I assume if you started music playing before on a Bluetooth headset and then turned on waterlock it would continue, never tried it because I have yet to find a waterproof headset I liked. As for Voiceover, no, with waterlock on the screen is locked so you have to press and hold the crow to remove the waterlock first before you can get anything out of Voiceover. If the watch is wet and you have wet hands touch gestures are also a bit more hit and miss so often I wipe my watch on my bathing trunks even though they are also wet, but at least it removes any water droplets and if you then blow across the display for a second or two, it does at least make it a little better. I haven’t yet really spend any time with a sighted person to ask what sort of information they see with waterlock on, but I assume they can see the workout screen just fine showing them how many lanes they did and all that. they

Can you still listen to music if you wanted to On Sep 10, 2024, at 2:59 AM, Sieghard Weitzel <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Yes, and I find it very ridiculous that Apple does not allow for basic Voiceover output when waterlock is on. In fact, even my Apple Watch Ultra 2 at 100% volume is not loud enough where I can really hear the details when I do a pool swim even if it’s only moderately noisy in the pool. I actually had ordered a bone conduduction headset similar to an Aftershokz which is waterproof from Amazon, but it just did not have a good fit and I returned it immediately. I saw that Shokz also makes a waterproof one which I think is called OpenSwim and I may just have to get that, of course the fact they have an “OpenCom”, an “OpenRun” and an “OpenSwim” is purely marketing, they just should make one version which is waterproof and be done with it. And just for anybody who is interested, another pet peeve of mine is the fact that when I do a pool swim the app always counts one lane short, e.g. if I do 40 laps it counts 39, but of course I know I have done 40 because I end up on the same side of the pool where I started which means it has to be an even number. We only have half an Olympic size pool with 25 meter lanes so if I start on the shallow end and swim down to the deep end that is my first lane, then I swim back to the shallow end and that is #2, I usually swim 1 Km which means I do 40 lanes or 20 times back and forth, but when I get back after the last one and then stop the work out it shows me that I did 39 lanes.

It is designed for swimmers who want to track their activity. When you get out of the water, they say to dry it off before unlocking the water lock status. Richard, USA "INTROVERTS UNITE ...

I was very surprised that unless I am missing something, the only “upgrade” to the Apple Watch Ultra 2 is a few new colour options; I was expecting an Apple Watch Ultra 3 and I am very happy that my Ultra 2 I bought last year seems to still be the cutting edge. -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
