How to access the text property of a WKInterfaceLabel in Apple Watch app

I want to type an if statement in the InterfaceController which basically goes like-

if label.text == "Hello" {
//execute some code
}

But the WKInterfaceLabel just seems to have the setText() property. So how can I access the WKInterfaceLabel's text property? Thanks in advance!

Short answer: You can't.

Longer answer, store the string in a separate variable and use that for the if statements.

class InterfaceController: WKInterfaceController {

    @IBOutlet var myLabel: WKInterfaceLabel!
    var myString : String = ""

    override func awakeWithContext(context: AnyObject?) {
        super.awakeWithContext(context)

        myString = "hello"
        myLabel.setText(myString)

        if myString == "hello" {

            //so awesome stuff here

        }
        // Configure interface objects here.
    }

    override func willActivate() {
        // This method is called when watch view controller is about to be visible to user
        super.willActivate()
    }

    override func didDeactivate() {
        // This method is called when watch view controller is no longer visible
        super.didDeactivate()
    }

}
