That would be like saying a sighted person would have to look at the iPhone to 
see the information the watch provides. Yes, the watch requires an iPhone, but 
it will have its own apps and one major roll is to give access to notifications 
and messages/emails quickly so if it doesn’t speak it will be of little or no 
use to a blind person.

my understanding is that the watch does little by itself, and must be paired 
with an i device, so accessibility will likely be provided through the I device.

The latest-generation iPod shuffles have VO on them, so why not the Apple 
Watch? I won't be able to buy one for the time being, but I'm intensely curious 
about it.

Personally, after watching the keynote again, I will be amazed if they can pull 
it off. This device is very small.
But I am also wondering if having the apple watch would deliver any advantage 
over the way I use my iPhone.  

But that being said... If the Apple watch is accessible, I will be one of the 
first to buy one. I am kind of a gadget not.
