I recently updated my Watch to OS 3 and can not get Mickey/Minnie to speak the time when tapped. I have already made sure that "Tap to Speak Time" was selected on (both watch and phone). Watch is not in Silent Mode and the volume is up. I have restarted both the watch and phone and that didn't change anything. Am I missing something?

It should not be necessary un unpair and re-pair your Apple Watch.
If the feature is not working as expected, then in order to use the Mickey Mouse or Minnie Mouse watch faces with their Tap to Speak Time feature, follow these steps:
On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch > Sounds & Haptics - turn on Tap to Speak Time.
Check that Silent Mode is not enabled:
If the feature still does not work as expected, then it may help to close the Watch app and restart both your iPhone and your Apple Watch before repeating the steps:

I have the same issue.
Hi,
Do you have silent mode turned on (green = on)
if yes turn it off and it should then work
There is no green option only pink for silent and grey for not silent?
in the iPhone watch app do you have a setting like this?
Yes, the Tap to Speak is turned on.
Silent Mode is off.
Are you connected to WIFI? I tried this feature at home (no wifi) and didnt work. I got to work, connected to wifi and it worked no problem. Hope this helps. :-)
Which language is your watch set to?
And you have to raise the wrist before you tab the watch face. The watch needs to wake, before Minnie will notice the tap.
Tip: Raise your wrist and tap the watch face to hear Mickey Mouse or Minnie Mouse tell you the time.
Actually I don't believe that I was connected to Wifi. I will have to try again once I can connect.
Yes, it was raised before I attempted to tap.
Minnie Mouse is speaking beautifully for me, even with the paired iPhone turned off and no Wi-Fi connection. I tested this while being out of reach of our university Wi-Fi.
But I was connected to Wi-Fi and the paired iPhone unlocked when I first added the Minnie watch face.
Tapping to speak the time worked only after I added the watch face a second time and switched between Mickey and Minnie.
All settings are how they should be And still no voice going to go to the Apple store tomorrow to take things further.
I also suggest letting Apple know that you are experiencing this issue:
