I’ve always been impressed with Apple’s commitment to accessibility. The idea that tools should work for anyone who wants to use them, no matter the physical obstacles they may face, is one that Apple has acknowledged since my earliest days as a fan. Accessibility is a fundamental right, and it’s great to see companies like Apple (and others) prioritize that right so that almost anyone who wants to can use their devices.
This chapter explores the accessibility options watchOS affords users. It’s my hope that you’ll find something in the following pages to greatly enhance your Apple Watch experience.
