Content preview from Apple Watch For Seniors For Dummies

Introduction

Apple Watch is fast becoming a cultural icon in the same vein as other Apple hits, such as iPhone and AirPods. As far as smartwatches are concerned, Apple Watch has no equal and, frankly, not even a close second. More and more folks are adorning their wrists with them every day. Apple Watch is easy to use, works seamlessly with other Apple products, and just plain looks good.

I’ve used Apple Watch since its first iteration (I can honestly say I got one of the first off the assembly line), and have been a satisfied customer ever since. In this book, I share my expertise with you, to help get you up to speed quickly and discover all the features your Apple Watch has to offer.

About This Book

Like other For Seniors For Dummies books I’ve authored, this one is written for the mature folks among us. People who may be somewhat new to using a smartwatch and want to find out just what these little wonders can do. From turning on and charging your Apple Watch, to customizing watch faces, syncing content with your iPhone, connecting to a Wi-Fi network, holding voice and text conversations, checking email, finding your way around town, and more, Apple Watch For Seniors For Dummies tries to cover it all. In writing this book, I made it my mission to consider the types of activities that would interest someone who is 50 years old or older (as I am) and donning an Apple Watch for the first time.
