I've just upgraded my Apple Watch 4 to WatchOS 7. Previously I would get a notification that would appear on my watch. I would triple-click to enable Voiceover and it would read the notification to me straight away.

Hi
I have Apple Watch 5. I noticed that after updating to watchOS 9.0 the battery is draining faster. Previously my watch lasted all day but now I need to charge it at least twice a day. Has everyone else experienced this?
Thanks

Since updating my cellular Apple Watch 8 to OS 9.2 I am finding that every couple of days the Voiceover speech stops. Randomly with no occurance pattern the watch will do a long vibration and speach will stop. The hapticks still happen when I swipe the screen. I can still turn Voiceover on an off using the accessibility shortcut on the watch but even after doing this the speech does not restart. The watch is then completely inaccessible for me and I have to get sighted assistance to power off then power the watch back on.

I'm not exactly sure when this got introduced but I"m posting here in case someone has found a work-around. Essentially, I get a notification from my watch that someone has completed a workout, but no matter what I try, I cannot get VoiceOver to read the name of the person. I can read every other detail of what they've done, how many calories they've burned, just not who they are. My only work-around for this is to press the crown to get rid of the notification without dismissing it, then bring up notification center and find the notification that I just got rid of.

I apologize for cross posting but this iOS fiitness App also works on the Apple Watch.
I am the developer of an Apple Watch fitness App that uses text to speech (TTS) to offer verbal instructions for gym users. This feature provides audible instructions on your next exercise (weight, reps) and an audible signal to indicate the end of a rest time between exercises. All data will sync seamlessly with the iPhone App.

Hi guys,
I'm having an issue with an app with WatchTube which if you'll have not yet heard of that app. It's an app only for your Apple Watch that lets you listen to videos on your Apple Watch without having your iPhone with you. My issue is whenever I click on a video and go the video player, i get an eror message that says Error Message: This helps protect our community learn more. the data couldn't be read because it is missing. Can anyone help me fix this issue?

Hi, I have some questions about water lock. I tried to turn the digital crown on so now when I turn the crown water lock will go off but once I get it off, I can’t figure out how to get it back on even after I end my workout or go out of the water, my screen will just unlock really quickly and I can’t tap anything on the screen I can’t power down or do any double tapping the second that I push the crown the watch says what’s on the screen and unlock and then locks back up, it won’t even let me tap touch the screen. I can’t even swipe up for control center or anything.

Hello,
I've previously finished a swimming workout, as stated earlier--not really in my pool, which is 18 feet in diameter at the widest point. I was, of course in my shower doing that. Anyway, after I stopped this workout, VoiceOver seemed to still skip when speaking. is anyone else having this problem? of course, I'm running the Watch version 2, so it's quite a dinosaur I guess. However, it works well for me/needed something accessable for health--better than Amazfit, if you've used one of those watches.
Thanks,

I was told I cannot wear the Apple watch 5 into a hot tub as it will leak!
WHAT? was my response. I was sold a "waterproof to 16 meters" watch and it cannot handle a hot tub above ground?
PLEASE tell me this person is wrong!

Hello, I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season.
I know I am, I recently got an Apple Watch the other day for both my birthday/Christmas.
I had a question about the modular face.
I noticed when I set my weather to the bottom middle complication, or anywhere in the complications, the high and low are wrong. Did line sometimes it is right, and sometimes it is reading the high from the day before. Four instance yesterday, we had a high of 72, and today, we have a high of 15. Yes, you have to love this West Texas weather.

Hi, Since I upgraded to Watch OS9 after purchasing the new Apple Watch, the weather complication behaviour Has changed dramatically so it is a pain to use. In watch OS8 you touched the complication and heard something like local weather 16 degrees and cloudy. Swipe right and you heard the next hours pridicted forecast so you might hear 10.00 17 deegrees cloudy, swipe right again and you heard 11.00 18 dg partly cloudy etc.

Can someone help? For some reason, the weather gods watch complication is not updating. It will if I open the weather gods app, but if not, it displays information from, well, at this moment it's from yesterday. Is there a setting I should have checked to make this update, or is this a bug? I am running the latest watch OS and the latest version of weather gods.

I have found a very good app for the apple watch which lets you brows the web on your wrist. there are three modes you can brows in.
simplified, simple large font (this is accessible.)
Short summery, if you are reading an article it will shorten and summarise the article in a few short sentences. (this is also accessible)
full page, this lets you view the whole web page on the apple watch. (this isn't accessible because everywhere on the screen it just says button)
everything else is labeled correctly.

Hi everyone, is it possible that there isn't an Apple Watch app that makes it play Westminster Chime? Like the Westminster chime app on iOS but for Watch? Is there anything? Thanks.

Hi. What apps and games do you have on your apple watch that work with VoiceOver and are either fun, useful in some way, you learn from, or you like for some other reason. I am not looking for a specific type of app. All suggestions are welcome. I got a new apple watch and am trying to figure out what to put on it. Thank you.

Hello. I got my very own apple watch today and would like to know what apps to get for it.

Hello,
Anyone out there setup their Macs to auto unlock with the Apple watch? I know you need to enable vault for this to work.
I’ll get to it eventually but I was wondering if anyone has done so and if it’s working well.

I'm not sure how, but when I turn on my watch, and move the digital crown, it's supposed to read out my complications. Rings, temperature, I forget the other two. Instead, it keeps saying things like widgits. Walkie talkie, that's another one. How can I reset this without reparing it? I just want things the way I had it before. Oh, the move was the last complicitations.

If I bring up the control center on my watch, there's a switch called announce messages.
However, it's always off, and I can't turn it on when I double tap.
What is it, and how can I toggle it?
Thanks!
