  LOL, I selected the Mickey Mouse face. It shows the time with out the seconds 
as the description says Mickey taps his foot to keep there seconds.  I figured 
I can't see him tap his foot so that probably wouldn't be showing the seconds 
and I was right.  So now I get the time and temperature and Cupertino too! LOL! 
 I wonder what it would show if I were in Chicago. LOL!  Thanks so much for 
your help.  It's greatly appreciated.

As far as Cupertino, unfortunately, there is nothing you can do about this. 
 For some reason, some Apple devices focus on Cupertino when you are in the 
Pacific Time Zone instead of your actual location.  I have read articles where 
other devices like iPads also do the same thing.

 

As far as the seconds displaying on your watch face, this is determined by 
the clock face you have chosen.  To change clock faces, just press down with 
one finger when on your clock face.  When the screen appears, you can flick 
left and right through the different clock faces.  When you have found the one 
you want, first flick down with one finger and double tap on customize to 
choose what complications you want to appear on your clock face.  On the 
complications screen, you can flick down on each complication to change it to 
what you want each one to be, like current temperature, next calendar event, 
battery level, and so on.  Once you have your complications set, just press the 
crown to go back to the clock face screen.  You should land back on the clock 
face you had chosen.  Just flick down to activate to set your clock face and 
land back on your clock face.  Now everything should be as you just set it.

 

As far as being out of range of your phone, your time will still display.  
You will just not get notifications, and some of your complications like next 
calendar event and some apps on your watch might not work since they sync to 
your phone to get the necessary information.

 

I hope all of this helps!!  I learned a lot by listening to the AppleVis 
podcast about the different functions of the watch.

I've found that the Dark Sky complication doesn't provide any

Hi,

There's no standard headphone jack on the watch, but you can connect Bluetooth 
headphones and listen to music that you have synced to your watch. You sync

RE: Benefits of Apple Watch

[Kramlinger, Keith G., M.D.]

Thank you for mentioning the Dark Sky AppleWatch capabilities. I really like it 
as a complication on my clockface.

In the iPhone Dark Sky app widget in Notifications, I set the app to read the 
Feels Like temperature. Is there a way to have that read on the complication, 
too? It reads the air temp, but not the Feels Like.

Thanks, Keith

Hi Anna,

I’m so glad it’s working better for you.  I have noticed that just after adding 
the Dark Sky complication to the clock face, it will say something about 
double-clicking the Dark Sky complication to open the app, but once it updates 
with the temperature for the first time, it seems to be fine.  I really like it 
so far.  I never thought I would enjoy decorating my clock face as much as I 
do, considering I can’t see it anyway.  I mean, I can make use of the 
complications of course, but I also enjoy customizing clock faces with photos 
of my family or animals. :-)

Hi Jenny,

Thanks so much for the tip on Dark Sky. The last time I tried the Dark Sky 
complication, a couple of months ago, all it said was, "Double-tap to open Dark 
Sky." If I double-tapped, the first page just said, "Waiting for forecast," or 
something like that, even though the second and third pages had forecast info. 
I tried it again just now, and it displays the temperature and all the correct 
info, just as you said. It's so nice when an app improves. Thanks again for the 
info.

Hi Anna,

Thanks for the reply.  Actually, I managed to dig up something useful on Google 
that finally got me going with complications on the clock face.  The step I was 
completely missing was that once I had entered the list of clock faces to 
choose from, I needed to swipe up or down to get to the “customize” option, 
where I could set my desired complications.  Of course, only certain clock 
faces can be customized in this manner, but at least I know how to do it. 

Funny about Dark Sky and our differing perceptions of it’s accessibility with 
the watch.  I used to use an app called “Rain Aware” on my phone, still have it 
in fact, but on the Apple watch, it seems to be completely inaccessible.  
However, Dark Sky is a little funky with voiceover on the iPhone for me, it’s 
beautifully accessible on the watch.  As a complication, it shows the 
temperature, and when I double-tap the temperature, it pops me right into the 
app, which is actually more useful to me than any other weather app I have 
installed.  The only function it doesn’t have that I like, is the ability to 
send push notifications when there is lightning nearby, but I have another app 
for that. :-)

Thanks again for your help and suggestions.  I have only had the watch for 
about a week, but I can already do so much with it and it’s rarely off my wrist.

Hi Jenny,

I've found that the Dark Sky complication doesn't provide any accessible 
information. I use the complication from the built-in weather app, which shows 
the current temperature, but not precipitation. You have to go into the app to 
see precipitation. I hope that helps.

Best,
Anna

Hi Anna,

Oh my gosh, I am so embarrassed to admit that I am really struggling with 
figuring out complications. LOL  Maybe it’s just a little complicated for me, 
or perhaps I am making it more complicated than it needs to be, but regardless… 
  I’m typically pretty decent at figuring this stuff out, but for some 
reason, I’m just not getting it.  So, I have definitely and successfully 
selected my default location in the Weather app on my iPhone, and weather is 
listed in “complications” within the Watch app on the phone, but I can’t seem

Hi Keith,

As far as I know, there is no way to do this with Dark Sky.  I have only seen 
it display the actual temperature as a complication.  Someone please feel free 
to correct me if I am wrong, cause I am still pretty new at this myself. :-)

Re: Benefits of Apple Watch

[Lois Butterfield]

Hi Alan,

You can delete Cupertino from your native weather app on your phone by just 
doing a 1-finger flick up to delete and tapping.  Once you do that, it will no 
longer come up on your watch.

Take care,
Lois

LOL, I selected the Mickey Mouse face. It shows the time with out the seconds 
as the description says Mickey taps his foot to keep there seconds.  I figured 
I can't see him tap his foot so that probably wouldn't be showing the seconds 
and I was right.  So now I get the time and temperature and Cupertino too! LOL! 
 I wonder what it would show if I were in Chicago. LOL!  Thanks so much for 
your help.  It's greatly appreciated.

For some reason, some Apple devices focus on Cupertino when you are in the 
Pacific Time Zone instead of your actual location.  I have read articles where 
other devices like iPads also do the same thing.

  As far as the seconds displaying on your watch face, this is determined by 
the clock face you have chosen.  To change clock faces, just press down with 
one finger when on your clock face.  When the screen appears, you can flick 
left and right through the different clock faces.  When you have found the one 
you want, first flick down with one finger and double tap on customize to 
choose what complications you want to appear on your clock face.  On the 
complications screen, you can flick down on each complication to change it to 
what you want each one to be, like current temperature, next calendar event, 
battery level, and so on.  Once you have your complications set, just press the 
crown to go back to the clock face screen.  You should land back on the clock 
face you had chosen.  Just flick down to activate to set your clock face and 
land back on your clock face.  Now everything should be as you just set it.

  As far as being out of range of your phone, your time will still display.  
You will just not get notifications, and some of your complications like next 
calendar event and some apps on your watch might not work since they sync to 
your phone to get the necessary information.

  I hope all of this helps!!  I learned a lot by listening to the AppleVis 
podcast about the different functions of the watch.

Re: Benefits of Apple Watch

Hello,
The reason that these are called complications is that is there 
technical term. On many digital watches that sighted people use they 
have different things that can be displayed on the face asides from the 
time. In the watch world these are called complications.

Why do they call apps “complications”? It sounds like the use of 
complication has referred to apps when I have read it.

Hi Jenny,

I've found that the Dark Sky complication doesn't provide any 
accessible information. I use the complication from the built-in 
weather app, which shows the current temperature, but not 
precipitation. You have to go into the app to see precipitation. I 
hope that helps.

Hi Anna,

Oh my gosh, I am so embarrassed to admit that I am really struggling 
with figuring out complications. LOL  Maybe it’s just a little 
complicated for me, or perhaps I am making it more complicated than 
it needs to be, but regardless…   I’m typically pretty decent 
at figuring this stuff out, but for some reason, I’m just not getting 
it.  So, I have definitely and successfully selected my default 
location in the Weather app on my iPhone, and weather is listed in 
“complications” within the Watch app on the phone, but I can’t seem 
to figure out how to make it so that I can dial forward and backward 
in time to see the progression in temperature.  I did finally manage 
to somehow get come complications to show on my clock face, don’t ask 
me how, but I’m not sure how the watch decided which complications to 
show.  There is one displaying the temperature, but again, I can’t 
seem to figure out what I need to do to make it so I can scroll 
forward and back.


Personally, I would love to get Dark Sky setup as a complication on 
my clock face, which is supposed to show the temperature and rain 
percentages throughout the day I believe, but I can’t seem to get it 
to show, even though Dark Sky is listed in my complications on the 
Watch app.  I’m so confused!! LOL  I think I need to find some sort 
of tutorial on complications. ;-)

If you choose the temperature as one of the complications on your

have it return to the current time.


I hope that helps.

Re: Benefits of Apple Watch

[Nancy Badger]

Hello everyone, so, I took the plunge. I bought an Apple Watch yesterday. So 
far I love it! Can anyone please tell me how to set up the various alerts for 
notifications, messages, etc.? Are all these on the apps or are they in the 
Watch app on the phone?
Thanks

Re: Benefits of Apple Watch

[Chris Chaffin]

Hello Nancy,
I just got my Apple Watch for Christmas myself, and I would recommend going to 
the AppleVis website, and listening to all of the podcast about the Apple Watch 
done by David Woodbridge.
They will help you learn to do almost everything you want to do with your 
watch.  Just simply do a search for watch, and you should find everything you 
need.

As far as setting your notifications for your watch, just go to the Watch app 
on your phone and double tap on notifications.
Here you can choose which notifications you want to receive, and customize them 
specifically for your watch, or let them just have the same settings as on your 
phone.

Hope this helps!

Chris

Re: Benefits of Apple Watch

[Jenny Wood]

?  To check the time so quickly and handily 
is amazing.  I have Timebuzz installed, and it’s function of indicating the 
time by a series of vibrations is spot-on, I just wish I could figure out how 
to make it more convenient to check the time using this app without having to 
go through several steps first.  

I have only had the watch for a few days of course, so I am sure there will be 
much more fun ahead, once I figure out what I am doing for real.   I know 
there are still a number of functions or features I am not yet aware of.  For 
instance, someone here said there was a way to cycle the current temperature 
forward and back using the crown dial on the side of the watch, I would love to 
know exactly how to do this.  It sounds great and very useful!  

So that’s my own mini-review for now.  I hope others are having just as much 
fun with their watch as I have had so far.  And for those more experienced 
watch users, please feel free to keep sharing your tips and tricks!

Re: Benefits of Apple Watch

['Sandratomkins' via VIPhone]

hi,
Just jumping in here and have to admit I don't have an Apple Watch yet. I 
recently pre-ordered a buzz clip. this is a sonar device which will vibrate 
when things are in front of me, put simply. now, I am wondering about the 
possibilities of working with the Apple Watch. if, instead of a clip and a 
device which is larger because it needs to vibrate et cetera, there could be a 
small proximity detector set in a ring which could Bluetooth to my watch, The 
watch could do the vibrating for me and all I would have to do is point…

it seems to me that we are entering the era of add-ons, albeit specific add-ons 
for different disability related requirements, to work with our 
watches/phones/iPads. I wonder if anyone from the buzz clip community are here 
on this list? I would love some feedback, even if it's only in vibration form.

Re: Benefits of Apple Watch

[Chuck Dean]

When people ask me do I like my Apple watchI tell them that it will not do 
anything that my iPhone can't do, but I do not have to pull my phone out of 
my pocket 50 times a day, so it reduces the risk of dropping it.

And I love the Apple pay on the watch. I use it every day.

Just on the watch face I get the temperature, time, my next appointment, 
the date, the Apple stock price, and a timer.
If I double tap any of these complications I get even more information. 
Lots of information, and I haven't even gone into the app list. Of course, 
you can customize your watch face any way you want.

My two favorite apps Transit 
,
 
and RSS on Watch. 


There is no keyboard on the watch, but the dictation function works very 
well. I have used it hundreds of times and it has only made one mistake.

I am very happy with my 38mm stainless watch, but I have always been a 
gadget nut.
Chuck

RE: Benefits of Apple Watch

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Hi Nancy,

I would, at this point, wait a couple of months as there are rumours that Apple 
is going to release a second generation Apple Watch and one would suspect that 
with a new, immature product there will be a fair bit of benefit in waiting for 
the second generation model especially if it is likely to be announced in the 
next couple of months.

Apple used to often have a spring product launch years ago and then everything 
went to a September and October time frame, but now there is talk that Apple is 
going to release a new, 4 inch iPhone 6 as well as the second generation Apple 
Watch and if I remember correctly I heard something about March.

Hi Nancy and list,

I love being able to read and reply to tweets, text messages and email on my 
Apple watch. This is particularly great when I am in a situation where taking 
out my phone is undesirable.

I use my watch to time activities and the alarm function to keep me on track. 
It is a great time keeper.

Just recently, a watch app became available that allows one to get the time 
presented in vibration patterns. This means that one can silently check the 
time without disturbing others with VoiceOver. The app is called Timebuz. There 
is a new app called iReg which allows one to make audio recordings using just 
the watch.

Apple Watch is fully accessible with VoiceOver.

Good luck with your decision.

Robert Carter

Re: Benefits of Apple Watch

[Woody Anna Dresner]

Hi,

I love getting silent notifications via buzz patterns from the watch. And I 
know I'm less likely to miss notifications of things like text messages when 
I'm in a noisy place, which I appreciate.

I like being able to plug my iPhone into our car stereo and control music 
playback from the watch, so that VoiceOver doesn't go through the speakers.

I knit, and I'm doing a pattern where I need to count rows. I just got an app 
for the watch called Clicker that is a counter; you double-tap it when you want 
to increase the count. It's perfect for working with this knitting pattern.

I recently played a game called The Martian, where you're trying to help a guy 
stranded on Mars make it home. There was an Apple Watch component where I could 
see the character's vital signs. This is whimsical, but fun.

And I agree with Robert that having a timer on my wrist that alerts me silently 
is really helpful.

I also love being able to see the current temperature on my wrist, and being 
able to turn the digital crown a few times to see what the temperature is 
forecast to be later in the day.

I hope that helps.

Best,
Anna

Hi

No. No touch screen keyboard. You use dictation, emoji’s, and depending on the 
app you can have some pretyped responses.

 Just recently, a watch app became available that allows one to get the

 Timebuz. There is a new app called iReg which allows one to make audio 
 recordings using just the watch.
 
 Apple Watch is fully accessible with VoiceOver.
 
 Good luck with your decision.

Re: Benefits of Apple Watch

[Chuck Dean]

Hi Alan,
I have found a headset at Amazon, that can connect to both my Apple Watch and 
my iPhone 6 simultaneously. It's only about $25, and works really really well. 
It has a very large battery, so it will work the entire day.
It's only drawback, is that microphone seems a little week. But when you 
dictate onto this Apple Watch, the Apple Watch is microphone is the default. So 
90% of the time it's not an issue.

Here is the link:

Re: Benefits of Apple Watch

[Shaf]

Only issues I have with Apple Watch:
1. The volume is absolutely terrible in crowds. You have to use a
bluetooth headset just to hear information, which is terrible.
2. VoiceOver has a terrible, terrible lag. Also takes at least 3 seconds
to launch an app. Hopefully Apple Watch 2 will fix these issues.

My wife told me something that I Haden's thought of with my iWatch.  She said 
that one of  the doctors at work paired his Apple Watch with his Bluetooth ear 
peace for privacy and and better clarification.  I did the same thing with my 
iWatch and my Voyager Legend.  Works a treat!

I found that I can pair my iWatch with my Legend ear peace for even greater 
privacy.  I'd like to say that was my idea but alas, my wife told me that one 
of the doctors at work has his iWatch paired with his legend ear peace.  So I 
did mine that way too.  The Legend calls it phone 2.

Re: Benefits of Apple Watch

[Alan Paganelli]

Nancy,  I have found one really cool thing about my watch.  When getting a 
message, and I tap reply, a popup comes up with reply with text? or Email.  So 
I'll select text and then another popup comes up with a very well thought out 
list of possible replies such as on my way, yes, sure thing etc and just 
tapping on it inverts it and it's quick.  I have only had my iWatch sense 
Christmas Day but I find it most handy.

Re: Benefits of Apple Watch

[Chuck Dean]

Do you know that you can turn the volume up on the watch? Do a two finger 
double tap and hold and slight upper down to adjust the volume.

 Hello,
 This afternoon, I am going to have the opportunity to look at Apple 
 watches. I am deciding whether or not to purchase one. What are the 
 benefits? What have you really enjoyed about your Apple Watch? What are 
 the drawbacks? What do you wish you had known before you purchased an 
 Apple Watch? I will need to use voice over so please include excess 
 ability comments.
 Thanks very much!
 Nancy

That sounded like a typical family christmas of course, so it is ever the next

I'v been having to much fun just playing with my iWatch sense Christmas.  I 
haven't even looked at any iWatch apps but I sure would 
like to hear about any really useful apps anybody on the list has found for the 
iWatch.  I'v only had mine sense Christmas morning 
and that doesn't count because people kept pestering me.  The wife, are you 
gunna come and sit down to dinner with the rest of us? 
Do you want cheese cake?  Do this or do that! LOL!
