Hi
If you have not yet done so, it may help to update the software on your watch:
Update the software on your Apple Watch - Apple Support
If your watch is already up to date, the following steps may help:
On your iPhone, go to: Settings > Siri - disable, pause for a few moments and then re-enable Siri.
On your iPhone, go to: Settings > General > Keyboard:
Restart both your iPhone and your watch, turning both devices off together, then restarting your iPhone first:
Unpair and re-pair your watch:
I've tried them all... when I push the button, Siri prints out "What can I help you with?" Then "Sorry, could you say that again?"... That's all it can do... it's like the mic is off... I don't have anything covering the mic... BTW it is the first Apple Watch...
Thank you!
It may help to clean your watch, paying particular attention to the microphone port (the lower of the two ports on the opposite side to the buttons), in case it has become blocked by debris.
Be sure to follow Apple's cleaning instructions (do not insert anything into the port and do not use any compressed air).
More information:
If the issue persists, I suggest that you contact Apple Support (mail-in service may be available) or make a Genius Bar reservation to have your watch checked and, if recommended by Apple, serviced (whether under warranty, if eligible, or via chargeable repair service):
To check your warranty status (the serial number is on the back of your watch):
I believe it's the mic. I tried to answer a call and my husband couldn't hear me. The mic was fine until I downloaded the new update... Do you believe it's a coincidence?
Thank you for your help.

After updating both watches, my wife's and myself to the latest operating system on both of our iPhones and watches Siri, dictation, and being able to use the watches phone function have all been disabled. Anything that needs to use the microphone no longer works. The fact that after updating both watches now have the exact same simultaneous dysfunction must mean there is a bug in the latest update
Try the following further steps:
Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support
If the issue persists, contact Apple (via the links in my previous reply) for assistance.
