Hi Mark, Thanks a lot for the tip to activate crown navigation. As soon as I read your post, I followed your instructions and started scrolling with the crown. I do like it better than tapping and touching.
Unfortunately, I still haven’t conquered pairing the AirPods with the Apple Watch. I am not giving up, though. Somehow, someway, someday, I will make these two devices connect via Bluetooth. Again, thanks so much for taking the time to help. Donna Sent from my iPhone > On May 9, 2018, at 4:03 PM, M.
