Ok my Apple folks, I have a lot of questions before Santa clause gives me the Apple Watch for Christmas!
So first of all, can i get the Rose gold Apple Watch even though I have space grey iPhone 5s?
Second of all, can I use the Apple Watch in the bath or in the water park?
Third of all, is reduce white point accessibility feature available on Apple Watch?
Fourth of all, is scribble feature available when replying to email?
Fifth of all,I have totally small wrist, so can the 42mm Apple Watch fit an 156 mm wrist?
Lastly, is the Apple Watch Sport band is the perfect band?
P.s. I'm in a budget, so should I get series 1?
P.s.s. I also have more questions. I also need to know if the Apple Watch is great to reply to messages and emails with ease while I'm in school, and if the Apple Watch is perfect for getting things done

I think you should go to an Apple store near you and compare all the Apple Watch models. I don't have an Apple Watch but I might be able to answer your questions. First of all, the Series 2 Apple Watch is swim proof. This means you can put the watch in 50 meters of water. Second of all, the only way you can figure out which Apple watch fits on your wrist is to try them all at the Apple store. Third of all, you can't use any of the Apple Watch models at the water park except for the series 2. Fourth of all, if you have enough vision you can find out which color is right for you. Fifth of all, you might want to try the scribble feature. It's kind of like the handwriting mode that VoiceOver supports on iOS. Or maybe there might be a watchOS keyboard, but I am not sure how a keyboard like that can fit on a small screen:) Lastly, the only way to know if the sport band is perfect for your wrist would be to try it on. One thing I want you to be cautious of when you first set up your Apple Watch is the new emergency sOS feature in watchOS 3. It can accidentally be activated by holding down the side button for 6 seconds. However, it can be disabled in the Watch app on your iPhone. Hope this helps and good luck!

Hi. I'm up to damn late, anyway here's what I have to tell you. First, You can have a red Iphone, blue, apple watch, white shirt, black pants, in other words color doesn't matter unless as you say you're sighted you want things to match. I tried on the 42mm Apple watch, I have a small wrist and it didn't feel to heavy. I wouldn't use the apple watch in the park or bath, as though it's resistent, you need to turn on the water lock feature before you do that huge dive into the water. ;) Personally I hated the sport band and i just looked at it a couple of days ago. The apple store app is where you can book an appointment. If you need more help, contact me off of here, and I'll do what I can. Hope this helps. bed for me.

Your answers will be inline.

first of all, can i get the Rose gold Apple Watch even though I have space grey iPhone 5s?

Answer: it should not matter, both models will be compatible. Accessibility will be good for both.

Second of all, can I use the Apple Watch in the bath or in the water park?

Answer: int eh series 2 apple watch you can. Turn on water proof mode and you should be good to go. You cannot though act on apps etc just check the time.

Third of all, is reduce white point accessibility feature available on Apple Watch?

Answer: I am not sure what that means, but you can look on your watch app on iOs to find out.

Fourth of all, is scribble feature available when replying to email?

Answer: it sure is. I've done it in text, twitter, and email.

Fifth of all,I have totally small wrist, so can the 42mm Apple Watch fit an 156 mm wrist?

Answer: Im' waring my 42 mm apple watch now it is very good.

Lastly, is the Apple Watch Sport band is the perfect band?

Answer: I bought the sports band but you might want to go with the meleneese loop band. You don't have to right away. The sports band is very good. What I do is I have the watch up on my fore arm as that's where I've always warn the watch.

P.s. I'm in a budget, so should I get series 1?

Answer: I would get series two. The GPS has helped me a lot in maps and travel. I'm trying to get in contact with the NE folks to see if they can work on a applet for NE that will give turn by turn on the watch wile the phone is in your pocket.

I still need more answers for my 2 more questions Apple folks. Please answer as soon as possible

By Apple Watch 454 on Thursday, November 24, 2016 - 06:01

Are you sure I need Apple Watch series 2 before I use it during bathtime, playing in the sprinklers or in the water park? Do I also need to avoid using certain kinds of band?

By Siobhan on Thursday, November 24, 2016 - 06:01

Yes, get Series 2, remember though you need to enable water Lock first. Once done, you will only be as someone said able to check the time. So you can't do the selfie before the huge water slide. Plus, I'm skeptical, about shoving my arm into a pool at the waterpark, only to maybe have it not work when I'm done. As for the band, we've told you, go look at them yourself. I don't like the sport band, though you might. So get off the interwebs, go into a store and either take the plunge or not. Just saying this is your decision you need to grab some courage and do it. I understand questions, but most of these, particulars you're asking you need to try yourself.

What will happen if you wear the Apple Watch series 1 in the bath or in the sprinklers? Will it make the touchscreen so unresponsive? Will it affect using the Digital Crown?

In reply to by Apple Watch 454

The Series 1 Apple Watch is not water proof or water resistant. This means that you can't put the watch in any water at all. That's why people are suggesting the Series 2 because it can go in to 50 meters of water.

By Siobhan on Thursday, November 24, 2016 - 06:01

Simple as subject line says, Fatima is right. Hope i got your name right, sorry about that. Series 2 or nothing.

By Apple Watch 454 on Saturday, December 24, 2016 - 06:01

I am concerned about bands being used in water, so I have a question. Is natural and genuine leather bands water resistant??? Or what will happen if leather bands are in the water???

By Toonhead on Saturday, December 24, 2016 - 06:01

...Just keep things completely safe, and don't use your Apple watch near water at all. That is the only sure-fire way of knowing your watch won't get wet. Even if I had an apple watch that was water-resistant, I still wouldn't ever dream of using an expensive piece of technology near water. Water and technology are not good friends.

By Justin on Saturday, December 24, 2016 - 06:01

Hi,
I totally agree with you Toonhead. water+tech = not good fun! I concur. If get apple watch 2, just put it somewhere safe if near water. I know it probably doesn't answer your question about baths etc, but, play it safe and protect your purchase. Don't get the series 1 watch.
