You're right! When I had an Apple Watch (it smashed and I never placed it) I used to just JPR for the same reason but then often failed to act upon the recordings because of the same problem you mention. One of my "basic needs" is short term reminders. For example, I forget things in the course of a minute or two. So I created a prototype app at a hackathon where I could push a single button on the watch, record an audio clip, and it would play back automatically after a minute. It worked, but the audio volume you could manually set as a third party developer was way lower than what Apple could do themselves so you could barely hear the audio! Still.. I'd like to re-explore that idea one day as it would improve my quality of life hugely.
