    You can also go into accessibility and turn on the crown button so that you can throw through your menus using the crown button while using voice over. That way you don’t have to do all the gestures if you do not wish to.

    Great video! I’d use air pods along with zoom and voice over! I never knew there was so much accessibility in the watch. I always wrote it off for sighted people but maybe I should pick one up!

    Do you think the new Apple Watch Ultra with it's bigger screen will be much better concerning the fat fingering? I am seriously considering to buy one.

    Thanks for putting this video together. Is there a gesture/finger tap command to turn voiceover on and off as there is on the iPhone? Is there a way to silence and activate voice mode using a gesture as well? For example, I turned on voiceover on my iPhone and pretty much keep it on all the time but don’t necessarily want the phone to talk and announce things all the time so I use the three finger double tap to turn voiceover on and off. Is there equivalent for the Apple Watch? Thanks so much for doing these videos for the visually impaired. It’s greatly appreciated.

      I actually already made that video a few years back. Just search for smart watch accessibility on UA-cam and you should find it. Soon I’ll be doing a comparison between the Apple Watch and the galaxy watch.

    Thinking of getting an Apple Watch from a well-known friend, who is also blind. It is going to be a back up for whenever my current watch dies, not Apple related by the way. Does the “water walk? “work well on the Apple Watch. How to get in and out of that mode, and how to automatically set it up.

      You can either do it through the watch app on your phone, or trigger Siri on the watch and ask her to turn it on.

    Thanks to Mike and also to you! I just kitted myself out with a bunch of Apple tech because I've reached my limit with Samsung. I'm at the point in vision loss that it's equally hard to learn how to do things the way I did before, or change to a totally different way like Apple. I'm getting the iphone 13 mini, the apple watch 7, air pod pro, and a base model ipad. You've already got me off to a great start even though nothing has been delivered yet. Thanks!

    What series of Apple Watch are you demoing? I recently purchased the Apple Watch seven and my menu doesn’t have voiceover on it and I would love to know how to change the little old lady voice that I’m seem to be stuck with lol never mind! I did some tinkering and figured it out! Thank you for reviewing the watch I didn’t realize it even had other voices!

    I'm super excited for haptic time, it's one of the main reasons I just bought an apple watch. So I will be able to tell the time discretely, with haptic feedback, during a meeting, onstage, etc, I will just double tap the watch face and it will vibrate the time on my wrist! It'll be the first time in six years I'll be able to tell the time without it shouting it for the whole room to hear, or having to use headphones

      @@hajaralbattah7812 Yep. It's active. Turn it on in settings, there's some settings in general, some in clock settings, and some in accessibility, or something like that, you have to dig around to find them all.
      If you are using voiceover, to get the time vibrated, when the watch screen is off, double tap the watch face. In the default mode it vibrates long for the tens, and short for the ones. So 11:13 would be long short. pause long short short short. But you can adjust how it vibrates the time. It's awesome and I love it

    Would be nice if you could bluetooth pair it to a Garmin Edge GPS, (problem with the Garmn is the screen/directions) are too small to see.. If the watch could be paired , and have an Left/Right indicator on the screen, it would be good for those who have long vision and can't see the GPS close up..

    Hey Sam!
    I awesome video Sam! The Apple Watch is definitely something that’s on my radar to get one day. Do you know what Apple Watch version that is!
    Also if you had to choose between the Sunu Band for the Apple Watch, which one is better? Could you actually wear both of them simultaneously? Or would you have to choose one or the other?

    • @theblindlife
      @theblindlife  3 роки тому +1

      I’m using the Apple Watch SE. Yes, you could totally wear the Sue new band and Apple Watch together at the same time. You were just wear them on opposite wrists. They do completely different things so it’s not really a fair comparison between the two.
