Hi, I haven't been told of any specific issues, just something about the screen reader itself (not the voices) being "broken". I think this may have been in relation to series 6, so I'd just like to see if blind users are still using the Apple Watch with the screen reader running in the present day, to confirm that it will be OK. I have also heard that there are new hand gestures with the watch in OS 8. Do these work OK with the voice running?
Sorry everyone, I didn't realise that the watch was being released on 15 October all over the world. I live in the Southern Hemisphere so thought that people in the US and elsewhere might have been able to get it first. My apologies for the misunderstanding.
