When I receive a call I can't answer on my watch. I can hear them but they can't hear me. The Mic on the watch has a line though it indicating it's off. Pressing it one the watch screen does not turn it on

After last WatchOS update, Siri will activate with the microphone but then nothing happens after I speak. Its as if the microphone is off but the indicator is orange and seems to be working fine. Have tried restarting it, turning Siri on and off, dictation on and off, nothing seems to be working. Microphone is not contaminated or blocked with dirt or debris. Advise?

People cannot hear my voice when I talk on my Apple Watch. I can hear them. The microphone has a slash through it but I can’t get it to go away
Having exactly the same issue. Have tried the reboot, dirt, turning on/off siri, etc. Nothing seems to work. The microphone icon stays orange. Sometimes after I restart it the mic will pick up my spoken words and retype them on screen, then nothing happens. Almost new series 9. Had been working till last update but not totally sure when it stopped. iWatch is up to date on all sofware updates. Glad to know I am not the only one.
Yes. I have checked for any debris blocking the microphone or anything but I am still having issues with calls. I can hear the caller but they can not hear me. It puzzles me and I feel that it is an issue with Apple not me.
Here's an article I found that may contain a solution for you:
Microphone On Apple Watch Not Working
If your microphone isn’t working on your Apple Watch, there are a few things you can try to fix the problem. First, make sure that your watch is not in silent mode. You can check this by looking at the top of your watch face – if there is a red dot next to the silent mode icon, your watch is in silent mode and you will need to disable it in order to use the microphone.
If your watch is not in silent mode, the next thing to check is the microphone itself. You can do this by opening the Control Center on your watch (swipe up from the bottom of the watch face) and tapping on the microphone icon. If you see a red slash through the icon, this means that the microphone is muted and you will need to unmute it in order to use it.
If neither of these solutions solves the problem, you may need to restart your watch. To do this, press and hold the side button until you see the power off slider. Drag the slider to the right to power off your watch, then press and hold the side button again to turn it back on.
Same here but with slightly older model. Apple needs to fix this. Clearly an IOS issue. I will try and call them to see. Anyone find any other solutions?
Same issue for me. Apple Watch Series 4 everything works fine except the microphone will not work for calls or Siri. I have the latest iOS, have tried restarting and cleaning. Still no mic even though not muted.
Unable to talk on my Apple Watch Series 4 ?
How can I turn on the mic on my Apple Watch?
