Detect WKInterfaceButton pressed continuously?

Question

WatchKit is here and comes with a very limited code for the programmers.

My question:

How can I detect if the user is pressing a WKInterfaceButton continuously?

• Selector ... forControlEvents .. are not supported.
• Touches begin ... are not supported.

Thanks for your time!

Best regards,

With WatchKit for watchOS 1 there is no way to detect a long press on a button. A long press is considered a force touch, and brings up the force touch menu if you have implemented one.

WWDC 2015 just finished, and Apple announced watchOS 2, which has a lot of new exciting features. Long press is not one of them (as far as I know), but WatchKit is now a lot less limited.
