WatchOS 5 has been available for all users (Series 1 and Watch Princess Cum Vol. 14 Onlinenewer) for a few weeks now.
Speed improvements and some new watch faces are in tow, but there is another communication method in it. You've always been able to get that Dick Tracy effect by taking phone calls on your wrist, but there is now a Walkie-Talkie app as well.

Here's how to use Walkie-Talkie in WatchOS 5.
Walkie-Talkie is a pre-loaded app that comes with WatchOS 5. You'll want to make sure you're running the latest software from Apple. Open the iOS Apple Watch app > tap General > then Software Update to check.

You can manually scroll through to find someone in your address book or look at the suggestions at the top. A massive con is that you need to navigate through a long list depending on how many contacts you have.

You will get a notification when they're available to talk. The contacts that you've connected with will live in the main screen of this app, giving you easy access to chat.

It is "push to talk" meaning that you need to hold it in for as long as your message is. The contact will then receive it within a few seconds.
You can also remove a friend at any time from this main page. Just swipe left to the left on their name and hit the "X."

Being marked as available means that any chat will arrive at any moment. So if you're in school or at the office, it might be a wise move to flick the availability to off.
Lastly, to receive Walkie-Talkie messages, you need a connection, whether it's WiFi or LTE.
