Users are complaining about certain Apple Watch 10 speaker issues that are reducing the volume of calls, alarms, or music over time. While Apple hasn’t issued any official statement addressing the problem, it can be assumed that they have noticed it.

Troubleshooting tips for Apple Watch Series 10 speaker issue
Here are a few fixes that you can try for Apple Watch 10 speaker sound increase.
Use the Water Lock feature – You can use the Water Lock feature to eject any water in your speaker. Though the Water Lock feature turns on automatically when you select a water-based activity, or your Apple Watch is submerged to a depth of 10 metres or lower, you can manually turn it on by pressing the Side Button and accessing the Control Centre. You can locate and tap on the Water Lock icon. Once done, press and hold the Digital Crown to disable the Water Lock and eject water from the speaker. A series of beeps will indicate the ejection of water from your device.
Clean the speaker – Apple Watch speakers often accumulate dust and debris after prolonged use. Clean the speakers with microfiber cloth and cotton swab after removing the straps and water locking your Apple Watch.
