I don’t like braille watches because I don’t like the loss of accuracy and general inefficiency that you get from analogue. I’m also not the most sensitive, and find I’m knocking the hands out of place. Ironically this was made particularly clear to me when I started using my Braille Note to get the time quietly, which I’d agree is always a nice thing to be able to do. I do not presently have a wristwatch.
Now, as to this piffling Apple Watch affair, well I intend to pick up the sport watch just to see what I can do with it. I think it likely that having it on my wrist, while the phone is docked, will make all the difference. Especially if watch-to-watch messaging works, and I can control who the close circle is. I’d say, from the existing information, that there is indeed nothing to be actually gained from having the watch over the smartphone, but that the watch will have the advantage of portability while indoors and on Wi-Fi. Although I could take it out with me while the phone is in pocket, in all likelihood this watch is best forgotten about. Call it a next-generation iPod; the smartphone replaced it, but it’s still good for the soul. :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
