So it may be either mute or volume. or some watchy thing I never heard of.

To turn on VoiceOver on an Apple Watch, press the “Digital Crown,” three times. This is the button that looks like and acts like a traditional watch “stem,” except it’s also a button. That’s how I turned on VO on my Apple Watch, after which I was able to pair it to my iPhone XR, and using the Watch app on the phone, set up all its features.
I love my Apple Watch.

You can also go to mywatch on your phone. Scroll down until you see general, go to accessibility, go to voiceover to turn it on or off.

On the Mac, the F10 key (or Function F10, depending on how you’ve got it configured) mutes or unmutes VoiceOver and sounds in general. But, come to think of it, I’ve never found a way to mute an Apple Watch? How does one do this?

You mute or unmute the watch with same gesture as the phone, a three finger double tap.

Thanks for this; just wanted to make sure I knew how to reverse it before I did it. :) I have n SE, and even though it’s four generations back from current, I seriously love the way it works with my phone.
