We’ve tried what we believe is everything to get my watch to accept or send an invite. What are we missing? Tried: turning location on, allowing notifications, making sure FaceTime logged in, done iOS updates on watch and phone, restated watch and phone. It’s my watch because other person has invited other users with no problem. I have other friends on walkie talkie from older invites/requests which works fine.

Hey Sam5301,
We’d be happy to help out. Sounds like you’re having an issue with Walkie Talkie invites, both sending and receiving.
Given all the steps completed to this point, the bet thing you can do is unpair your Apple Watch from your iPhone and set it back up again. For help with doing so, check out these steps:
How to unpair and erase your Apple Watch if you have your iPhone
1. Keep your Apple Watch and iPhone close together as you unpair them.
2. Open the Apple Watch app on your iPhone.
3. Go to the My Watch tab and tap All Watches.
4. Tap the info buttonnext to the watch that you want to unpair.
5. Tap Unpair Apple Watch.
6. Tap Unpair [your Apple Watch name].
7. For GPS + Cellular models, choose whether to keep or remove your cellular plan.
• If you want to pair your Apple Watch and iPhone again, keep your plan.
• If you don't want to pair your Apple Watch and iPhone again, remove your plan. If you aren't going to pair with a different watch or iPhone, you might need to contact your carrier to cancel your cellular subscription.
8. Type your Apple ID password to disable Activation Lock, then tap Unpair.
Before erasing all content and settings on your Apple Watch, your iPhone creates a new backup of your Apple Watch. You can use the backup to restore a new Apple Watch. After your Apple Watch unpairs, you'll see the Start Pairing message.
Now you can set up your Apple Watch again or turn it off if you're selling it or giving it away.
This is outlined further here: Unpair and erase your Apple Watch - Apple Support
We hope this helps out.
Take care!
