what's up everyone John Ritter from TechnoBuffalo here the UI on the Apple watch is unlike anything we've ever seen from Apple and because of that it could be a little bit hard to understand and figure out what does what think about getting the Apple watch or maybe you just picked one up I thought I'd give you guys a UI tour and show you what does what what turning the crown does what pushing it in double tapping all that kind of stuff is going to do let's start with the home screen so the screen here has something that's called force touch essentially if you tap it you can go and open something up so if I want to open my activity monitor I could go ahead and tap that but if I push down and push down harder you can access other menu options that'll work throughout the entire phone though it's a bit inconsistent with what apps are gonna use it so from the home screen here you can customize the home screen any way you want so we'll go ahead and select the one that I've got called modular and you can pick what you want to show so I've got calendar showing up there you can pick a whole bunch of different options you can do so for each of those little quadrants you find what you want push the crown in push it again and you are good to go so much like your phone this has notifications if you just swipe down from the top you can access them and you can see what you have scroll through them all swipe up and it'll go away if you want to look at glances and you control glances from your phone if you swipe up you can see what you've got set in glances you can set much more on your phones actually going to show here so bear in mind you're only gonna see the first few so use them sparingly they're kind of like little widgets I've got mine customized a little bit I'll go through and set them a little bit more the first one it's always gonna pop up though these shortcuts so if you want to say it's just vibrate if you want airplane mode do not disturb or turn off the notifications you can do that right here and swipe that to go away so you've got this digital crowns crowns pretty familiar if you've ever used sort of an old regular watch but this one does a lot more so if you push it once while you have your home screen on its gonna take you to the apps and here you can sort of scroll around to see what apps you have you can select one if you want or if it's you got big fat thumbs you can go ahead and zoom in a little bit and it'll open the one that's served in the middle you can course zoom out as well to see all of them right there we'll go ahead and push that once and that's gonna take you back to the home screen they also do other things too so if you double tap it it's gonna open your last used app so here my activity monitor I just set it up so don't judge me by my lack of inactivity and if you go ahead and long press it you're gonna get serious so go ahead and go back again to go home long press it and this is where series gonna live and so you can do a lot of things most of stuff you can do on your your phone I can also open apps as well so long press it open one password it'll go ahead and open whatever you asked it to do so if you want to know the weather you want to set a timer you can do all of that using Siri if you don't want to go through and sort of go through all those apps you can be a bit hard to figure out what your app is what you can customize where the apps show up though on your phone so if you want to use settings in the middle or phone calls in the middle now you can go ahead and customize that as well and again you keep digital crown to zoom in you're gonna want to fight the urge sort of used to thing or so zoom it's gonna sort of cover the screen Apple encouraged you to use one finger as you do your so we'll go back home there's another button on the right hand side that does a lot of different things to pressing it once is gonna go to your favorite dials by default it'll pull in what you've got set as your favorites on your iPhone but you can customize what shows up here how many you want or how many don't want go and select we're ringing around here if I want to go and select office for example and I could tap that and I could call the office directly or message them if you wanted mess somebody else who has an Apple watch another icon will show up in the middle that's where you can doodle things or send your heart monitor and of course your Apple watch can also be used to make and receive phone calls it has a speaker built-in and a microphone so you don't hold it up to your ear are you to talk to like you would any sort of external speaker so I got Ralph calling me I'll go ahead and answer that and now I am talking to Ralph hi Ralph so now we're having a phone call you can adjust the volume using the digital crown you can mute it or when you're done just hang up bye Ralph and go ahead and just hang up right there and here we are back at the home screen if you double tap that button on the bottom then take you to Apple pay and you set up Apple pay through the Apple watch app on your phone not through the passbook app as you would use Apple pay on your phone and if you long press the buttons gonna be sort of your power buttons where you can turn it off or enter power reserved no it's actually just gonna show you the time it's gonna reboot down and then boot back up into power Reserve you could turn that off and go back into regular mode by holding down that button again so there's obviously a lot of stuff you can do with your Apple watch but this is just sort of a general UI over overview how to do things what does what you know how to make sense of absolutely everything here a UI here is not overly intuitive it's a brand new user interface with brand new ways to interact with your device so you definitely want to use to watch for a couple days to learn what's gonna do what I'm a self a cheat sheet but perhaps a trial and error is the best way to go thank you guys for watching hope you enjoyed give the video a thumbs up we always appreciate it until next time I'm John render from TechnoBuffalo so you guys next one bye bye
