[Electronics-talk] Talking Sports Watch

Sun Apr 22 13:41:23 UTC 2012

I own two of the silent-t watches and swair by them. 
I've scored one via eBay for around 100 bucks last spring. 
THey are very heavy duty  and are fairly water proof. I've accidentally swam with mine on a few occasions, and it was just fine. 

Warm Regards:
Matt Diemert
