How would you properly dial?

It's 2017. Nobody dials. You say the person's name.

Anyway, the Apple Watch has a perfectly usable 10-key entry screen; that's what is used to unlock the Watch. Have you actually seen an Apple Watch?

it's 2017 nobody calls, voice dial is 2001.

that said my 5.2" phone doesn't have a perfectly usable tenkey, forgive me if I'm skeptical of a watch screen.

I use the pin pad to unlock my watch when I don't have my phone nearby, it works fine. I'm not going to say it's a great experience, but it's OK.

I agree I'd be more likely to use Siri or the Contacts app on the watch.

Don't they support speech to text? Unfamiliar never really played too much with one, but selecting from contacts isn't wasn't difficult. Rotary dial?

Rotary dial.

... I'm not sure yet whether that was a joke or not.
