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?

I understand how frustrating this could be.


Let's see what can be done:

  1. When you say the Watch announces the time, do you mean the Watch speaks the time it is?
  2. Or does it only chime?
  3. Does it announce the time automatically on a regular basis, e.g. every hour?
  4. If not, what action on your part triggers the announcement? Raising your wrist? Other?
