Mickey face not speaking when tapped

I Have updated to iOS watch 3 and neither the Mickey or Minney watch faces speak when tapped. I am not I silent mode, the volume alert volume is set for max., and the toggle is set for tap function. I have removed and reinstalled the faces and have unpaired and repaired my watch to my phone. I have restarted the watch several times.

Apple Watch, watchOS 3

OK, after trying many different suggestions, here’s what worked for me:

Unpairing and pairing did NOT work. Simply waiting 15 minutes did NOT work.

NOTE: I was connected to WiFi for all of the above AND below attempts.

1. I turned off the Auto Lock in settings so the phone would stay awake.

2. I opened “My Watch” on the phone, and deleted the Mickey watch face. (I had added only the Mickey)

3. I added BOTH Mickey AND Minnie faces to “My Watch” and left the phone on the “My Watch” screen for about 20 minutes.

Both Mickey and Minnie now speak the time audibly.
