Hello,

Yes, on the Apple Watch 7 and up there is a on screen keyboard. Just as stated 
before: double tap on the text field, and the keyboard should pop up, it will 
take up about 3/4 of the screen. It is accessible and convenient some of the 
time. It gets much easier to use with Watch OS 10, as they have added the touch 
typing function to the rotor  when in a text field. You also have the same 
rotor editing functions on the watch as you do on the iPhone. It’s a pretty 
cool feature.
