Re: Some apple watch questions

[Jennie Facer]

I love my watch s others have said. If you do decide to get one, let me know 
and I will try to help as much as I can. When you first turn the Apple Watch 
on, you can press the Digital Crown three times quickly and it will turn on 
VoiceOver.

You would have to sit voiceover originally on the app on your phone. I went 
into the my watch app did general to accessibility and then sit voice over from 
there. Then you can tap The top like you would your iPhone screen. You would 
use you were dial on the watch to leave the home screen and select the app you 
were looking for as in heart or activity whether those kind of things. I love 
mine. I recently upgraded from a series to series for for some of the health 
benefits. Would not trade my Apple Watch for anything!

Re: Some apple watch questions

[Anna Dresner]

Hi,

You can also ask Siri to turn VoiceOver on, which might be the easiest way to 
play with your friend's watch. The VoiceOver gestures are similar to those on 
the phone except that you scroll with two fingers instead of three, so the 
phone's two-finger gestures don't exist on the watch. When you don't have 
digital crown navigation on, you use the digital crown to move quickly through 
lists.

Best,
Anna

RE: Some apple watch questions

[Sieghard Weitzel]

There is an accessibility shortcut just as on an iPhone where you press the 
home button 3 times, on the watch you press the digital crown 3 times quickly, 
but if that was never configured it may not work in which case a sighted person 
has to turn it on in Settings or you have to start Voiceover on the iPhone the 
watch is paired to, open the watch app, go to General > Accessibility > 
Voiceover and turn it on there.
As for using the watch it is mostly done by swiping and double tapping just as 
on the iPhone although you can turn so-called digital crown navigation on which 
allows you to move through items on the screen by turning the crown instead of 
swiping right or left.

RE: some apple watch questions

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hey Jeremy,

If you have so much money how about you buy me a little old Apple Watch 4 
Aluminium 40mm for $399 *smile*
I just had another look and  you have to scroll waydown in the list to get to 
these, it is beyond me, however, why one would want to spend this kind of money 
on a watch just because it has the Hermes watch face and a watch band which 
costs $500. Also, interesting enough Voiceover announces the heading as "Apple 
Watch Hermes Series 3", then it goes on to explain that these watches have 
"handcrafted leather straps and iconic watch faces". But the listing all says 
"series 4" and mentions that they come in 44mm only. If you get the "double 
tour" watch band instead of the single tour you can add another $100 or so... 
crazy.
I can buy the most basic series 4 stainless steel watch with GPS and cellular 
for $500 less and the only difference is the watch strap and watch face. But 
everybody has their preferences, I have many many thousands of Dollars invested 
in woodworking equipment and machines and we'll all make choices as to what we 
buy with the money we have available. Apple has managed it again to invent a 
category of devices which people back in the day bought once or twice in their 
lifetime, a good watch, and they made it into an item we all want to upgrade 
after a few years. My first Apple Watch, a series 2, I also bought I stainless 
steel because that model has sapphire crystal and I thought since I can be hard 
on my stuff at times it might be more durable, but while I most likely will 
buy an Apple Watch 4 I will not spend the extra couple of hundred Dollars for a 
stainless stell version any more.This is why 

Regards,
Sieghard

RE: some apple watch questions

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Not sure what watch he bought, but it sure isn't the regular Apple Watch 4, 
maybe he bought an Apple Watch 3 ceramic, it was I think over $1,000. Here is 
the pricing (taken from Mashable.com):

An Aluminum Series 4 40mm with GPS is $399 and the 44mm is $429.
If you want cellular connectivity, you will add $100 to the price point, $499 
and $529, respectively.
The higher end Stainless Steel Series 4 is $699 and $749 for the 40mm and 44mm 
sizes, respectively.
Again, add $100 for the stainless steel watch with LTE, $799 and $849.
There is no ceramic or gold Apple Watch Edition version of the Series 4.

I assume if you bought a 44mm stainless steel watch with LTE, added a couple of 
the most expensive bands and Apple care you cluld spend well over $1,000, but 
still $1,600 doesn't make sense.

That price is not even because of storage space. From what I know the
watch with LTE comes with 16 gb and it was only like 500 or so.

Re: some apple watch questions

[lenron brown]

That price is not even because of storage space. From what I know the
watch with LTE comes with 16 gb and it was only like 500 or so.

Holy crap!  what brought the price up so much.  They said it started at $400 
and something.  I realize that this was rock bottom pricing with no memory, 
but man!  That is a far cry from $400 and change.

  It will be here middle of October.

  Didn't expect to pay more for it then I did my Iphone 8+.

  That sucker cost me a tad over 1,600 U.S dollars including tax and the 
apple care package.

  Anyways, I sure hope its worth it.

  I love the workout aspect of it, the heart rate.

  I am huge into outdoors and distance etc.

  So, From that point of view and the weather I think I will.

  However, I thought there was something recently that showed a book or info 
on how to set up the watch, get familiar at least with the basic of a watch.

  I never had any of the earlier generations.

  So, this is my first watch.

  Any tips or info as to where I can put my hands on this info would be 
super appreciated.

  Thanks.

you can get more specific info, including realtime heart rate measurements.

Hi everyone,

My favorite things about the watch are getting notifications on my wrist
and the fitness stuff. In a crowded, noisy environment, getting a tap on
the wrist when a text message comes in means I'm more likely to know I
got the message. I'm not that into fitness, but being reminded to get up
and walk around each hour has improved my health, I'm sure.

Sometimes when it's hard to get my phone out in a hurry, being able to
answer the phone from my wrist is convenient.

There are apps that are really helpful in addition to the built-in ones
as well. I have one called Clicker that simply lets you tap it to count
things. I knit, and some of the patterns require counting rows. I love
having the count on my wrist, where it's easy

Hello,

I just ordered my 4th generation watch.

It will be here middle of October.

Didn't expect to pay more for it then I did my Iphone 8+.

That sucker cost me a tad over 1,600 U.S dollars including tax and the apple 
care package.

Anyways, I sure hope its worth it.

I love the workout aspect of it, the heart rate.

I am huge into outdoors and distance etc.

So, From that point of view and the weather I think I will.

However, I thought there was something recently that showed a book or info on 
how to set up the watch, get familiar at least with the basic of a watch.

I never had any of the earlier generations.

So, this is my first watch.

Any tips or info as to where I can put my hands on this info would be super 
appreciated.

Thanks.

There are apps that are really helpful in addition to the built-in ones

things. I knit, and some of the patterns require counting rows. I love
having the count on my wrist, where it's easy to access.

It's also easier to deal with text messages from the watch without
stopping what I'm doing completely. When a new one comes in, I can
quickly dictate a reply.

I hope that helps.

Hi Kay,

If you are thinking you can only have an Apple Watch 4 and no iPhone at all 
then that is still years and years away.
At this point you still need an iPhone to set up the watch.
Yes, you can make and receive calls with the LTE version of the Apple Watch 
3 and 4, but the fact is that many apps you have on your iPhone simply don't 
exist for the watch.
Also, how would  you do text input, sure, you can dictate, but there is no 
on-screen keyboard except for a dialpad in the Phone app.

Hi all,

To those of you who work out, UA Record app works fantastically on the watch
and has any workout you can imagine.  I use it for Crossfit, and it works
very well and is completely accessible.

Take care,
Lois

The fantastic thing about the Apple Watch is that it can be used in so many
ways.  It is so much more than a time piece!
You have the weather, your calendar, plus many other choices right on the
clock face for quick and easy access.
Plus, like others have said, you also have access to your notifications and
messages right at your finger tips without ever touching your phone!

I also did not know what I would do with an Apple Watch, but now, I can not
imagine what I would do without one!

Hi,

You can see your average heart rate. If you go into the Heart Rate app, you can 
get more specific info, including realtime heart rate measurements.

Best,

Hi Anna 

Once you have finished your work out is it possible to see what your heart rate 
was during the work out or can you only see your current heart rate.

Re: some apple watch questions

Hello Mohib,

The book is available from National Braille Press at
www.nbp.org 
Search for watch on the main page, and you'll find it right away.

And no, the workout app doesn't announce your heart rate all the time, though 
it is measuring it constantly. So you can unlock the screen and find out what 
it is at any time, but most of the time, the screen is locked, and the app 
isn't speaking information.

Best,
Anna

I would encourage your friend to contact the company that makes her implantable 
device. I have an implantable device for pain. There is so much variability

Hi, 


Will the watch continually announce your heart rate during exercise? Cardiac 
rehab provided upper limits that I need to be mindful of when exercising.
Thank you.

Give it a few years and I am sure we will get there with only needing
your watch for everything. It would be cool if you could connect a
tiny bluetooth keyboard for text input though. Excited for Friday.

 Hi everyone,

 on
 the wrist when a text message comes in means I'm more likely to know I

 up
 and walk around each hour has improved my health, I'm sure.

 Sometimes when it's hard to get my phone out in a hurry, being able to
 answer the phone from my wrist is convenient.

 There are apps that are really helpful in addition to the built-in ones
 as well. I have one called Clicker that simply lets you tap it to count
 things. I knit, and some of the patterns require counting rows. I love
 having the count on my wrist, where it's easy to access.

 It's also easier to deal with text messages from the watch without
 stopping what I'm doing completely. When a new one comes in, I can
 quickly dictate a reply.

 I hope that helps.

 Best,
 Anna

RE: some apple watch questions

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Kay,

If you are thinking you can only have an Apple Watch 4 and no iPhone at all 
then that is still years and years away.
At this point you still need an iPhone to set up the watch.
Yes, you can make and receive calls with the LTE version of the Apple Watch 3 
and 4, but the fact is that many apps you have on your iPhone simply don't 
exist for the watch.
Also, how would  you do text input, sure, you can dictate, but there is no 
on-screen keyboard except for a dialpad in the Phone app.

Regards,
Sieghard

Re: some apple watch questions

[Anna Dresner]

Hi,

Yes, the watch can track your steps when the phone is off. It also tracks your 
heartbeat and activity and will send all the info to the Health app on your 
phone the next time it's connected to the phone.

Even the ones that don't have cellular connections can connect to any Wi-Fi 
network your phone has connected to, and while they're connected, they can send 
and receive iMessages. Features like the timer and stopwatch also work. And if 
your watch is cellular, it can make phone calls when the phone is off.

Best,
Anna

Re: some apple watch questions

[Mary Otten]

I don’t know if it’s changing much this year if at all, but last year, I 
believe the going rate was $10 a month if you had a cellular watch. And yes, 
you can take the watch out without the phone if you have the cellular model. 
You still have to have a phone to pair it up at Cetera. But you can have it and 
have your phone at home.

Re: some apple watch questions

[pegkane52]

The last time I checked, it was $10 extra for cellular data.
Per month that is. You can take the phone or rather the watch out without 
having the phone with you if you have cellular data.
Take care.

Re: some apple watch questions

I am toying with getting the series 4 watch also, especially for the fitness 
parts. However, a friend and I were talking about it and listening to the 
keynote on it. She really thinks it would benefit her a lot. I brought up a 
question for her, and she asked me to ask my gurus! LOL!

So, two questions gurus. First, my friend has a vagal nerve stimulator for 
seizures. Would the watch interfere with it or visa versa? If nobody knows, how 
would she find out? Secondly, with cellular can you take the watch out without 
the phone? Does anyone know how much carriers are charging for the cellular? 
Thanks in advance for any answers you can give.

The fantastic thing about the Apple Watch is that it can be used in so many 
ways.  It is so much more than a time piece!
You have the weather, your calendar, plus many other choices right on the clock 
face for quick and easy access.
Plus, like others have said, you also have access to your notifications and

I also did not know what I would do with an Apple Watch, but now, I can not

Kay that has been my thought for a while now, if I can do most everything from 
my watch I will be happy for sure. I am looking forward to seeing how apple 
improves the battery during talk time. If by 2025 I can just where a watch and 
make calls and stream music for a day or so I will be thrilled for sure. I love 
movies and books with wrist comms.

I recently purchased Anna's excellent book You and  Your  Apple Watch.

It was amazingly well written!

Even with the exchange rate I didn't hesitate to hit that buy button.

I'd consider myself quite an advanced user of tech, but even I learn some very 
handy tips and tricks from Anna's wonderful book.

Advanced or basic user, anyone wanting to get to grips with the Wach from a 
blindness perspective should jump at purchasing the above title.

Thanks again for writing such a fantastic book Anna, I would rate this book 5 
stars  and then some.

Are you planning to update Getting Started with the iPhone and iOS 11 once iOS 
12 is released?

Keep up the good work!

RE: some apple watch questions

[Carolyn Arnold]

With fitness, does it give blood pressure and pulse rate? I kind of check my 
blood pressure, not as often as I should, but do, since I've never had high 
blood pressure, don't want it, but if a sign of it, want to control it. 

Best regards,

Carolyn

you if you are unconscious. They watch can also be paired up with your phone

RE: some apple watch questions

[Carolyn Arnold]

An advantage to the watch, say, if eating, it would be way easier to just 
answer the watch. Then, if you need to, get out the phone and use. I am 
beginning to see some since to getting one eventually. 

Best regards,

Carolyn

Kay that has been my thought for a while now, if I can do most everything from 
my watch I will be happy for sure. I am looking forward to seeing how apple 
improves the battery during talk time. If by 2025 I can just where a watch and 
make calls and stream music for a day or so I will be thrilled for sure. I love 
movies and books with wrist comms.

What I would add to this is that the Apple Watch is definitely meant to be a 
fitness and health device. If you like to know things like your heart rate, how 
much you walked and so on than the Apple Watch is nice.
Of course for an old biddy like you, Carolyn *big smile* something like the 
fall detection feature on the new Apple Watch 4 could be a valueable feature.
What it does is that the watch through its sensors will detect if you fell and 
if you were hurt or unconscious to the point where you could not interact with 
the watch within 1 minute an automatic call to emergency services would be 
placed, 111 in the UK and 911 in North America.
I assume that just with any call of that nature a text message would also be 
sent out to anybody else whom you specified in your medical Id section as an 
emergency contact.

My favorite things about the watch are getting notifications on my wrist and

when a text message comes in means I'm more likely to know I got the message. 
I'm not that into fitness, but being reminded to get up and walk around each

No problems at all Anna.

Both books are fantastic,  you really do know your stuff.

For anyone who wants to add another bar of gold to their library. See 
below link for    Getting Started with the iPhone and iOS 11:


http://www.nbp.org/ic/nbp/IPHONE-IOS11.html

Again, an excellent buy regardless of skill level.

I hope to purchase many more titles written by Anna in the coming years.

Hi everyone,

My favorite things about the watch are getting notifications on my wrist and 
the fitness stuff. In a crowded, noisy environment, getting a tap on the wrist 
when a text message comes in means I'm more likely to know I got the message. 
I'm not that into fitness, but being reminded to get up and walk around each 
hour has improved my health, I'm sure.

Sometimes when it's hard to get my phone out in a hurry, being able to answer 
the phone from my wrist is convenient.

There are apps that are really helpful in addition to the built-in ones as 
well. I have one called Clicker that simply lets you tap it to count things. I 
knit, and some of the patterns require counting rows. I love having the count 
on my wrist, where it's easy to access.

It's also easier to deal with text messages from the watch without stopping 
what I'm doing completely. When a new one comes in, I can quickly dictate a 
reply.

I hope that helps.

Best,
Anna

Hi Kay,

I'll mention it when I talk to the publisher at NBP in a couple of days, but my

Thanks very much, Sadam. I'm so glad you liked the book. and fortunately, 
the changes to the watch mean that while the book won't cover the new 
features, it should still be accurate about the features it describes.

I'm not doing a Getting sTarted with the iPhone book this year because 
demand is way down. The changes in iOS 12 are small enough that the iOS 11 
version should still be helpful, though.

Re: some apple watch questions

[Chris Chaffin]

The fantastic thing about the Apple Watch is that it can be used in so many 
ways.  It is so much more than a time piece!
You have the weather, your calendar, plus many other choices right on the clock 
face for quick and easy access.
Plus, like others have said, you also have access to your notifications and 
messages right at your finger tips without ever touching your phone!

I also did not know what I would do with an Apple Watch, but now, I can not 
imagine what I would do without one!

Yes the book written about the Apple Watch from Anna, it is very well written 
and even I learned many new things.
She is a wonderful contributor contributor to the list or so.
Take care.

Re: some apple watch questions

[Sadam Ahmed]

I recently purchased Anna's excellent book You and  Your  Apple Watch.

It was amazingly well written!

Even with the exchange rate I didn't hesitate to hit that buy button.

I'd consider myself quite an advanced user of tech, but even I learn 
some very handy tips and tricks from Anna's wonderful book.


Advanced or basic user, anyone wanting to get to grips with the Wach 
from a blindness perspective should jump at purchasing the above title.


Thanks again for writing such a fantastic book Anna, I would rate this 
book 5 stars  and then some.


Are you planning to update Getting Started with the iPhone and iOS 11 
once iOS 12 is released?


Keep up the good work!

I don't think you can eliminate the phone entirely. You still have to

Re: some apple watch questions

[lenron brown]

Kay that has been my thought for a while now, if I can do most
everything from my watch I will be happy for sure. I am looking
forward to seeing how apple improves the battery during talk time. If
by 2025 I can just where a watch and make calls and stream music for a
day or so I will be thrilled for sure. I love movies and books with
wrist comms.

Re: some apple watch questions

[Kimber Gardner]

I don't think you can eliminate the phone entirely. You still have to
pair the watch with the phone. So unless I am misunderstanding, if you
go out wearing the watch you still have to carry the phone. Or am I
wrong about that?

Well, I'm trying to eliminate the phone from the mix if I can.  I like the 
idea of the watch having cellular capabilities and that is one thing that 
intrigued me about the 4 series.  Bluetooth should work just fine.

Re: some apple watch questions

I've always been curious about the apple watches.
I thought about purchasing one, and trying it. If I don't like, I can return it.
Thanks for all the helpful answers.

Re: some apple watch questions

[Kay Malmquist]

When answering the phone from your watch, can you hold the watch up to your 
head and sort of use it like a phone, or is the speaker always on?  I guess 
I am talking about more privacy.  Hope this makes sense.

Hi everyone,

My favorite things about the watch are getting notifications on my wrist and 
the fitness stuff. In a crowded, noisy environment, getting a tap on the 
wrist when a text message comes in means I'm more likely to know I got the 
message. I'm not that into fitness, but being reminded to get up and walk 
around each hour has improved my health, I'm sure.

Sometimes when it's hard to get my phone out in a hurry, being able to 
answer the phone from my wrist is convenient.

There are apps that are really helpful in addition to the built-in ones as 
well. I have one called Clicker that simply lets you tap it to count things. 
I knit, and some of the patterns require counting rows. I love having the 
count on my wrist, where it's easy to access.

It's also easier to deal with text messages from the watch without stopping 
what I'm doing completely. When a new one comes in, I can quickly dictate a 
reply.

I hope that helps.

Best,
Anna

Re: some apple watch questions

[Anna Dresner]

Hi,

Setting up the watch is pretty easy. You pair it with a phone. The easiest way 
to do this is to make sure you have good lighting, turn on pairing on the watch 
and phone, put your watch on a flat surface, hold the phone so the back-facing 
camera is above the watch screen, and lift the phone up until it pairs. There 
is also an option to enter a code to do the pairing.

The watch copies most content it needs from your phone, but you will need to 
answer a few questions on the phone and create a passcode on your watch.

Best,
Anna

I meant the setup of the watch. How does that process work? Someone
told me years ago but I don't remember now. Also yeah will probably
try and grab a little bluetooth headset from amazon. I do like the
look of the once that you can pull the earbuds off the band that sit
around your neck.

RE: some apple watch questions

[Sieghard Weitzel]

What setup do you mean? The setup of the watch or of a bluetooth headset?
My wife and I have a second gen Apple Watch and most likely we'll upgrade as 
well, but I found setting up the watchpretty straight forward.
I use my Voyager Edge as well as an old Outdoor Tech stereo headset which I 
have had for about 5 years with my Apple Watch and both work perfectly well.

RE: some apple watch questions

[Sieghard Weitzel]

What I would add to this is that the Apple Watch is definitely meant to be a 
fitness and health device. If you like to know things like your heart rate, how 
much you walked and so on than the Apple Watch is nice.
Of course for an old biddy like you, Carolyn *big smile* something like the 
fall detection feature on the new Apple Watch 4 could be a valueable feature.
What it does is that the watch through its sensors will detect if you fell and 
if you were hurt or unconscious to the point where you could not interact with 
the watch within 1 minute an automatic call to emergency services would be 
placed, 111 in the UK and 911 in North America.
I assume that just with any call of that nature a text message would also be 
sent out to anybody else whom you specified in your medical Id section as an 
emergency contact.

Best regards,
Sieghard

Hi everyone,

My favorite things about the watch are getting notifications on my wrist and 
the fitness stuff. In a crowded, noisy environment, getting a tap on the wrist 
when a text message comes in means I'm more likely to know I got the message. 
I'm not that into fitness, but being reminded to get up and walk around each 
hour has improved my health, I'm sure.

Sometimes when it's hard to get my phone out in a hurry, being able to answer 
the phone from my wrist is convenient.

There are apps that are really helpful in addition to the built-in ones as 
well. I have one called Clicker that simply lets you tap it to count things. I 
knit, and some of the patterns require counting rows. I love having the count 
on my wrist, where it's easy to access.

It's also easier to deal with text messages from the watch without stopping 
what I'm doing completely. When a new one comes in, I can quickly dictate a 
reply.

I hope that helps.

Best,
Anna

Re: some apple watch questions

[Anna Dresner]

Hi everyone,

My favorite things about the watch are getting notifications on my wrist and 
the fitness stuff. In a crowded, noisy environment, getting a tap on the wrist 
when a text message comes in means I'm more likely to know I got the message. 
I'm not that into fitness, but being reminded to get up and walk around each 
hour has improved my health, I'm sure.

Sometimes when it's hard to get my phone out in a hurry, being able to answer 
the phone from my wrist is convenient.

There are apps that are really helpful in addition to the built-in ones as 
well. I have one called Clicker that simply lets you tap it to count things. I 
knit, and some of the patterns require counting rows. I love having the count 
on my wrist, where it's easy to access.

It's also easier to deal with text messages from the watch without stopping 
what I'm doing completely. When a new one comes in, I can quickly dictate a 
reply.

I hope that helps.

Best,
Anna

RE: some apple watch questions

[Carolyn Arnold]

I have two Braille watches. But I do wonder why I would want an Apple watch? 
What would it do for me, especially since I have an iPhone? I'm not a swimmer, 
so that part of it has no application to me. 

Best regards,

Carolyn

Hey guys,

OK, i have been toying with the idea of getting the apple watch. So don't 
laugh, right now, i have a braille watch, yea i know, old, lol.
Honestly i haven't really played with the apple watch.  What's everyone's 
thoughts on it?  The list of things you can do with it, it's crazy.
Just wanna get some general opinions.

Thanks,
Jed
