Question

screen on watch is dark, put it on charger, voice from watch says 100% charged then says time.

Screen on watch is dark, can't get it back on. Put it on charge, voice from watch says 100% charged then announces time. Pressing either button doesn't do anything. Pressing and holding both buttons for 10+ seconds and the apple logo appears on screen, stays on for a short while, announces "screen curtain on", then says 100% charged. Did not drop or bang it, just started while on charger. Any suggestions?

Apple Watch, purchased new April 2015

Hi

VoiceOver (an accessibility feature) has been activated on your watch.

To disable VoiceOver:

On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch (tab) > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver > turn off each of VoiceOver and Screen Curtain.

If the Accessibility Shortcut has been enabled and configured for VoiceOver, you can also enable and disable the feature more conveniently:

On your watch: quickly press the Digital Crown (the round button) three times.

To configure the Accessibility Shortcut:

On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch > General > Accessibility > Accessibility Shortcut (at the bottom) > select / deselect VoiceOver.

You can also use Siri to disable VoiceOver (which also turns off Screen Curtain):

- Press and hold the Digital Crown until you feel a tap on your wrist from your watch.

- Then say: “Turn off VoiceOver.”
