Do all Apple watches speak the time?

[nickosbad]

Hi, my daughter is obsessed with my Apple Watch and we are currently helping her learn to tell the time.

I am thinking of getting her a cheap used 38mm Apple Watch (probably 1st/2nd gen) for when she is at home and hoping that she can use the tap to speak the time out loud.

ignoring whether a small child should have an Apple Watch....do all of them have this feature? Do even the 1st gen speak the time when tapped?

thanks

I think so - but on the Mickey or Minnie face only.

If you set Mickey Mouse or Minnie Mouse as your watch face, you can tap the screen to hear them speak the time.

It works on any face, two fingers on the time.

On Apple Watch, you can see the time on the watch face, feel the time as taps on your wrist, and hear the time spoken aloud. Ask Siri or see 24-hour time.

Oh cool. Looks like that was a new feature in watchOS6 last year. Hadn't seen that.

Interesting.... Just tried it but the two fingers on the screen for me do not work?
Series 4 SBSS.

EDITED: Disregard.... What they do not say in the instructions is you must also select ‘Always Speak’ and not ‘Control with Silent Mode’.

Gotta love that Apple guide: I know they have to include it for completion’s sake, but the last method just seems so...superfluous?

Ask Siri: Raise your wrist and say “What time is it?”
