I have had the Series 0, 2, and 4 now. I am likely missing a tip that makes it easier dictating messages (e.g editing the message) than cancelling and redoing it. Perhaps there is a command to edit the message?
Got a tip for us?

Tips for sending messages from the watch?

If you tap on a word it will put a blue or green box around that word and you can use the wheel on the side to view different words that it thinks you might have said.
Also set pre set responses to a few things your normally say or quip back with.
There’s also voice response as well, if you want to go full Dick Tracy.

Thanks, I will try that. I have not noticed that option before. I have been cancelling and redoing the dictation until it was correct.
I use the preset responses sometimes but they are usually too brief.
Yes, It works about 60-70% of the time but I usually don't want to send it with the completely wrong word. Haha
In case you missed it, CaptMarvel is saying you can make your own. I have done several replies I use frequently.
Has anyone tried this?? On my watch (S4), it will just send if I tap the screen after composing with voice.
Yes, I have filled added a few new ones but I rarely use them.
I just tested this...
If I raise my hand and say "Text (name) hi". The watch shows a mock showing "Ok, I'll send this (Messages) To: (name) Hi with only 1 option to pick "don't send" and I cannot click on the word to change it.
However, sending a message from the message app, it will automatically send the message without confirming the message.
Not once. I started testing by messaging myself than sending someone else for testing this.
If I tap the word to attempt to change the word, it will automatically send the message than click the send button. There is only a cancel button.
I attempted to send myself:
"this is a test... delete".
-This is a test (was correct)... somehow it said "Tweet" than delete and when I tapped it and it sent "This is a test Tweet".

Yes, it works fine pressing the delete button using the scribble option but that is slow compared with dictation. I still cannot edit dictated messages.
Yea trying the tip now it seems to ONLY work for me in scribble - any advise from those that have this working with dictation?
For me, Scribble is a hidden gem for short replies.
Yeah and with the larger screen now it works that much better!
is it possible to send audio messages?
[doublepost=1539936374][/doublepost]ok, sorry. i noticed that after pairing/unpairing the last time the setting relevant to audio messages was turned off.. maybe this is why i wasn't able to send audio messages.
i'll try again later

Yeah, I’m also not seeing this work for dictation.. if this is true, can someone post a video??
Yes, this is still the only way to make an accurate text and it is annoying. Dictated texts still do not work great because I cannot edit without redictating. I thought a word could be held on and edited before. Not all that interested to send a nonsensical text if I can't edit it.
