This may seem a stupid question but....
I cannot get my watch to recognise the word "START"

Here's a transcript
ME: START
watch: stute

ME: START
watch: stop

ME: START
watch: stop

ME: START
watch: start Yes!!

ME: START
watch: stocks

........you get the picture? What gives?

I don't have the watch yet, but try "open" instead.

Thanks, that was a nice idea and it recognises the word every time but it just takes me to a google search. It seems the word "open" is not a recognised keyword.

I am having a bit more success with "start" by saying "STARD" instead, and I only mean a bit more success.

What exactly are you trying to do with the word start? Mine works perfectly when I say "open hue control", "open Tinder" etc

Do you have a heavy Yorkshire accent ?

Non-Yorkshire people say I do, Yorkshire people say I don't so I guess I'm somewhere inbetween!

Anyway, like cherrytontonne says, open seems to work just as well so I'll stop saying start.

I usually go with "go go gadget strava" mostly for novelty value.

Lol try mini launcher if it's having a hard time hearing your voice command to 'start' an app. There must be some way to train Google Now via the phone to help you with this issue.
