Q: Accessibility: will Apple Watch work without vision or for a blind person?

Will Apple Watch work without vision or for a blind person?

 

I have found no information about it. Other than it being iOS-based... which would make it cool if it worked, wouldnʻt it?

 

So will it work, and/or if, how will it work?

 

As itʻs a flat surface, obviously looking at what time it is... oh wait...

And I canʻt even really use my fingers to read the time on it, because my guess is that it wonʻt do Braille straight out of the box.

 

But it would be cool if it be taught the rotary commands. Teach it whatever it should do for a visually impaired person.

Like use Siri or VoiceOver, or rotary commands...

 

Does it have have headphones connection (for privacy)?

Will I be able to speak it asking questions like "what time is it?" "whatʻs the weather now like?" "answer that call" "how do you spell that?"

OS X & Server, iOS, VoiceOver
