iWatch microphone stopped working

After upgrading my iWatch 5 to 8.0 the microphone stopped working. I can hear a caller but they can't hear me. When I attempt to respond to an iMessage, the microphone does not record what I'm saying. I checked everything recommended on Google such as Dictation enabled, Siri enabled but no luck. I'm thinking something is not set correctly. Any ideas?
