Can anyone comment on playing audiobooks through bluetooth headphones with only a watch? I'm thinking of picking one up, but in practical terms the only function I want is the ability to listen to books while running without having to lug my phone around. I know you can manually add audio files even though Audible still doesn't have a watch app (why...), but I'm wondering how seamless the controls are.

In theory it should be fine once I convert Audible's DRM format into mp3, although hardly elegant. I'll pick up a watch and trial run it, I suppose.

Audiobook + watch trip report: it works. Badly, and you have to jury rig it with a file splitter and a lot of micromanaging, but it works. Hopefully somebody comes up with an app solution soon. Unrelated question: Do you have to switch to water lock mode and do the obnoxious stereo water ejection pulse thing every time I'm about to shower, or is that more for actual water submersion? From what I gather series 0 didn't require it.

Do third-party developers have access to haptic feedback settings on the watch? The thing is like 80% of the way to being an absolutely essential bit of kit for motorcycles (as an alternative to mounting aphone for gps and having the battery drain), but it needs different types of pulses for left and right turns and also a bit more delay before the alert. There doesn't seem to be anything on the app store for this, so I'm wondering if the watchOS haptic settings can even be overridden or if it's hardcoded.

eddiewalker posted:Maps navigation already has unique left and right turn patterns. I find they work very well when driving a car, but the haptics are impossible to feel against the vibrations of my motorcycle bars. Huh. I can feel it fine on the bike, but apparently not enough to distinguish the type of turn.
