Hi, I have subscribed to Audible for about 12 years. I love some of the recordings I can get there but not on BARD, such as Neil Gaiman reading his own works and the fabulous full-cast recording of Dracula. I love that you can get some wonderful dramatizations, such as the BBC production of HIt

Hi, Wait a good 2 or 3 minutes before trying to do anything with the watch once you start the boot-up process. It takes a long time to restart. If Voiceover still isn't running, try the triple-click of the digital crown option if you've set that up, or ask Siri to turn on VoiceOver. Or use the
