[Diabetes-talk] Pump question

[Robert Shelton]

You're forgetting that picking up your arm and looking at your watch is only
invisible if you can't ... wait for it ... see.

Yeah, but checking a clock that's silent, or the sound is muffled as in the
case of talking watchusers, is not as disruptive as hearing a talking device
out loud, and they are usually loud, and then add in several talking
devices, and it becomes a chorus. It's rude to continue to chek the time, in
my opinion, but again, a sighted person isn't using a device that talks out
loud, so it's not as obvious, or at least not as annoying and disruptive as
a talking device.

I suppose it's no different than an LDP glancing at a clock on the wall.
Still, when I'm in a meeting, and I want to know the time, I fish my
earpiece out of my pocket and get the time from my phone.  I'm not sure what
the people around me think I'm doing, but then again, it's not all that
important to me.

Well, as I said in my post, these were all braille watches, in fact it was
before there was such a thing as a talking watch. Whether braille or
talking, it really isn't rudeness, just the fact that in order to check the
time publicly, it involves some kind of sound, as minnute as a click or as
disturbing as a robotic voice. This could have been a conference full of
sighted people, doing the same thing and nobody else in the room would have
been any the wiser. Just the way life goes, so don't be too hard on the
clicking braille watches. Lol! Linda.
