Briefings
The author, who dislikes wearing watches and has declining hearing, purchased an Apple Watch Series 12 to use the Live Rewind feature. This feature allows the watch to replay audio from the last 15 seconds of a conversation when activated via the Digital Crown. The author notes that while the feature solves his immediate need to hear conversations, it raises privacy concerns regarding the processing of audio data on the device.
Key points
- The Apple Watch Series 12 includes a Live Rewind feature that replays audio from the last 15 seconds of a conversation when activated by double-pressing the Digital Crown.
- The author's hearing has declined since his 20s, making the Live Rewind feature essential for hearing conversations in noisy environments like restaurants and concerts.
Context

The author, who has declining hearing, uses this feature to hear conversations in noisy settings where he previously could not understand speech.
Limitations
