[Electronics-talk] Talking Sports Watch

[Annette Carr]

Last time I looked at LS&S and ILA, the vibrating watches they offered only
had vibrating alarms.  You had to have sight to tell the time and set the
time and alarm.  Maybe they have something new, so I will have to check it
out again.

look at ls&s group they have some vibrating watches but I don't know how
blind friendly they might be.  they have stuff for blind and hearing
impaired people.
