Hi,

Anna Dresner has an excellent book on learning the Apple Watch. It is available 
from National Braille Press. Also, Mystic Access has an excellent Apple Watch 
tutorial done by Lisa Salinger.

Hi, inorder to work with AirPods with your Apple Wotch, go with 
control center with swipe with 2 fingers, find the AirPlay button and choose 
your AirPods. Sometimes Apple Wotch should be detected auttomaticaly but it 
doesn't works always.

Hello Donna,

You're quite welcome.  

Do not be too hard on yourself where the connection of Apple Watch to AirPods 
is concerned.  Apple still has some compatibility tweaking to do, where they 
are concerned.  Give it a little time.

I realize that you want to use your Apple Watch during your exercise routine 
with AirPods, however, in the meantime, your iPhone will work just fine as an 
exercise tool, in conjunction with Airpods and Apple Watch.  

Donna, for the best results, you really need to get to know almost every aspect 
of how VoiceOver works with Apple Watch.  So, explore everything.  I'm not 
necessarily referring to the many different watch faces but, rather, all of the 
settings and configuration options available to you.  

Learn, for example, how to install and remove apps from the watch so that you 
can do it with confidence.  

Also, understand that where you place a third-party Complication, on a watch 
face, may vary the data it displays.  

Once you have mastered this, you may consider installing a variety of 
third-party apps that can help you better track your exercise routine.  

For example, my preferred step counter is FitPort.  However, another popular 
step counter is Pedometer++.  Still another highly recommended step counting 
app is Duffy.

As for me, I prefer not to have any music on my Apple Watch for several reasons 
the primary of which is the conservation of Apple Watch battery power.  

So, for example, before any predetermined exercise routine, I make certain that 
FitPort is launched on the watch then I engage music on my iPHone as I begin to 
exercise.  

Of course, there is also the workout app that is extremely accessible and very 
popular.  Personally, however, I find it a bit too cumbersome to use early in 
the morning when I begin to exercise.  

For me, I prefer to track my steps throughout the day.  

It's a good idea to get extremely familiar with all aspects of the Health app, 
on your iPHone as many third-party apps will use the Health app to store and in 
some cases, read and write updated data.

Just give yourself some time and it will all begin to make sense.

Right, it's only Apple's own Airpods which work worse than any other bluetooth

Except if you use it for swimming, then make sure you don't forget to turn off 
crown navigation  or else you can't get the watch out of water lock unless you 
turn off Voiceover first.

Hello Donna,

Congratulations on your new Apple Watch.

I'm not certain if John covered this in this thread but I strongly suggest that 
you enable Digital Crown Navigation.  When the watch is awake, two-finger, 
triple-tap the display in order to toggle this feature on and off.  When 
Digital Crown Navigation is enabled, you can use the Digital Crown, (the knob 
located adjacent to the long button on the side of the device, to navigate 
around the display area, as opposed to using swipe gestures or the 
explore-by-touch method, in order to locate various complications.

 I think the modular watch face is the best one for beginners.  

Finally, almost all of the major configuration of the watch can be done from 
the Watch app, located on the iPhone.

Mark

five or six attempts.

RE: My first Apple Watch – series 3

[M. Taylor]

Hello Donna,

Congratulations on your new Apple Watch.

I'm not certain if John covered this in this thread but I strongly suggest that 
you enable Digital Crown Navigation.  When the watch is awake, two-finger, 
triple-tap the display in order to toggle this feature on and off.  When 
Digital Crown Navigation is enabled, you can use the Digital Crown, (the knob 
located adjacent to the long button on the side of the device, to navigate 
around the display area, as opposed to using swipe gestures or the 
explore-by-touch method, in order to locate various complications.

 I think the modular watch face is the best one for beginners.  

Finally, almost all of the major configuration of the watch can be done from 
the Watch app, located on the iPhone.

Mark

Thanks, John, really appreciate your help.

Now I am easily able to find a notification Center, as well as the control 
center.  Is there a quick way to also see how much battery life is remaining? 
That would be really helpful as well.

Guess I will have to keep working on. My air pots. I will try again, ensuring 
that my iPhone is, either off, or know where in range of the watch.

Again, thanks a bunch.

Re: My first Apple Watch – series 3

[John Panarese]

Hello,
The notification center for the Apple Watch can easily be reached from the 
main screen by flicking up or down with one finger until you hear, 
notifications. Double tap with one finger and you'll be able to view all of 
your notifications. 

I have paired my Air Pods, though it wasn't as easily as it is made to 
sound to occur. You have to be sure your other Apple Devices are not in range 
or the Phone, for example, will offer the pairing request. In my case, after 
some effort, it just seemed that the watch suddenly started working with the 
Air Pods. I put the case against the watch, took the air pods  out of their 
case and put them on. They just started to work, but this happened after a good 
five or six attempts. 

Take Care

My first Apple Watch – series 3

[Donna Neff]

Hi everyone,

If anyone can answer any of the questions I have concerning the Apple Watch, 
series 3 (which I just purchased) I would greatly appreciate it. Overall, I am 
thrilled with my new acquisition but I could sure use a little help getting 
started.

The first question I have is does anyone know of a quick way to get to the 
notifications when they come in? It takes me a while to find where to swipe and 
sometimes I get so frustrated that I tap the crown to go back and start over to 
look for the alert.

My second question concerns Uber. Is there anyway to order an Uber ride from 
the Apple Watch, instead of the iPhone? I saw that I could order a ride but 
there was no place, or at least I couldn’t find it, where the frequent 
destinations I use are listed.

My third question, and I will stop with this one, is how do I pair my AirPods 
with the Apple Watch? I’ve tried the usual method of going into settings, 
selecting Bluetooth in pairing, but didn’t have any success. I would like to be 
able to listen to music on my I watch while I am on the treadmill or on a brisk 
walk. I thought sure the AirPods would work and pair easily.

I hope that isn’t too many questions for one post. Any help, thoughts, or 
suggestions will be gratefully received and very much appreciated.

Donna
