It’s 1:28 PM.

And I’ll flick up our screen with two fingers into our settings.

Settings. Connected.

Okay, the first glance that we encounter of course, like we said, is going to be our settings glance here, and this glance will have some of our most frequently used settings. Now the first item in our settings glance is a notification. That let’s us know if our Apple Watch is connected with our iPhone and as we heard, voiceover announced our watch is currently connected to our iPhone, so let’s just right flick through the settings glance to see the types of settings that we actually have control of here. Okay, so we’ll get back up and we’ll right flick again.

Connected.

And we’ll just right flick.

Airplane mode. Switch button. Off. Double tap to toggle setting. Swipe up or down to select a custom action, then double tap to activate.

Okay. Now this should look very familiar, because we’ll see the same airplane mode button in our control enter on our iPhone, and we could actually just single finger double tap to turn it on right here, and that’s pretty great.

It’s 1:30 PM.

Flick up to get back to our settings glance. And we’ll move on past our airplane mode here.

Do not disturb. Switch button. Off.

Okay, there’s our airplane mode.

Toggle setting. Swipe up or down to select a custom action, then double tap to activate.

Okay, and there is our do not disturb, which is really great. Now, in our Apple Watch app settings, we have the ability to set our Apple Watch to mirror our iPhone, so this means that when we turn on our do not disturb on, our watch that it automatically turns it on on our iPhone, so you know, you can see what a great feature that would be if you wanted a mute or turn that do not disturb on at the same time. Okay, so let’s just right flick from here, so we’ll wake it back up here.

Connected. Airplane mode.

We’ll pass through our do not disturb here.

Mute. Switch button. Off.

Okay, so here.

Double tap to toggle setting. Swipe up or down to select a custom action, then double tap to activate.

Siri loves, I mean, our watch loves to give all those hints. Okay, so here is our mute button. Now this is kind of nice if we wanted to mute all of our watch’s sounds. You know, this might be handy if we’re maybe in a meeting or maybe we’re at the movies. Now we’re all still, we’re going to feel all of our vibrations, or what Apple likes to call those tactic, or haptic feedback on our wrists. But all of our sounds, of course, are going to be muted. All right, so let’s check out our next item in our settings glance. So we will just right flick to it, of course, after we wake everything up again.

Connected.

We’ll flick past our mute button here.

Ping iPhone. Switch button. Off. Double tap to toggle setting. Swipe up or down to select a custom action, then double tap to activate.

Those hints always make me smile to hear, okay. So here we have our ping iPhone button, and I have actually used this feature a few times lately. If we activate this button, our iPhone will make a pinging sound. So maybe if it’s misplaced itself somewhere, we can actually find it. How great is that, right? And useful. All right. Okay, so how about we see how this works? We’ll just wake it up and we’ll single finger double tap to activate that ping button, so.

Connected.

Let me find the ping button here. There it is. And I’ll single finger double tap on it.

Double tap to tog—on.

And we’ll wake up the—[pinging noise] there you go. And got the iPhone pinging there. That’s pretty great. And it’s really useful, too, right? Okay, so we have one more item in our settings glance, and this is actually our third way of moving through our glances. This last item is an adjustable bar. So how about we just right flick to it to check it out, so we’ll wake our watch up here.

Connected.

And we’ll flick to it real quick. At the very bottom of our screen. Oh, that was it, actually, hang on.

Page 1 of 8

There it is.

Adjustable. Swipe up or down with one finger to adjust the value.

Okay, sorry about all that flicking, but here we are finally, on the adjustable bar at the bottom of our screen, and we heard voiceover announce that we’re on page 1 of 8. So we know that we have eight pages or glances that we need to move between or that we can move between. We also heard that we’re able to swipe up or down with one finger to be able to adjust the value. This means that if we flicked up with one finger, we’ll move forward through our glances, and if we flick down, of course, we will move backwards through our glances or our pages here.

It’s 1:35 PM.

And there’s Mickey, so we’ll just flick up to open our glance settings.

Connected.

And then we’ll just flick to the left with two fingers to move to our next glance here. All right.

Eighteen seconds.

Okay. And now we’re on our now playing glance, and that’ 18 seconds is actually how far I am into this song, because this is actually our player, and we also heard voiceover announce page two of eight there. Now, our now playing glance, like I said is actually a glance that we’ll use to control our music player on our iPhone, and I’ve actually used this quite a bit, as well. Because for the sake of time, we aren’t going to flick through all these screens of all of our glances here, but all we would have to do to get through them is just to right flick through them or left flick through them to completely check them out. All right, so how abut we move to our next glance? We’ll just touch our screen again, and we’re going to listen for this hint this time, and then we’ll just touch here, so we’ll just…

It’s 1:36 PM.

Back to our glances by flicking up.

Now playing.

It’s also good to know that it takes us to the last glance that we were in, too. So I’m going to touch here in the center.

Play button.

Got the play button there.

Swipe up or down to select a custom action, then double tap to activate.

Okay, so voiceover told us that we can swipe up or down, and we can just perform a single finger double tap. So let’s do that. We’ll just flick down here.

Next glance.

Okay. So voiceover announced next glance, so to move to our next glance, all we need to do is do a single finger double tap, so we’ll do just that, we’ll just single finger double tap.

60% battery remaining.

Oaky. So here we are on our battery level indicator glance. Now if we had wanted to move to our previous glance, we would’ve just flicked up and to hear voiceover announce previous glance. And then of course, we would have just done another single finger double tap to move to our previous glance there. All right, so let’s check out our third and final gesture for moving between glances. So we’ll just wake up our watch here and then we’ll just flick to the right to get to the bottom of our battery indicator glance here, and we’ll find this adjustable bar, so we’ll just wake up our watch.

60% battery remaining.

And we’ll just right flick down to this adjustable bar at the bottom. And we’ll flick again.

Page 3 of 8. Adjustable. Swipe up or down with one finger to adjust the value.

Okay. And as we heard, we can just flick up or down to move between our glances, so how about we just flick up to move to our next glance, and we’ll just flick up.

Page 4 of 8.

All right, super, and here we are on our weather glance. Let me touch it to make sure here.

55 degrees. Swipe up or down to select a custom action, then double tap to activate.

Okay, and as you can see, we are on our weather glance, and we can start getting those hints again if we touch the screen. You know, it really is great that we are given so many choices for being able to move between all of our gestures here. Now, like I said earlier, I tend to use the two-finger flick to the left or to the right to move through all of these glances. Just simply because it seems to be what works fastest for me. However, hey, I am all about some choices here, right?

It’s 1:41 PM.

And then we’ll just tap our digital crown once.

Home. Clock.

Okay. We’ve been placed on our clock app, and activating this, of course, would just take us right back to our clock or our watch face, so let’s just right flick a few times to check out this home screen, and we’ll just right flick.

Settings.

There’s our settings app.

Passbook.

Right flick again, there’s passbook, so I’ll right flick again.

Yelp.
Douglas Walker

Yelp.
Voiceover

Zillow.
Douglas Walker

There’s Zillow, so let’s right flick.
Voiceover

Workout.
Douglas Walker

That’s my workout app, so let’s left flick back to settings here. Good one to look at here.
Voiceover

Passbook. Settings.

And there’s our settings app. And so how about we just single finger double tap and open up our watch’s settings, and so we’ll do just that. We’ll single finger double tap.

Mute. Switch button. Off.

All right. So there we are. Hang on, let me make sure we’re in settings.

Settings.

And single finger double tap on it again here.

Settings. Sounds and haptics. Back button.

Okay, so we’re actually in one of the areas within our app, within our settings here. So this is kind of cool, ‘cause our settings app is open, so this is, we could, this is a good place that we would use our scrub gesture maybe to move back. There’s always going to be a back button in the top left hand corner there. We could interact with that scrub gesture, and then we wake it back up here.

Sounds and haptics. Back button.

I could just scrub and that would move me as you’ve heard back to our settings list here. So that’s really handy. All right, now we could just like our iPhone settings, we could just right flick, I’ll right flick.

Time.
Douglas Walker

There’s our time.
Voiceover

Airplane mode.

There’s airplane mode in our settings on our watch.

Bluetooth.

There’s our Bluetooth settings, and that’s actually how I’m going through my mixer, I’m going through a Bluetooth device there to run us through the mixer so you can hear the watch. All right, so right here on our watch, all right, it’s really just, a right and left flick through this to peruse through this. All right, so you can see our digital crown really does function much like the home button on our iPhone. Right, so pressing our digital crown twice will take us back to our last open application, and goodness, since our watch has fallen asleep, when we wake it again, we’ll no longer be in our settings app, so we can simply just double press our digital crown and since our settings was our last open application, we’ll be taken right back to it, so how about we try that? We just wake our watch, and then we’ll just press our digital crown twice. So let’s do that. We’ll just wake our watch here.

4 PM.
Douglas Walker

And then we’ll just press our digital crown twice.
Voiceover

Settings.

And there we go. Now pressing the digital crown twice is something I use a lot. I really do like the way it takes us right back to our last open application, so if we were in our weather app or any of our apps, it would take us right back to it, just like our iPhone. All right, so just like our iPhone, triple tapping our digital crown will toggle on or off whatever we set for our accessibility shortcut settings in our Apple Watch app. So this is really a quick way to be able to toggle on and off either voiceover or zoom. Okay, so let’s see how that works. We will just wake our watch and then we’ll triple press our digital crown, it’s like triple tapping our home button. We’ll triple press our digital crown here, so let me go ahead and wake our watch.

45 PM.
Douglas Walker

All right, and then we’ll triple tap our digital crown here.
Voiceover

Voiceover off.

And voiceover is now gone, right? You know, it really is nice to have all of our gestures, and the way all of our buttons function, it’s great having them kept so consistent across our iPhone and our Apple Watch. That really is nice. Okay, so let’s move on. First things first. It’s probably a good idea that we turn voiceover back on, right, so let’s do that. We’ll just triple press our digital crown.

Voiceover on.

All right.

Clock face. It’s 1:46 PM.

All right. Ah, we’re back in action now. All right, so well, let’s move on. Our digital crown has one more feature, and aside from allowing us to get to all of our apps, this is the feature I tend to use my digital crown for the most, and if we press and hold our digital crown, we activate our old friend Siri. Yes, we love Siri. Well, most of the time anyway, right? I actually love having access to Siri right from my watch. I am constantly using Siri to set up things like reminders or calendar events or timers and I have even used Siri to place a phone call, which is really great. You know, I’ve always used, also used it to give walking directions right from my watch, which is really nice. I am just a huge fan of Siri here.

Leo Bissenet.

I actually got an email right there, thanks Leo. I’ll look at that later. All right, so let’s turn on Crown navigation by doing a two-finger triple tap here.

Crown navigation on.

Okay, great. Now that our crown navigation is turned on, we’re able to simply just turn our digital crown to move between the items on our screen here, and we can do this. Now, instead of having to left and right flick between them, all we have to do is turn this crown navigation here. So how about let’s give it a try?

49 PM.
Douglas Walker

Okay, and we’ll push up with our finger just make sure it’s on the top.
Voiceover

It’s 1:49 PM.

So we’ll just push our digital crown up.

55 degrees.

Okay.
Voiceover

Double tap to open weather.
Douglas Walker

And there’s our weather that we saw earlier, so I’ll push the digital crown up again.

Unread notifications.

Roll it up.

Status bar item.

Notifications, now we have notifications, and we have a little indicator there. So I’ll roll it up again. Ooh. A little too far.

Unread notifications. Status bar. 57% battery power.

Okay, and if I push it up again, I get that top of list indicator that you just heard and I’ll push it again even, just so I can roll it towards me now and towards the bottom of the screen.

Next event. No more events.

Oaky, I don’t have any more events, like you saw earlier. So I’ll just roll it a little further and you see there’s the bottom of the screen there. You know, it really is as easy as that. Now, I have found using crown navigation to be very useful, especially when moving through a list of items, like maybe an email list or maybe our settings list that we saw earlier. Or even though moving through the apps that we were flicking through on our home screen earlier. Just remember that we’re able to toggle off our crown navigation again by using that same two-finger triple tap gesture tht we did earlier to turn it on.

It’s 1:52 PM.

And we’ll just press our communications button once here.

Friends. Kim.

And there’s Kim again. All right, so now that we’re in our friends list, were able to just right or left flick to move through our friends, so let’s just right and left flick a few times to see what this looks like. So we’ll right flick.
