Check the settings here;

On the phone;

Go to: Settings/Siri & Search - check the all desired settings are enabled.

Go to: Settings/General/Restrictions - check that the restriction for Siri & Dictation is not enabled.

Go to: Settings/General/Keyboard - check that Enable Dictation is turned on.

On your Apple Watch;

Go to: Settings/General/Siri check that Hey Siri is turned on.

To use Hey Siri on Apple Watch, the display must be awake.
