Did you make sure, that on you iPhone in the settings for Privacy&Security/Microphone/ the messaging app you are using is allowed to use the microphone?

Also check, that on your iPhone, in Settings/ General /Keyboard/ Enable Dictation is ON.

An in the WatchApp on the iPhone, enable Dictation in  Settings/General
