What the title says. I find it very annoying that you have to delete each message at a time, just like on a mac.
Got a tip for us?

Can you delete all messages at once in Watch OS2?

I don't know about OS2, I'm just downloading it now. However you have been able to do this in OS1 all along.
With the watch face showing, sweep down from the top to display a message, then with the message showing force touch the screen. This will bring up the option to delete all messages.
It deletes them only on the watch, not on your phone.

What sort of messages are you referring to? The notifications that result in the red dot showing up on the watch face? Then yes, do as Tom G. describes.
Or do you mean all messages in the messages app? If that's what you're looking to do, you can't delete all of them in one shot, but you can delete an entire thread at once. Just open up the messages app to the point where it lists all the threads you have, then swipe from right to left across the one you want to delete. You'll be presented with two buttons, Details and Trash. Pressing trash will delete all messages in that thread. But be mindful that this will also delete them off your phone as well.
Follow the same steps to delete an email thread in the Mail app.

Correct you can't delete all, only a specific conversation with one contact. But that does not delete them from your phone or any other device. I was hoping it would be able to not have to do them one by one in OS 2 which I'm downloading now but we'll see.
Deleting messages on the watch the way you listed doesn't remove them from my phone or iPad?
Currently deleting messages ( iMessages ) from one iOS device does not remove them from any other device. Only email messages will be deleted from any device signed into the same iCloud account. Again that does not apply to Messages.
