How to disable autocorrect on Apple Watch 7?

About four months ago M_tr28 asked this question:

"Many of us are demanding answer for this question. We often text using abbreviations or even in different languages. In case of misfortune where we can’t find our phone or can’t charge our phone etc., autocorrect has become the most annoying. The last thing anyone want to deal with while having to text on a tiny screen is autocorrect. Please comes up w a solution soon.

Thanks

The reply didn't give an answer: autocorrect is disabled on my iPhone but on my Watch7 the autocorrect is still on. Please reply with a real answer, thanks.

Hi Brbo,

Thanks for your reply. No problem you couldn't find the correct answer, neither did I. The only thing I found is you can't disable autocorrect on Watch7.

Oops ... realising that article, searched for as Watch ... was not specifically for Watch!

Humble apologies if it does not also work for Watch!

Only relevant thing I found for Watch is alternate methods of entering text:

Thank you for letting me know, Thomas_Europe,

If you want, you can send Feedback to Apple.

Product Feedback - Apple

They will likely not reply, but I understand the info, does reach those able to make changes.

Perhaps turning off autocorrect may become possible in future WatchOS updates, if enough feedback is received.

Hi again,

It's been two weeks ago & Apple didn't answer me so I think you can't enable autocorrect on Apple watch. If, in the unlikely case, Apple answers I'll post their answer here.
