[Electronics-talk] Water proof talking watch?

Wed Feb 16 15:05:14 UTC 2011

Actually, I'd prefer a braille watch from Rolex!

BTW, I've had two Seiko braille watches for more than the past 20 years, 
and I've never had any trouble getting a jeweler to change the battery. 
Of course, a Seiko watch and a Radio Shack watch are a bit different.
