![]() ![]() Even when that is not the case I don't have a whole load of catching up to do when I finish teaching and am back doing my job as head of faculty. Because I am in senior management it is, very occasionally, unavoidable that I respond to such messages immediately. If I'm teaching, I nevertheless very much like the Outlook previews my watch gives me of the emails I am receiving. Input and output are inextricably linked. Ultimately, it doesn't really matter, I would suggest. A vibration on the wrist is a much gentler way to be woken up than a loud sound, lol. There are some tweaks I’d like to make to that, but for the most part it works well. The other thing I use it for is fitness and workouts. Holding your wrist out in front of you for extended periods of time is not fun to me. Similarly I recall that Twitter app, Chirp, and could not for the life of me understand why people wanted to read Twitter on their watch. ![]() Is it really such a hassle to reach for the phone. Unless my phone is far away, which for me is rarely the case, I don’t see the attraction of responding on the Watch. I glance at it for info like time, step counts, weather etc, and I love receiving notifications simply as a vibration on my wrist.īut if it’s a message that I want to reply to, I find it’s quicker, easier and less painful to take my phone out and use that. I must admit I am closer to Oliver’s point of view on this one, though I’m not sure the limitations are entirely related to being VoiceOver users.įor me the watch is very definitely an output device. It's, sad to say, not really a device for us, at least, not like the iPhone is. Our interaction with the watch, as blind people, is far more awkward, always requiring both hands whereas sighted counterparts can just glance. I'd personally like an Apple Loop with no screen just monitoring my vitals and vibrating with notifications. The consequence is that, not only is the keyboard very fiddly but laggy too. It's the compromise, performance or battery, can't have both. As far as I understand it, the 7, 8 and ultra are all running on the same chip, give or take. the chip in all the watches is pretty slow, especially with voiceover on. I'd say it's an output device rather than an input. I've turned off the cell aspect of it as it was £5 a month for something I simply never used. I don't use my watch for anything but fitness (occasiaonnl), and notifications. There is double tapping too, of course, but I do find that this doesn't work so well as targeting the key on the second tap is very difficult. ![]()
