Adding to a list or note via Apple Watch

Hi @BobHarris and @Ozzie1910 thanks both for your replies.

I can see a reminder would "remind" me to add something to a list - but that's not the same as actually adding it to a list. At home I use Alexa and ask her to e.g. "add oil to the shopping list" - so it just appears in the Alexa app shopping list when I open it. I can tick my shopping off as I go around the supermarket.

Specifically, this morning, this is the list I was making:

Birds

• Jay
• Buzzard
• Whitethroat
• Egret
• Corn bunting
• Swallow
• Skylark
• Stonechat
• Dunnock
• Great Tit
• Cetti’s warbler
• Goldfinch
• Chaffinch
• Chiff-chaff
• Long tailed tit
• Kestrel

Just a long list of "birds that I saw on my walk today". Those aren't reminders that I saw x y or z to add to a list, I've literally just opened the "Notes app" created a new note and started to type as I saw each bird. I figure it would be nice to just raise my wrist and talk.

The Drafts app - is this the one? Drafts

That seems to have a monthly fee for it. In which case I'd just go for opening my phone and typing in Notes for the number of times I do it.

@IdrisSeabright,

I didn't discard Reminders. It does indeed let me add a list of items, but it's not a list that I can cut/paste elsewhere to remind myself of what I saw on a given day.

I'll check out the iMessage idea too.

As for all those birds - it's taken me a while to get my eye in with some of them but I'm lucky that I live in the countryside near the sea so I get fields/foreshore/hedgerow/woodland. That lot was seen on an 11 mile walk (hence wanting an option that's very 'on the go' rather than stood in a hide with phone ready to type into).

Yes, I knew that. I’ve already been using it to do things like set timers when cooking of quickly calculate something. I haven’t managed to work out how to do what I asked, however.
