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. _____ From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Anna Dresner Sent: Monday, September 17, 2018 1:55 PM To: VIPhone Mailing List Subject: Re: some apple watch questions 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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
