Touch to talk
I can’t use the speak to text option on my watch. I push the bottom and speak normally into it and nothing happens. The watch is up to date.

If it's already enabled, make sure that when you start Dictation, you're only tapping on the microphone button and not holding it while trying to speak:
Reply to a message
- Open a message, scroll to the bottom, and tap
.
- Say your message. You can also say punctuation. For example, say “Do you have any ideas question mark.”
- Tap Send.
If you want to send the message as text instead of audio, change the setting on your iPhone: Open the Apple Watch app, tap the My Watch Tab, then tap Messages > Dictated Messages.
