Description

Features and Benefits  of the Apple Watch This document is all about the Apple Watch, what things you or I may use it for, and some tips along the way.As I am a VoiceOver user, you can pretty much assume I’m going to be referencing and or using VoiceOver all the time smile. Enjoy. David Woodbridge Choose from the Apple Watch S3 (WiFi  only), SE or S6 cellular or WiFi (SE no blood oxygen sensor). Overall the main physical difference between the Apple Watch S3 and the newer models besides the screen size etc, is the rectangular Side button, which is located next to the round Digital Crown (in old terms the winder) on the right side of the watch. On the S3 it feels like a normal button, whilst the newer models have the Side button flush to the case. On the opposite side to the Side button and Digital Crown, you have the speaker and microphone. If you are on an S3 and thinking about updating, the performance difference is remarkable with Siri, Voiceover, apps loading etc. Change your own Watch bands to feel stylish, and more importantly, it is very easy to slip off and on watch bands when ever you feel like it. If you turn the Apple Watch over, on the back, just in front of where the left and right sides of the band connect, there is an indented rectangular button, press this in and then slide the band to either side of the watch to remove either side.To put a watch band on, the connectors that slide in to the watch have a pop-up button in the middle, have this facing up as you slide the connecter in to the slot on the side of the watch, when the connecter is all the way in to the slot, the pop-up button will engage and lock the band in place. Check out what Watch bands are available in the Apple Store app on the iPhone.My favourite bands are the Link Bracelet,Leather loop, and the nylon hook and loop band.   If you have watch bands from the S1, 2 or S3, these bands will still fit the S4, 5, S6 or Se: i.e. 38mm-42mm or 40mm-44mm. Apple Watch SE and S6 give you all day coverage, and you can fast charge for an hour to get a bit more juice when you need it. If the Apple Watch is off, hold in the Side button for 2 seconds then release.If the Apple Watch is on, turn it off by holding in the Side button, Power Off screen will appear, and choose Turn Off.In this Power Off screen, there is also Medical ID, and Emergency SOS.Note - when the battery of the Apple Watch gets low, in the Power Off screen you can also choose Power Saving mode, this does not work with voiceOver as everything is turned off besides just the time.If you accidntally turn on Power Saving mode, press and hold the Side button to exit.Note - if you can’t see and you are wondering whether the Apple Watch is turning on, use the Seeing AI app from Microsoft on your iPhone, choose the Light channel, rest the camera on top of the Apple Watch screen, and then as it starts up it will recognise light coming from the screen.Usually the Apple Watch has a good amount of charge when you first get it. Setup of the Apple Watch is done within the Watch app of the iPhone and all functions within the app are fully accessible.With an initial setup of an Apple Watch, you have to aline the stars on the Apple Watch face with a coloured square on the iPhone screen within the Watch app, if you can’t do this, you can also do this part manually where you type in a Apple Watch ID pairing number. Remember that whilst a number of options within the Watch app are mirrored on the Apple Watch where you can also make changes, you have much more finite control in the Watch app.  For example, choosing different watch faces within the Watch app along with a description of the actual watch face. If you have more than one Apple Watch, you can setup auto switching within the Watch app so that when you put another Apple Watch on, it will automatically activate. When you place the Apple Watch on the charger, you will hear a tone, and VoiceOver announce charging, and perhaps bedside mode. When you are charging
