The Mickey & Minnie Watch faces do not speak the time after installing Watch OS6.0. Settings indicate “Tap to speak time” is turned on, and the sound on the watch is NOT muted. What actions should I take to resolve this issue, or is this a software problem?
iPhone XS
Apple moved the setting to CLOCK. On your Watch go to Settings, then to CLOCK tap on it and turn on "Speak Time" & "Always Speak". In addition check your Control Panel and make sure nothing is muted. I know you said you did it, but it worked for me and some others.

I had the same problem, but resolved it using the work-around described in this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/250648935?page=1
The procedure discovered by Webster603 and Mb0355 is as follows, and assumes that your volume is turned up and that Tap to Speak is ON in the Mickey or Minnie watch face settings:
This seems awfully convoluted, but it worked for me and several other people. Hope it works for you until Apple implements a proper fix.
OK, finally got Mickey to talk. Went to Accessibility tab on the Watch app on the iPhone. Selected VoiceOver, then selected Speak Seconds, and finally Always. Now Mickey speaks the sound. Don't know why this worked, but it did. BTW I have Watch4 and iPhoneX both with the new operating systems. Hope this works for you!
GOT A FIX FOR THE MICKEY & MINNIE NO SOUND ISSUE:
Try removing the mice ....then replacing them.
Same here. Series 4. Mickey/Minnie voice was lost immediately after updating to OS6.
All my settings for sound are correct, I’ve removed and reinstalled the faces, and have left watch on charger for at least 15 minutes while connected to secure WiFi. All other watch faces speak time with a two finger tap (Siri voice), but Mickey/Minnie won’t speak with any tap.
Hope this is resolved soon. For me, nothing in OS6 is worth losing Minnie’s voice.
Julieda,
Thank you for your feedback. I turned on “Speak Time” & “Always Speak”. I don’t see a “Control Panel” on the watch, but I went to “Control Center” on my iPhone and don’t see any place to mute sounds. After making the one change to the “Speak Time” & “Always Speak” setting, the sound still does not work. I deleted the Mickey & Minnie faces from the watch, then reloaded them, yet no time sound is produced when I double tap the watch face, as I did before this software update.
I have the same issue with my Apple Watch Mod 3. I found the setting under clock and turned on Speak Always & Speak Time. I have check Control Panel on my watch and nothing is muted. It does chime with other apps so the sound does work. Mickey and Minnie still do not work. Any more suggestions?
I have the same issue on my Series 4, ever since upgrading to WatchOS 6 (It worked perfectly before the upgrade). I have tried all the mentioned possible solutions, but none have worked. Is anyone getting sound from the Mickey Mouse watch face under WatchOS 6?
I am saddened with the reply I received, which indicates the Mickey & Minnie watch faces no longer speak the time after iOS 6 installation. This is very strange to me. My assumption is that the newest updates improve customer experiences. This is not the case if the latest software update deleted voice function for these watch faces.
This did NOT resolve my issue, and I will share why, but I sincerely appreciate your feedback. There MUST be a "fix" if we can collectively figure it out. I have iPhoneXs Max and Watch 4, so we have very similar apple products. I took the actions you recommend. Because I have SEVERAL watch faces loaded on my Apple Watch that I scroll between, depending on my mood.....Micky & Minnie are 2 of them. I also have the VERY bold numerical watch face and Pictures. After turning on the functions you recommend, the first watch face, which was the LARGE Numerical watch face, when I touched the screen, the time was announced. Good news...HOWEVER, I could NOT scroll to any different watch face....therefore, I could not test if Micky & Minnie speak. Possibly you have to choose only one of them for this to work. Still problematic. Oh, and not only does the watch face speak the time when I tap it, with these settings turned on, ALL the icons on the watch face speak what they are...such as "Settings", "Heart Rate", etc. Thx again for the information you provided.
I tried your solution and got Mickey to talk on my watch 4. However with the voice over features on, I could not get to the notifications or control panel. I turned off Voice over again and Mickey still talks. Interesting.
The control center on your watch is displayed when you sweep up on the watch face.
I tried the above, still no Mickey
I too tried the above procedure. Still no Micky voice
