Hi Sam my name isbedouens Philistin and I am visually impaired. Now I know my name is hard to say so people usually call me bedrock. Now the reason why I am putting this in the comments is because I'm using my phone right now and I can't see anything else to email you I don't know YouTube that well on my phone on the laptop is another case anyways I digress my plan four years from now is to move to California why because I have my own YouTube channel of course and I plan on being a huge successful Entertainer in my future and California is the place to do so or so I believe but I just have one issue I don't know how it would be living in California if I am usually in. I hear that it's hard enough with people who are cited but I'm visually impaired so I don't know if I can move to California in my 19 years of living I haven't allowed my visual impairment to stop me from doing what I want but this time it may stop me from moving to California and accomplishing my dreams I do not want this to happen please reach out to me and help me if you can I'm so desperate that I'm going to leave my cell number right here because again I'm on my phone and I cannot see anyting due to the smaller screen I'm using the voice thing on my phone right now to text you please message me call me I need help my number is 610-848-8200 I know that's a big move to do big move to make but help me out I subscribe to your channel and I'll be waiting thank you Sam you're my only hope I think
Thank you so much for listening to my suggestion
How much rupees of this Android watch?
I thought it was neat that the watch gave us timestamps throughout the video
I was thinking about getting one of these, but wasnt sure how useful it would be for me. I'm not allowed to have electronics on the floor at work and something that talks wouldn't fly haha. I'm not even allowed to use my electronic magnifier
Great video Sam
A question regarding Samsung. Doesn't Samsung use it's own Apps. Not Android/Google App's? and if this is so then what are Samsung accessibility App's like? How do they Compair and are there as many as Android/Google and Apple?
I'm curious how that vibration setting works to tell the time. Does it just vibrate once per hour/minute? Like if it's 12:59 it would vibrate 12 and 59 times?
For those wondering, I tried WearOS on the ZTE Quartz about a year ago. It was completely unusable. Talkback was slow and broken and horrible. I guess Google's definition of "experimental" is "completely useless".
HEY SAM,
AWESOME WATCH!! THANKS FOR ANSWERING THE APPLE QUESTION, BUT I HAVE ANOTHER. COULD YOU DO A APPLE WATCH VIDEO LIKE YOU DID THIS ONE OR POINT ME IN THE DIRECTION OF MAYBE DEREK DOING ONE? THANKS .
GREAT VIDEO SAM AND THANK YOU. OH AND BY THE WAY, I HAVE TURNED TO THE DARKSIDE. I FINALLY GOT ME A APPLE PHONE. IT IS MY FIRST ONE AND CAN'T WAIT TO PLAY WITH IT AND LEARN ALL THE COOL STUFF IT CAN DO FOR US VIP'S !!!
Hey Sam I forgot to tell you about a program for the watch called Get There. It interacts with Google Maps and will really help while walking places. I use Aftershocz bone conduction Bluetooth headset Get there will put the notifications on your watch such as a large right turn arrow 150 feet. I use the larger Galaxy Watch 46mm but the features are pretty much the same. There app is available in the Play Store. 73 de Chris NO7E
Are all android watches accessible for visually impaired?
How do you charge an android watch? And do you know if there’s a way to enable an Apple Watch so the Apple Watch speak to caller ID automatically? Great video?
I use bright bold uncluttered watch faces. I also keep the brightness all the way up
Thank you! I'm actually thinking about getting this exact watch, so this was perfect timing! I would have loved to hear/see more of how it works with notifications such as email and text messages. How does voice over work with apps that are not native to the Samsung ecosystem like WatsApp, Facebook or Twitter for instance? Thanks so much!
Great. Very detailed explanation. I am a happy IPhone user, but if I wanted to explore Android, what phone would you recommend?
That is a good smart watch. For accessibility It's just like the Apple watch.
Thanks Sam. She's it have navigation assist for maps? Heard that the Apple watch has vibrations to help navigate around.
Sooo, this isnt a phone ????
I don't know. Maybe this dog is too old, but it seems like over kill to me, I mean why not just use your phone? I have a talking watch that cost like $10 . Good enough for me.
Thanks great video. Can I use Bixby on the watch?
I want this watch now that you just showed me. It would work perfectly for me.
I will have the orcam camera to show me the time however I'm not intending on wearing that 24 hours a day. So this watch would work perfectly.
Thank you for yet another awesome review. Did not know the accessibility was that good on smart watches.
awesome info great demonstration thank you
Belated birthday present?
Hey Sam, have you tried the triple tap and hold with one finger and ding your finger around while still holding onto the screen? Does it work on the watch? That might be easier than trying to pan around with two fingers. ☺️
