Hey guys. Hope everyone is doing well. I'm curious if this is a voice over bug or something.
I put both my apple watches in theater mode. However, when i got a phone call, the watch rang. I don't want it to ring, nor should it in theater mode. I put it in theater mode cause i was in am important meeting. Fortunately i caught it in time. It's OK for the vibration, but i don't need it to ring while i'm in a meeting. Any thoughts on this guys and what to do?

Hello, I recently had a fit bit. My experience wasn’t too good because it’s not that accessible. I am trying to decide whether to get an Apple Watch and I would use it for fitness purposes. I would like to hear from others who use the watch for fitness purposes and how accessible and what activities they use it for. Thank you.

Hi everyone. I currently use an Apple Watch Series 6 and I’d like to find a keyboard to be able to use with it. I know that the FlickType keyboard was discontinued although I think it’s still receiving updates but I haven’t been able to get it to work through my Apple Watch and I don’t want to pay for a dead app. Are there any accessible alternatives that I can download? Both my watch and my phone are on the latest software. I’m completely blind and a full-time voiceover user.

Hello everyone.
Here are my thoughts on the Apple Watch. Since these are my personal thoughts, your mileage may vary.

Hi All, i have for two weeks opportunity to try out apple watch, 38 MM, sport.
Here are my impresions after three days:
- voiceover is responding so slowly, very hard to work with larger apps.
- all apps are loading very slowly.
- in noisy environment totally inusable.
- i like very very much fitness functionality.
- i like the way how i can tune my clockfaces, complications, color etc etc.
- i like messaging app, dictating and replying to messages is very precise, even im czech language.
- i hate siri, it can not speak czech.

Series 4 with Watch OS 7.1
Using VoiceOver, I can no longer set timers other than 1, 3, 5 or 10 minutes. Swiping right just gives the "bottom of screen" sound. I've tried various swipes up and down, double tapping and even had a go with double tap and hold. No access to other timers or custom timer. This happens going in via my watch face complication or via the full list of apps. Is anyone else having this problem? Can anyone point me in the direction of a fix please? Failing that, are there any accessible timer apps for Apple watch?
Many thanks

I’ve just got my first iWatch. It’s a series 5. I’m an experienced IPhone user so know my way around using VoiceOver. However, one function of the iWatch has me flummoxed. I got it mainly for the Gym, but I can’t move the time I wish to do in the workout app. It says sweep up or down with one finger to adjust the time. This doesn’t work. Well, I can’t get it to work. What am I doing wrong?

I'm really in two minds about getting an apple watch. I saw it yesterday without voice over cause it was only a demmo on the watch, and i was all for having one.
My main reason for getting one is because i do a lot of walking and although i use the run keeper app on my phone, it can be a a hassle getting it out of my pocket to unlock it to check my time.
Are there any other devices that would give me my time and pace etc like the sports watches would for sighted people?

after years of, I don't think I want it, was bought the series eight cellular Friday. I didn't get the exact one i wanted, I want silver casing and blue band. I went with Starlight. I know i can change bands. The biggest annoyance is waiting the three whole days even with Prime shipping to get it. Seriously though, What are your experiences with apps? Things like twitter, not so much FB but Uber, Lyft, G maps that kinda thing. I need to a wireless charger soon for all these things. apple come up with your wireless mat, please.

Okay, supposedly, in Apple Watch, there is a way to disable touch to wake. I'm using a series 7 Apple Watch with the latest OS installed. For some time I've gotten the impression that there is no way to keep Apple Watch from waking if one bumps the screen. Now I'm told there is a touch to wake, or tap to wake option that can be disabled in settings.

Hi. Does anyone know how to get touch typing on Watch OS? Right now the only way to enter text in things like an e-mail or text message you have to find each letter and double-tap on the letter you want which can be pretty time consuming, and dictating text in certain places like on the bus isn't working that well. I know I can use a braille display with the watch but I feel that braille support needs some improvement.

I have a voice memo that I recorded on my apple watch that I'd like to transfer to my phone. How is this done?

I learned yesterday when visiting an Apple store that the demo watches don't allow anyone to test the watch's accessibility features.
I am interested in possibly buying a watch for my adult daughter who is blind and has some developmental delay. She uses her iPhone 6 and its accessibility features pretty well. But because she has some minor hand coordination limitations, it's important for her to see if she can handle gestures on a smaller watch screen. She has never used an Apple watch before.

Hi. My husband recently forgot his watch at home but took his phone to work. Since then, the watch has been disconnected from the iPhone and has not reconnected. He tried to unpair the watch from the Apple Watch app on the iPhone, and the iPhone gave him the "start pairing" screen, but the Apple watch still thinks it's connected to the iPhone. The settings glance says disconnected, but it shows the clock face and home screen. It has not confirmed that it is no longer paired and gone back to the setup screen. How can we get it to do that? Are we missing something?

Here is my setup:
I have an iPhone 15 Pro, Airpods pro 2, and Apple Watch 7.
When I am running on the treadmill with my airpods in (and noise cancelation on), I try to ask Siri to tell me my pulse or heart rate. Unfortunately, since the airpods are connected to the phone, the phone answers that it can't do that Of course I can ask on the watch using Siri, but I can't hear the watch since I have the airpods in with noise reduction on because the treadmill and my pounding feet are too loud to bare with out noise reduction and trying to listen to a podcast.

Hey everyone. I just wonder if there is any way we can change the apple watch typing style from double tap to tuch typing? I tried look at the typing setting under voiceover but there is no typing style there.

Hi, have just got the new Apple Watch Ultra and have one main question.
Is there a way to turn off the navigation sounds when using voiceover?
I can customise these on my iPhone, so when I swipe I don't always get that clunking sound when encountering each item as I swipe.
Ideally I just want Voiceover to speak, with no other sounds as I navigate.
Is this possible and if so how?
Many thanks. Stu.

Hi,
I turned off the headphone notifications and limits on the iPhone and apple watch, because I'm not a baby, and I can decide for myself how I listen to my audio. But that's neither here nor there, lol. Despite turning off the warnings, limits, etc., I'm still getting alerts on my apple watch, "you've gone over your headphone limit.” , blah, blah blah! I don't care! These notifications are annoying, how can I get rid of them completely? I don't need my devices managing how I listen.
