Hello Harry, I have a series 2 watch running Watch OS 3.
However, I have found it very useful to reboot my watch, at least once a day and, after doing so, using the digital crown triple-press to turn VoiceOver off, then back on, for best results. I do this because, sometimes, VoiceOver can become sluggish. Given that there is a lot of sluggishness when the watch reboots, if you have no useable vision, I can understand that you may choose not to do this, however.

I'm quite nervous about trying to change volume as I'm not confident I can get VoiceOver volume back again. I've also experienced VoiceOver disappearing entirely for no obvious reason, which I cursed by holding down both buttons to do a hard reset. Let's hope a fix will come!
