Hi Jonathan, Sorry to hear about your fall. The watch is a very nice Chanukah present.
The time feature you mentioned is taptic time. In other words, instead of VoiceOver speaking the time, just do a one-finger double tap on the face. try to do it closer to the top of the screen. Here’s how to set it up. On your watch or iPhone, go to Clock. Flick right to Taptic Time and activate the toggle button, if it is not already on. On the new screen choose how you want apple Watch to tell time. There are three options. I use the Digits option. VoiceOver will explain each option. Your watch will mirror your iPhone regarding notifications. Make sure Notifications is activated on your watch. You can do this from the Watch app on your iPhone or or directly on your watch. Hope this makes sense.
