I did two more trials, this time both books synced to the watch although it takes long. I never checked exactly how long since I usually put it on the charger and let it be. The book Deep Freeze which is 10 hours and 2 minutes long synced, but I was almost done with that book anyways so when I checked and saw that the book was in the app on my watch I only had 20 minutes or so left, but the watch picked up correctly where I left off and I used my Voyager Edge to finish listening to the book. I then deleted it and synced the book Super Powereds: Year 2 which is over 32 hours long. I had it on the charger since last night and the book is now there. I never turned off Bluetooth or Wi-Fi, but it does seem to work better now. I still wish I could listen via the speaker on my watch and don't see myself using the Audible watch app a lot.

There is a suggestion to turn off WIFI on the watch as the App uses Bluetooth but others say turn Bluetooth off on the phone to force it to use WIFI which is faster. A second point to come up is that there is a two stage process, which isn't visible using Voiceover, an authentication stage and the transfer itself. If the watch is locked before the transfer stage starts the process hangs. But putting it on the charger as recommended locks it. So all in all it is a pretty dismal start for a new App and thats not to mention the Voiceover inaccessability issues. So as others on the forums have said the best course of action is to delete it off the watch and wait until there is a clear indication in a future Audible App upgrade that the watch App has been fixed!
