Spin the Digital Crown through a vertical carousel of book covers. Tap one to start. The Crown becomes your speed dial. No phone needed, no setup, no companion-app dance.
It’s the same engine as the iPhone reader, sized for the canvas you have. Drag through a chapter on the bus. Read a short story on a treadmill. Leave the phone in the locker.
Spin to read faster. Spin back to slow down. The pace lives in your fingertips, not in a settings menu.
A small wrist tap at the end of every chapter. No buzzing, no notifications — just the page-turn feeling, on your wrist.
The same ring as the iPhone, on your watch face. Reads-toward-the-ring without streaks or shame.
Read a chapter on the watch, pick up where you left off on the phone. Read a chapter on the phone, pick up where you left off on the watch. The two devices just agree.
No accounts. No cloud sync of your books. The handoff is local, between the two devices on your person.
The watch is a strange reading surface. The screen is small. The hand position is awkward. The traditional answer has been: it’s a notification surface, not a reading one.
RSVP changes the math. If the words come to you one at a time, in the same place, you don’t need much screen. You need one word and a pace. The watch has both.
So the in-between minutes — in line, on a walk, on a treadmill, between two stops — become reading minutes. Same minutes, better ending. The watch is in the way of the scroll, but it’s right where the chapter is.
Read on your
wrist.
Part of Glint Reader Pass — one-time $29.99. Phone optional once a book is on the watch.
