Why the Apple Watch is not speaking time with two finger tap?
There is this feature on the Apple Watch where the watch speaks the time aloud whenever you tap the screen with two fingers.

Just placing two fingers on the watch surface and having the time read aloud is an ease of access feature that every watch users enjoy.
This feature stops working in certain situations. The watch actually stops calling out the time allowed if the device is in silent mode. But, there is a nice little trick where you can just make the watch ignore the silent mode and read the time to you.
Fix 1 – Disable the Silent mode
The first basic troubleshooting step is just to turn off the silent mode on the watch.
Step 1 – Press the side button on the watch gently.
