You have the best tutorials. I really appreciate your delivery (easy to follow, straight to the point-- without distracting music or tangents). I hope you keep making these videos. They are very helpful for people of all ages.

Hi Ellen, I don’t have an Apple Watch yet. I wanted to watch your video to learn what I need to know if I get one. I found your video very informative. Thanks for your insight and knowledge. As always, Teresa

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

Thanks Teresa! I think you’d love an Apple Watch!

[@cissyrogers5605]

You are so welcome! I'm glad you found it helpful.

i don't have a watch yet but i still wanted to watch your video to learn. the way you instruct your viewers is very easy to follow and impressive. by the way, i appreciate that you set up chapters in this video. i'm sure that takes extra time but we appreciate that 👏🏽

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

Thanks Jav C. All of my new videos will have chapters unless they’re short videos.

Love the voice memos and find iPhone tips.

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

Thanks Blackberry Inn Yosemite!

I need to know about falling. What happens on my watch. What I need to do. Thanks.

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

When you fall the watch will call emergency services if there is no response from you within a certain timeframe and it has cellular or when your iPhone is within close proximity. If you aren’t hurt you just need to cancel the call on your watch.

I love the voice memos the best.

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

That’s one of my faves too Flossy!

Your message was helpful. Than

What a helpful video as usual. I did not know about automatic app install so I turned that off. Also, I like using the tip calculator and how you can add # of people to share the bill. I like the record function. I would have never thought to use my watch this way. Thanks

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

Thanks for the kind words Laura! The Apple Watch is an amazing device.

@@EllensTipsForiOSHere is my story with my Apple Watch. Fell on a narrow stone path in my yard as I was trying to navigate without stepping on my plants. Fell flat on my back, head hit paver wound up with a concussion. Watch went off (fall detected) and gave me choices on what to do including calling 911. I felt I was pretty much ok so didn’t want 911, but I was afraid to get up because I didn’t know if I had broke something. My hubby was down in the basement taking pictures with my phone so I used my watch to call him to help me. I was so glad to have my watch on! Thanks for all you do Ellen!

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

What an amazing story Laura! Glad to hear the Apple Watch did exactly what they say it does! I’m glad you were able to contact your husband. Hope you are doing well now. Thanks for sharing.

[@mbryars]

Excellent review and tips. In the tip on the dock I would have liked to see you go over how to change it between recent’s and favorites.

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

Thanks Mitch!! Sorry for missing that opportunity.

[@ernestkooistra1559]

Thanks!

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

You’re welcome Ernest!!

[@cindyw4278]

Awesome teaching. Planning on purchasing on just have to decide which one. I have a very slim or small wrist, any suggestions?

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

Hi Cindy! Thanks for the kind words. Great decision! You won’t be disappointed. The new Apple Watch will be out soon. I have a very small wrist as well. Go with the smaller size which right now is 40mm. If you don’t need all the bells and whistles the Watch SE is very affordable. If you want it all the Regular Apple Watch is the way to go. Check out the featuring Apples site to make your decision.

Very appreciate 🙏🙏

Thanks for watching Tarntip Plangsorn!

[@marilynjeanster]

OMG! This is just what I needed! I got my watch as a retirement gift and I have mostly been playing around with the faces. Thank you so much for your clear explanations. I guess my favorites include the emergency call, turning off automatic app install, and how to view the apps (grid or line).

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

Thanks for the kind words Marilyn! I’m glad you found the video useful!!

[@tringalef]

Ellen, Excellent tips as usual. I just received my series 8 watch and this was very helpful.

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

Thanks so much Frank! Hope you love your watch!

[@debreale5236]

Fantastic video, Ellen. I’ve been wanting to change my watch face and couldn’t remember how I’d done it before. Best tip? Probably the voice memo, but all of the tips were great! Thank you!

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

Thanks so much Deb! I appreciate you taking the time to watch!

[@pbsmol]

I appreciate that you take your time to educate us clearly and carefully while showing details on the screen. Many other tutorials are spoken so fast it’s hard to absorb it all. Thank you for your particular delivery method. I subscribed so I can learn so many things I have been missing.

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

Thanks pbsmol! Glad you found it useful!

[@JimmyWatches2102]

I wonder why you didn’t also explain that you can choose watch faces from the iPhone Watch app which is much easier? Also adding and placing Complications is a breeze on the iPhone Watch app.

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

Sorry about that James. I probably should have. Thanks for sharing the info for others.

[@JimmyWatches2102]

@@EllensTipsForiOS You’re still one of the best sources of clear, concise information on KZbin. I also love that you provide time stamps and a transcript for your videos. It makes it so much easier to work my way through the more challenging features you explain. Thank you for what you do from this 77 year old!

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

James, thanks for taking the time to comment and watch my videos! I appreciate it.

Love these videos❗ I'm learning some cool stuff. I gave my mother-in-law the link to the channel. She is struggling with her Apple Watch and emergency services. We practiced using the watch to say "Siri call _____" to call someone, I think she has that down. What about the other emergency/help services? I saw an Ellen video about Emergency SOS, I think she has that process down also. And also the fall detection one, that was great kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipjMapqJbtuHq9E. What about one video to put it all together (if you need an idea for a video?) "Communicating on your Apple Watch". Making a non-emergency call using voice or tapping, Making an emergency call/contacting 911 using voice or using the side button, quick response to a text using voice or tapping, And the one I would love to see... creating a watch face complication that runs a shortcut to call a specific person. (I think that one would require a tap and another tap, once it is setup) Thanks Again 🤜🤛

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

Thank you so much! I appreciate your support of the channel! I try to do basic videos for seniors to cover things they may need to know. Thank you for the suggestions.😊
