Apple Watch keeps announcing time
Why does my watch keep announcing the time? Before you say I need to turn off the VoiceOver feature, it is already off. This started happening yesterday.

I had this problem at first too, but figured if you hold 3 fingers on the watch face for 2 seconds it announces the time I realized it was a feature so that you don't have to look at your watch. Maybe you are accidentally holding your fingers on the display?

This does NOT help at all. My watch has NEVER been setup to announce the time. I checked all settings and nothing is turned on to make it announce the time. I want it to stop.
Please see the following article that explains how to make your Watch play chimes on the hour: Tell time on Apple Watch - Apple Support
I understand how frustrating this could be.
Let's see what can be done:
I don't know what to tell you: I can't reproduce the behavior on my own Watch. The nuclear option would be to reset you Watch as a new Watch (don't restore it as it will reload a backup of your Watch). But before you make that drastic move, I would highly recommend you contact Apple Support: Get Support
I'm sorry I couldn't be of more help.
Yes. It speaks the time. It’s every time I move my hand. Not just raising it.

Unpair and re-pair and setup as new.
I wish that were the case., but nope. It started happening while I was prepping for dinner. Not touching anything to it, just moving around.
