How do I fix Mickey/Minnie not speaking?

Not speaking when tap.
Anyone else having this issue?
Settings are fine. It worked on my previous watch!

Yep. No talking Mickey for me either.

Me too. Don’t use it a lot but it’s fun sometimes.

I wonder if it's only affecting the 3rd generation Apple Watch because tapping Mickey on my original series Apple Watch causes it to speak the current time.

I hope a fix happens

re:

I googled it. I did unpair and paired up. I did power it off. Still. No voice

re:

It's not affecting all Series 3 watches, I have no issue with Mickey or Minnie on my Series 3 GPS watch. The one suggestion, make sure the 'Tap to Speak Time' option is set on in 'Sounds & Haptics' in the Watch app on your phone. If nothing else, you can try turning that off and then later try switching it back on, see if that helps the voices download.

Ok. I think I found the answer on Apple support. I had to select the Mickey Mouse watch face, have both my watch and iPhone in an area with WiFi and then wait. It took about a half hour but it finally worked. I guess the watch is downloading the language in the back ground or something. At least that’s the explanation in Apple support.

Oh and you can’t have silent mode on.

re:

Thx. I will try when am in a WiFi area. I don’t have home internet. I have a Jet pak and uses my data.

I tried that. No luck

I’m not sure what’s going on. Seems like a hassle just to get a mouse to tell me the time. Lol. Mine is working now though after following these steps.

Here is a link to the Apple support steps to follow.

No problem. I wish I could help. I’m not sure what else to try.

re:

Do I put on charger after watch turned on. I put it on charger while turning on. Is that my mistake?
I am sure it’s on WiFi. There is a green lightening bolt icon

re:

My jet pak WiFi won’t work. Darn. That’s the problem
I can’t figure what am doing wrong

re:

And it’s the right WiFi band requirement
