Touch typing on Apple watch?

watchOS and Apple Watch Apps

Hi. Does anyone know how to get touch typing on Watch OS? Right now the only way to enter text in things like an e-mail or text message you have to find each letter and double-tap on the letter you want which can be pretty time consuming, and dictating text in certain places like on the bus isn't working that well. I know I can use a braille display with the watch but I feel that braille support needs some improvement. Wonder if they improved braille support with watch os 9 and if they added touch typing with watch os 9 but I guess that is to be discovered since it's still in the developement stages and we can't really talk about betas on here.

Thanks.

I don't think you can

I'm not sure if this is possible given the small size of the apple watch's screen. What you can do though, when your typing something on your watch, when you enter a textfield, the watch will send a notification to your phone, and the keyboard will come up on your phone. Whatever you type on your phone types into the watch's textfield.
