apple watch series 3 microphone not working

I've done EVERYTHING suggested to fix the problem of the microphone not working. I've checked to make sure everything is on, enabled, unpairing and pairing as a new watch, also, pairing with my phone back up. I've been researching for the last two days, doing everything that is recommended. This is very frustrating. Has anyone been able to correct this problem? Nan_80

Does your microphone work for some apps (like Siri) but not for phone calls? That's my issue...I wrote:


Apple watch 3 microphone works for all apps EXCEPT when answering a phone call on the watch. There is a / through the microphone and I have been unable to remove it. I can hear the callers but they cannot hear me. This has been going on for months now with no resolution. Frustrating. HELP!
