Re: Experiences with Android Smart Watches with Talkback?
Re: Experiences with Android Smart Watches with Talkback? uh,,, 60 euros is relatively inexpensive hopefully you will figure out the model and get a charger. A friend has a polar sport watch. Its really expensive but apparently it is the ultimate fit tracker and stuff, I think it has no screen reading capabilities but I would have to see if I can get my hands on it temporarily at some point URL: https://forum.audiogames.net/post/434959/#p434959 -- Audiogames-reflector mailing list Audiogames-reflector@sabahattin-gucukoglu.com https://sabahattin-gucukoglu.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/audiogames-reflector
Re: Experiences with Android Smart Watches with Talkback?
Re: Experiences with Android Smart Watches with Talkback? I just got a Smartwatch from a friend who didn't use it anymore, so he gave it to me, but I need a charger.I don't know anything about it; I just know it cost 60 euros in Germany. I don't even know what model it is. It isn't for sure Samsung as there's no logo on it. Assuming it cost 60 euros, I am guessing it is good.

Re: Experiences with Android Smart Watches with Talkback?
Re: Experiences with Android Smart Watches with Talkback? I've heard they are bulky, and I have a very small wrist. I've also heard the screen readers tend to act weird. I won't be getting one, but that's mainly because I have an iPhone and my wrist is too small for a big watch. That's why I like the Apple Watch, that plus no pins in the bands. Those things always come loose on me.

Re: Experiences with Android Smart Watches with Talkback?
Re: Experiences with Android Smart Watches with Talkback? Hi.Lol Ty: That was exactly the link I posted. Regarding smart watches: A Wear OS watch can be pared with an iPhone as well. There is even a Wear OS app to administrate the watch, and it is accessible. So I don't really see the difference between a Wear OS watch and the Samsung Watch, especially if you wanna go Android full time.Because no one seem to have tested it, I'll get a Wear OS watch in the near future.

Re: Experiences with Android Smart Watches with Talkback?
Re: Experiences with Android Smart Watches with Talkback? No, that's not it, sljI'll post the link in a second. We don't do a lot of android videos, but we both have used android for at least 4 years.I got the galaxy watch for the main reason that it has dark screen, a built in hourly chime, it doesn't play the sound from your phone threw it, it uses the watches own tts, the app is nice and accessible, it can even work with an iphone, if, for some reason, you want a watch to pare with an iphone. Functionality it quite limited when you do that, but it's doable.

Re: Experiences with Android Smart Watches with Talkback?
Re: Experiences with Android Smart Watches with Talkback? The reason I did not test any is because, 1. none of my friends have it and 2. the people at the tech stores do not let you activate talk back, even on phones.And like TY said, you can count on me if you need any answers regarding android, I am really glad to help a potentialy new person in the android comunity. I could try and find a cheap wear os watch on blindbst, or on eBay, something with a speaker, but I do not want to invest into an used one because personaly I do not want to buy it and not use it for much.You can try that though if you are really interested in wear os only, or you could just go with a Samsung which I know for a fact it works with an Iphone too.

Re: Experiences with Android Smart Watches with Talkback?
Re: Experiences with Android Smart Watches with Talkback? I am really thinking to purchase one of the Samsung ones just because the only android phone that I have and is not Samsung is a Nokia 3 and that is not going to change any time soon.I do not have a problem with wear os, I am just used to that Samsung interface.I had a 5 dollar smart watch, a DZ09, the one with the home button acting as power too, there are multiple variants of almost the same thing, but it had no speech, I could play music and stuff, but just no.I ended up selling it for almost 20 dollars, a great profit for me.If I ever want to familiarize with one of these more, my mother got almost the same model, it still says DZ09, but it has the button on the side, a touch home button and much better speaker.

Re: Experiences with Android Smart Watches with Talkback?
Re: Experiences with Android Smart Watches with Talkback? I recently purchased the Samsung gear s3 frontier. And are enjoying the pleasures of its accessible features. As somebody mentioned above the spinning bezel they call the gear is very therapeutic to spin lol. I charged mine every 3 days that includes a good amount of use making calls playing music doing workouts Etc.Also loving how easy and accessible it is to change their watch bands to whatever you like which is compatible, I think I went a bit overboard with the watch bands as I have multiple colours in silicone and multiple coloured metal bracelets.You can compliments any colour watch band you pick by selecting one of the thousands of different watch faces, which can give it a feel & look of a new watch.only problem I have had with the watch is certain apps don't want to work while accessibility is turned on and wish it had Google assistant.P. S I am using a razer phone with the compatible app link to it.

I'm not sure about the watches which runs Wear OS though.Regarding Android in generel: It's a shame that there is no public forum like the Applevis forum. I'm already on too many email lists, so I don't wanna subscribe to yet an other huge mailinglist, unless I really have to. Most websites which covers Android accessibility haven't been updated for more than one year. So it's very difficult to find any up to date information regarding accessibility.

Experiences with Android Smart Watches with Talkback?
Experiences with Android Smart Watches with Talkback? Hi.I have read about Wear OS, which is Googles operating system for Smart watches. I would like to hear if any of you have experiences with this system, and if it works great or not.How much can you do on the Watch compared to the Apple watch? What useful and cool apps have you installed on your Watch?I feel like trying something new, and I have looked at the Ticwatch Pro which sounds like the best watch for now, which have a speaker.Does Wear OS have the tactil time like the Apple Watch, where the watch vibrates the time instead of speaking it? I'm using this feature every day on my Apple watch so I don't disturb other people.I hope to hear from you if you have any experiences with those watches.
