[Electronics-talk] Talking Sports Watch

[Jenny Keller]

As I wrote before, I have no idea what a vibrating watch does, or how much they run in price.

I can't afford an expensive watch.  

Also, does it have to be a sports watch that is a vibrating watch.  Sports watches have such bit faces and I have such little wrists.
