Jul 23, 2015 12:20 PM in response to Weiss949by alex_h1,Hello Weiss949,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I see that the microphone on your Apple Watch is not picking up your voice when you try to dictate a message. Since you've already tried restarting and the issue still occurs, next I would like you to unpair your Apple Watch and iPhone, and then pair your Apple Watch again.
Unpair your Apple Watch and iPhone - Apple Support
Have a good one.

Jan 9, 2016 9:25 AM in response to Weiss949by hlesan,The first time this happened I went through the setup, unpair watch, reload, etc. Had no effect. Took it to Apple Store, no replacement, waited almost two weeks while they sent it in for "repair". Sent out a new watch to the store.
Guess what... same thing happened a few months later with the new watch. Talked with Apple Support, tried the same software resets, no effect. Sending it back again through home repair. Not sure if this is a hardware or software issue but don't notice right away because I use it only occasionally to send messages or use Siri.
Anyone else having same issues with microphone that stops working in their watch? Apple Care has been great in working with replacements but frustrating to be without a watch waiting for the "repairs".

Jan 13, 2016 7:40 PM in response to thegorg007by hlesan,Sorry to hear that. Hopefully it is still in warranty or you purchased AppleCare. Mine was found to be defective. They are shipping another replacement. If not call them and they may work something out since you are not only one with a similar problem. Won't hurt, alert they will say is no. By the way, if you do need a warranty repair, use the mail service. Was a lot quicker. Store ends up mailing it in anyway if they don't have a replacement. I am sold on AppleCare, they took care of phone issue also with malfunctioning button. Good luck!

Feb 11, 2016 9:29 PM in response to Weiss949by Chris_apple_everything,I Have also just been through the phone support (very personable) unpaired and repaired the watch still no good, went through the turn off phone and watch and the. Turn on phone and then watch and restart Siri, also no good. Wasn't going to wipe the phone for the watch especially as I am out a couple of weeks on my back up. So took it too the Apple Store and it now been taken ways for 10 days( seems along time in this day and age) and then it will be repaired. I am a little uncertain how as the receipt shows it as an unrepairable device?
Abyway we wait for the next instalment. Out of all the apple products I have this is my first to fail, so I guess I should count my self lucky
