As and when the watch screen turns off, the microphone goes off or becomes inactive.

Alexa can be used to start an exercise, get the latest weather updates, set reminders and alarms, control your smart home devices that are compatible with Alexa. You can also change the language of Alexa to any one of the supported languages that include English, German, Spanish, Italian, Spanish, and French.
