So I've had my watch series 3 for a few weeks now and ever so often I don't get anymore sound from the watch and the only way to get it back is to power off then turn back on.. I have the newest update for the watch.. this has been annoying because I only know is when I'm making a call from the watch I don't hear anything about all.
Got a tip for us?

Did you set up the watch as new, or have you re-paired it from a previous backup? If you have tried that before, I suggest you take your watch to the Genius Bar, and explain to them in detail what has been happening.
Do you ‘have the volume turned down in the watch settings? Sorry, Just realized you said it works than doesn’t work.
So it's definitely software related if it's making sounds when you power it back on versus not making sounds at all. I would perhaps try a hard reset by holding down the the power button and Digital Crown for ten seconds to see if it clears any glitches.
Might be worth un-pairing then setting up as a new watch. I've had a Series 0 since release and recently updated to a Series 3. In all that time I have had to do that once due to a bug.
My DND is not turned on until 10 PM both times this has happened during the daytime.
If it continues, unpair and set up as new. If that does not work, time to visit the Apple store.
