How Do I Change a Dictated-into-Apple-Watch Text Message Before Sending It?

Question

Is there a way to correct a dictated-into-Apple-Watch text message before sending it? There are situations where I say something, it is correctly transcribed and then “auto-corrected” to something else entirely. At the moment all I know how t do is cancel and try again, enunciating more rigidly. Sometimes that works but sometimes it doesn’t. Then I either have to think of some other way to say what I was trying to get across or pull out my phone and use the keyboard to say what I meant to say — which is not always practical. But if there was a way to edit/correct before sending, at least the cases that can be fixed by enunciating the words more clearly could be done without just starting over. So is this possible? &#8212;&#8211; Bernard Cawley

Yup, WatchOS 8&#8230;.it also looks as if I should be able to just scroll to the right spot with the crown to edit. https://www.apple.com/watchos/watchos-8/ Well, time to go to iOS15 on my iPhone, I guess&#8230;..I don&#8217;t know why I&#8217;ve been hesitating. Thanks again.   (Too bad one can&#8217;t edit a post here, or I would&#8217;ve done this in one, edited-twice post, rather than three. Sorry about the clutter.)
