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?

Apple Watch, watchOS 3
