and PAR Golf as soon as it arrives. Has anybody else gone on this journey before me and has some advice or knowledge to pass on? My ultimate goal is a solution that provides shot-tracking capability, in-round AI caddie advice, and post-round analytics preferably using strokes gained metrics.
Yes, if you get the newest Apple Watch, you can definitely say, “Hey Siri, take a note... add milk to grocery list,” and it should sync with Apple Notes on your iPhone! It’s super handy not having to touch anything, and Siri usually knows to respond based on what’s closest. If you’re near both your watch and your phone, it tends to pick up the command on the device you’re wearing, which is pretty cool.
