Thanks All,
It was that speech was turned off. I did try turning it back on several times before posting my issue with no success. I guess I finally got my fingers just right for it to work. Fortunately that was the only issue.

So I suspect that is the problem.

Or, try triple tapping the crown to toggle VoiceOver off and then on again, or on, if it somehow got turned off.

I also could hear the clicking and there was no reason for the watch to stop talking. I do use Apple air pods 2nd gen but the watch rarely connects to them. The first time I told watch Siri to start outdoor walk workout and held the watch close to my ear pod and I could hear it on the earpod. Then it started talking again. No rhyme or reason. Lately when it happens I go to the watch screen mirroring in the Accessibility under the Settings app on my iPhone SE 3. (It does take more than a minute for the watch to connect.) Actually I can’t say I followed any specific steps from here but after a while of trying various things the sound has come back. I have been afraid to try turning the watch off without speech since on Christmas eve I was going to restart it and it went into emergency mode. Luckily that time I was able to get a sighted friend to cancel it. I wish I could be more precise about what I did but I do hope this might help. I am running watch 10 but it also happened when I was running watch OS 9 as well.

It still makes clicking noises when I move around the face and every once in a while a bell tone goes off until I do something that shuts it off. No I don’t remember exactly what I do to get the bell to stop and have no idea what I did to make the speech stop. I asked the watch to turn on VO and it did say that it was on but that’s all I have gotten it to say. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
