Practical uses for the Apple Watch for People Who are Blind or Visually Impaired

[@karinlawrence6500]

Until now I wasn't really interested in an apple watch - thanks Cory, I can see that it would be way more useful than I thought!

They may even be on sale during Black Friday...

The most useful thing I find in Apple Watch is that as a Voiceover user I can turn on screen curtain, so that no one is able to stick their nose and check what it says on the screen. It is really hard to explain, but forr some reason sighted people are often trying to be ‘helpful’ by watching over my shoulder and telling me what is on my screen before I figure this out myself. Somehow they believe it is nice of them, while I think it is quite rude…

That's a great point!

I love adding items to my shopping list using Siri and checking the current temperature in the morning, along with notifications for various apps. I love my Apple Watch.

Love that!

Great video lol as a lover of watches, I also have the regular talking atomic watch as well. I have two of them and one is smaller and one is bigger. I actually switched out of my smart watch to use my atomic watch. It actually goes with the phone and does not go with the clock in Colorado. It actually relies on the phone to send it which is very interesting. Well anyway, I do have a couple of Apple watches as well. I do use my series 10 for sleep tracking and every day use along with my other talking watches the ultra two is the one I used for work because it is rugged big and beefy and I love a big watch on my wrist. I have something about wearing a huge watch I love watches anyway the benefits of a smart watch are so far and Beyond, but what you said was the digital crown is used to bring up Apple Pay it’s actually the power button you click the power button on the side twice Very quickly and that will bring up your bank card. The regular talking watch is great as well if you want to use that if you don’t want notifications, which actually I switched out of my Apple Watch, which I have been using all day texting receiving messages at work and I switched to a regular talking atomic watch now I’m at home just unwinding for the day. Then tonight when I go to sleep, I will change out of my atomic talking watch put my Apple Watch series turn on, and I will sleep with it as I will sleep track the cool thing about the smart watch versus other watches is that you can sleep track health benefits, paying for everything if you want on Apple Pay also, you can actually have it. Wake you up in the morning without hearing your phone. It will pulse you Whereas the talking watch doesn’t have the benefit of that. It will wake you up, but you have to put it close to you and if you wear it, it might be a little uncomfortable at night plus the regular talking watches don’t have sleep tracking anyways I do think that talking watches are great. The problem with the talking watch though is that they are not waterproof or water resistant like your smart watches you can actually put your smart watch in the water and you will have no problem. You have an eject Sound to blow the water out of the speaker but on your talking watch you have to be kind of careful so you don’t get water in the speakers.

I absolutely absolutely love my Apple Watch my favorite thing to do on my Watch is the log that I took my medication so I can go back on there and look make sure I didn’t skip anything. I also like to talk on the phone it makes me feel like I’m doing something cool like inspector or something L O L thanks for this video it was

[@VisionForwardTechConnect]

It does still feel futuristic to talk on your watch!

Having ADHD it works really well for setting timers and time lapses. Plus, I have my DexCom continuous glucose monitoring as one of my complications. 16:28

[@VisionForwardTechConnect]

I never thought about the applications for ADHD, very interesting.

[@hawkeye22049]

I found your video quite interesting, especially about the Voice Memos. I didn’t know that but I like to keep track of my activities. I like to have the weather app so I have the current temperature and I have found the Apple Watch extremely motivating to keep myself more healthy, and it reminds me to get up and move every hour so and stand and exercise and all that good stuff

[@VisionForwardTechConnect]

Glad you're finding some good uses for the watch!

[@natalieconinx7089]

That’s cool!! But I am deaf blind (I am not fully blind, just have vision issues) that made me think of Apple Watch Ultra 2 because of it has big screen that I can see better.

[@dianebrown5914]

I have just got an Apple Watch from my friend. and I love it. I like the Luna and the World Clock faces. Also I like the Doubble Tap the screen and get the haptic time.

[@VisionForwardTechConnect]

Awesome! Sounds like a nice friend you have!

7:09 Use Side button to launch Apple Wallet, rather than digital crown. 7:10

[@AnimalLovers-g7d]

Wonderful review, thank you. Are there maps or haptic navigation options, like WayBand or Sunu ?

[@VisionForwardTechConnect]

Yes, when you are using the Maps app to get directions the watch will vibrate when you need to turn, and will vibrate on the side that you need to turn on.

[@Pierceb2]

Thanks, you tips will be very useful to me,

[@VisionForwardTechConnect]

[@RamnunmawiaVangchia]

Could i use apple watch without having I phone?

[@VisionForwardTechConnect]

You'll need a iPhone to set it up at least but after that then no.
