I'm thinking that the Apple watch will be sort of like a remote control that also sends info to, and receives info from, your iPhone. The speaker in the watch might serve as a way to alert you with beeps, while responses from Siri and other such info would come through the iPhone. Textual data would show on the watch or, maybe, heard through the phone. This is only guesswork, though.

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.

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.
