Well, see this thread:

Shortcuts and the Apple Watch

I started a thread on this over on the talk.macpowerusers.com forum, but thought I’d post here as I’m desperate for a solution. Sorry to anyone who frequents both fora! Has anyone had any luck with invoking Shortcuts via Siri commands on the Apple Watch? Even the simplest of Shortcuts simply give the error “Sorry, Shortcuts is currently unavailable on Apple Watch.”

Sadly, right now, nothing works.

I picked up somewhere that it was on the way.

Ideally I would like to see instructions for ‘if on watch, continue this on phone’

It works now!! Woohoo

Hey Ryan @ryanjamurphy ! I still get the “Sorry, Shortcuts is currently unavailable on Apple Watch”

Have you done something to fix it?

I have WatchOS version 6.1 (17S84) (aw s3) and iOS 13.1.3 (iPhone 7)

I’m running WatchOS 6.1 and iOS 13.2.1. I can’t remember when the functionality was introduced, though. Probably best to update the phone and then check in with Apple Support via a chat if it’s still not working!
