Hi Allen, Jonathan has confirmed that the Apple watch does have full Voiceover support and if you Google this you can find some information about it. If you listen to the keynote apps for the Apple Watch are a big topic and there will be thousands in April when the watch is released and yes, people have to use the Apple Watch app on the iPhone to look for and get apps for the Apple Watch. Also, settings including accessibility settings are done via the Apple Watch app.
Whether you shell out $349 (the minimum for the smaller of the Apple Sport Watch) is of course up to you and a decision based on whether you need an Apple Watch. I think for many the "need" factor is more a "want" and "it's cool" factor. Apple of course makes it sound like people definitely would want an Apple Watch which of course is normal. If you want a nice band for the watch that will cost you another $50 minimum and I think you can easily spend $100 or $150 for the fancier bands and the stainless steel watch, the one they call actually "Apple Watch" will set you back a minimum fo $550 for the smaller version (38mm) and $599 for the larger (42mm) version and it goes to $1,050 and $1,100 respectively. You could of course sell your motorhome and get the Gold version which starts at ten thousand *smile*. Anyhow, Jonathan already said that he will buy one via his business since it is his business to be informed and write about it so if you subscribe to his Twitter feed or check his website you'll be able to read some good articles about how the accessibility is implemented and how it really works a little while after April 24. My guess is that it will work quite well, but I'm sure we will find out.

In the app is something interesting though. They are going to have an apple watch app store. I wonder what that's all about and, do we know if the Apple Watch will have Voice Over? Before I shell out $349 for a watch, I'd like to know about it's accessibility first and I recon you would too. Regards, Alan Teenagers; Tired of being harassed by your parents? Act now!!!!!
