Apple watch Voiceover Verbiage

watchOS and Apple Watch Apps

Hi,

Can anyone tell me, after upgrading to watch OS11 have apple cut out a lot of the Voiceover verbiage introduced since watchos9.
For example the weather complication behaviour used to work something like when you touched the watch face (mine being the modular face) you heard something like local weather 16 degrees and cloudy. Swipe right and you heard the next hours predicted forecast so you would hear 10.00 17 degrees cloudy, swipe right again and you heard 11.00 18 degrees partly cloudy etc. Now you touch the complication and you hear conditions currently 20 degrees and rainy 19 degrees and cloudy at 16 18 degrees and cloudy at 17 etc all spoken in one long continuous string of text.
Similar in the activity app, now when I go in to the weekly summary I might hear as one long string of text 1st October at 00.00 till 2nd October at 00.00 move xxx you swipe right and hear from 2nd Oct at 00.00 till 3rd October at 00.00 move xxx etc. This happens in all three screens whether move, exercise or stand. It’s like reading war and peace.
Honestly if they haven’t I think after 9 years I’ll be giving up my watch.

Thanks as always for any advice/help proffered.

Best

Graham
