Well, since I don't actually own a watch yet, I shouldn't be replying to this question about Morse code. But as a long time ham radio operator, that is certainly the system I would try first. It would be particularly nice if it work where you could just have a digits, assuming you know the

The Sports Loop would be similar to the Leather Loop which has been available for some time, the band is made from interlocking loops rather than a solid band. It is supposed to help with breathability since under the solid Sports Band if you get sweaty or if your arms is wet the moisture will

Apple calls it Taptic Time, and it can be turned on in the voice over settings for the watch. There are 3 different vibration settings you can choose from. Here are the choices and the vibrations that work for each. Digits: When you double-tap the screen, Apple Watch will long tap for every

Hi, You can change the volume of the watch by two finger double tapping and holding until you hear a soft ding, then dragging your fingers up and down to change the volume in that direction. The time is generally spoken immediately when you press the button on the crown. Sent from my iPhone

These questions are directed at current Apple Watch users. I like the sound of many of the robust features the Apple Watch offers, particularly once it has cellular capabilities. But I also want to be able to easily and unobtrusively use it as a watch. In other words, once you get used to its
