I contacted Apple Support and Brady instructed me to Un-pair my Watch from my iPhone and then Re-pair. Once I did that Mickey/Minnie begain to speak, pretty cool feature.

Another user has found that unpairing and re-pairing their watch has resolved the issue.
Although you have already tried this once, it may help to try it again:
Also try toggling the Tap to Speak Time setting.

Sep 15, 2016 7:49 PM in response to Electomanby Tocam,This is what you have to do:
1) Make sure your phone is connected to WiFi (unfortunately this is the only way)
2) Go to the Watch App on your iPhone
3) Activate the Mickey watch face - make sure the "Tap to Speak Time" feature is turn on
4) Leave phone on with the Watch app for 15 mins
After a short wait, it should be working. I read somewhere that is how long it takes to download the speech and made it available on the watch.
Seems true because after I did the above it worked.

Sep 20, 2016 7:14 PM in response to Electomanby tonybeetlebailey,After an unsuccessful visit to the Apple Store, I returned home and did the following to fix my issue with Mickey or Minnie not talking when tapped:
Ensured my phone was on my wifi.
Unpaired the phone.
Hard reset both devices and swiped all apps on my phone.
Paired the Apple Watch again and used the "Restore from Backup" option. I restored to my first backup (the watch is brand new and only had two backups listed).
Even after the re-pairing, the tap to speak time issue was still not resolved. I went to the watch app on the phone. I selected the Mickey Mouse face. I then went to the "Sounds and Haptic" option in Settings. I set the toggle to"Prominent Haptic" and turned the volume all the way up. I turned the haptic strength slide all the way to the right.
I then went back to my watch and tapped on Mickey and it worked again!!! I then changed my haptic and volume settings back to where I usually have them. I am one happy camper. Got worried there for a minute. I hope this helps you!

Sep 21, 2016 7:38 PM in response to tonybeetlebaileyby Talik13,IM so glad you posted this. I was having the same problem and it looks like all I needed to do was turn on prominent feedback and toggle the speak off and on again!
now it works and I can put my sound settings wherever I used to have them.
Thanks!!
