Hi Mark,
This also happens to me. I have a series 1 watch and IPhone 7. It has
happened with both music and voice dream.
If I tap my watch, I hear IPhone and then the title of book or song that's
playing.
I'm hoping to order the series 2 if the price comes down a bit.
Take care,
Lois

Hello Greg,
Wow! Really?
Which app are you using to play your audio book? Is that particular app
installed on your watch?
After reading your post, I immediately began playback of an audiobook in my
iBooks app on my 6 Plus running 10.33. While the book was playing, I
touched my Series 2 watch which is running Watch OS 3, in order to wake it
up. Doing this did not result in a now playing screen on my watch.
Perhaps another Watch OS 4 user could try to reproduce your findings. If
they cannot, then your problem may simply be the result of a software
setting.
Mark

Hello,
My only issue right now is that if I am playing something like a book on my
phone, the now playing screen comes up whenever I wake my watch. This is
beginning to be very annoying when I want to quickly hear the time.
Regards,
Greg Wocher

Hi Sieghard,
Pedometer++ and, I assume, the ones Mark mentioned can show your step
count as a complication on your screen. It doesn't gather data, it just
displays it, but normally I would have to go into the Activity app to get
the info.
Best,
Anna

Just out of curiocity, why do you guys use third party apps when the
Apple Watch already shows steps?

Hi Mark and Sieghard,
I also haven't experienced problems with VoiceOver other than the watch
locking more often while I'm doing things. I'm hoping that some of this
is the result of using a first generation watch; I'm getting a new one
tomorrow, so I'll know better about that shortly.
I don't use the apps you mentioned, but Pedometer++ is tracking steps
just fine.
Best,
Anna

Hi Mark,
I didn't even know about "digital crown navigation", but I just tried it
and it turned on and seems to work fine.
I think battery life is bettr in iOS 4 (I also have a series 2).
I updated when the update came out in the evening and left my watch
charging over night. I took it off the charger at 6:30 AM and while I
didn't use it much throughout the day when I checked it around 4 or 4:30
PM my battery was still at 94%. I thought 6% in 10 hours is not bad even
if it's mostly standby.
Only thing I find and this did happen before so I'm not sure if it's
worse or less so is that sometimes the watch seems to lock for no
particular reason even if you are doing something. Sometimes when I
press the digital crown it reads the time and locks almost instantly
before you can even do anything else other times it's almost like it
locks when you just did a tap or swipe.
Regards,
Sieghard

Subject: A Question for Those Who Have Updated to Watch OS 4 from Watch
OS 3
Hello Everyone,
Perhaps I should have discerned this by now, after all the messages
posted in recent days but, alas, I have not; so, I'm just going to ask:
Are there any VoiceOver problems in Watch OS 4 that were not in Watch OS
3?
Any reason why you wish you had not yet updated?
I am thinking I'm ready to update my Series 2 but, I want to make
certain I know what I'm in for, so to speak.
I would be interested to learn if any of you are using either the Duffy
and/or Fitport step-counter apps on your watches and, if so, do they
continue to function as expected?
Finally, one of my favorite accessibility features of Watch OS 2 is the
Digital Crown Navigation option. This option can be toggled on/off with
a 2-finger, triple-tap. Is this option still available in Watch OS 4?
All replies greatly appreciated.
Mark
