Q: WatchOS3 - Mickey won't say the time
I've read that with the new Watch OS tapping on Mickey or Minnie will initiate a telling of the time in their voice. So far, I have not been able to get them to say the time by tapping. I have a first generation (pre-Series 1) watch, which hasn't had any issues with prior OS updates. To resolve this issue I've:
- Removed and re added the watch face and attempted both Mickey and Minnie.
- Ensured that the "Tap to Speak Time" is enabled.
- Made sure that Silent Mode is not enabled on the watch.
- Turned the Alert Volume all the way up to maximum.
- Ensured that other alerts are working - which they are. Alerts for mail, messages, Facebook, and calendar entries all sound off.
- Single tapped, double-tapped, and triple-tapped in trying to get them to say the time.
- Restarted the watch and tried all the steps again.
I'm stumped. Anyone else having this issue? Is this only an option for the Series 2 watch? Any suggestions that I haven't tried yet?

Found a talking watch face toggle under Sound and Haptics in the watch app on the phone.
Switched off.
Went into Mickey face and turned off talking watch face.
Went into Minnie face and turned off talking watch face.
Turned off watch.
Turned on watch.
Went into Sound and Haptics and switched on.
Success.
