Hello everyone,
Thank you to those who have responded to my questions about the Apple
watch. I really appreciate it. For some reason, I wasn't expecting much
of a response. Or I thought you all would say it wasn't all that
accessible. I am glad I was wrong on this.
My main reasons for wanting to possibly get one, is so that I can track
my activities, and my sleep. I am wanting to start exercising a bit more
than I do. I think it would be very beneficial to me to possibly have a
watch.
Also, I don't always sleep well. So being able to track this better, and
easier, would really come in handy.
I almost always have my phone with me though. So I don't know if I can
justify making a purchase like this.
As for the sleep tracking, does the watch somehow do this on it's own?
Somehow keep up with your sleep?
Or do you just have an App on your watch and phone, and you have to
enter in all the information yourself.
Also, what are some of the ways the watch tracks your activity?
If I were riding an exercise bike, would it be able to possibly help me
to know how fast I was going, and how many calories I burned? Or would I
need an App to help me to do this?
Also, how do you all respond to notifications, and text messages?
How can it be easier to respond to texts messages from the watch? Or how
can it be easier to read notifications?
I would assume that the watch has to be charged every so often?
If so, how does this work?
Also, someone mentioned only having 2 faces.
What does this mean?
Why would you possibly want different faces?
Sorry for all of the questions. I know there are a lot here. I hope you
all won't mind. I am fascinated though, and would really love to know more.
Thank you,
Terri

I think I got my apple series 3 watch about two years ago. I don't know how I
have been able to get along without it for so long. I sometimes read my email
on it, read messages, use the timer. I only have two faces on it but that works
for me. Sometimes I answer a phone call with it but I have a hard time knowing
who is calling so don't use that part very often. I'm always forgetting the
date so that's very handy for me. Also, I have many alarms set on it.

as one can get a range of straps for the apple watch, there is a good chance
that you should find one to accommodate you. I mainly use mine as a swimming
tracker and alarm, as I mainly swim in open water, so it is handy to have an
accessible vibrating alarm that will for example, give me an idea that I have
had a certain amount of time in swimming and should think about heading back to
shore.

Subject: Re: How accessible is an Apple watch
Hi everyone,
Hope all of you are doing well. I too have the same questions as I do not own
an apple watch. However, I am looking into purchasing it in the future. I was
going to purchase one, but unfortunately, the pandemic hit so I am unable to
try one on for myself. Also, I have an added challenge because I have small
wrists since I am very petite. Does the Apple Watch fit small wrists?
Also, did you buy the EarPods when you got the Apple Watch in order to hear the
VoiceOver on the Apple Watch while in crowded settings?
How are you able to hear VoiceOver through the Apple Watch if you don’t own
EarPods in noisy environments?
Can the Apple Watch serve as a suplemental mobility aid for navigation in
addition to other tools like a cane or service dog?
What were the primary reasons for purchasing the Apple Watch?
For those of you who are totally blind, what are the most important uses for
your Apple Watch?
Hope this helps.
Stay safe and take care,
Priscilla

Hello everyone,
I am curious to learn more about the Apple watch.
How accessible are they?
Are they easy to use? Or more difficult?
For those of you who have them, what sorts of things do you do with them?
Can you track your heartbeat with them?
What about your sleep?
Any thoughts are much appreciated. Also, if anyone knows of any tutorials, or
things I could read, please pass them along.
Thank you,
Terri
