You don't have to disable "raise to wake" to have the haptic time work properly .. and you can raise the watch and ask a question .. not sure why others are saying that you have to disable this. On the haptic time, it does work better on the newer watches .. but even on my series 3 it would work properly the majority of the time.

My sighted coworker is singing the praises of Apple watch. Part of what makes it such a hit in her world is the raise to wake feature and then being able to immediately ask a question hand free. Sounds like that is out the window for Voiceover users, but maybe we have some fun features, too. I'll read the AppleVis articles I can find and go into the Apple store to see one in action. Good to know that the processor speed is significantly better on the newer ones. I will avoid the earlier editions. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Monday, October 21, 2019 8:18 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: considering Apple watch Which series of watch do you have? I find on my new fifth generation watch it's very rare that haptic time does not work if I make sure to give it the 2 or 3 taps required (depending on whether I want hours included or not) nice and deliberately and of course you have to make sure you disable raise to wake and all that stuff. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Ann Byrne Sent: Monday, October 21, 2019 4:55 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: considering Apple watch I don't like my Apple watch because it doesn't reliably tell the time without speaking. It may be operator error, but I have tried repeatedly to make haptic time work ... and sometimes it does. However, often the watch speaks the time instead of vibrating it. I sometimes wear my Seiko Braille watch because I can count on it to be silent. and my phone gives me all the messages and news headlines that I want. One setting I have enabled is supposed to make the watch stop talking when you place your palm over it. Mine seems to feel it has to finish the thought before it will stop, palm over or not. However. The Apple watch includes exercise goal setting that I don't have otherwise--how many hours I stood for at least a minute, how many minutes I actually exercised ... current heart rate, heart rate min and max at six hour intervals. I'm old, so I like to track that once in a while. -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
