[Electronics-talk] Talking Sports Watch

[Jenny Keller]

Well, I didn't want it to run backwards, but the watch was defective to begin with because it started talking when you didn't want it to and never kept the correct time in the talking feature.

I would love to find a braille watch with a blue face as that's my favorite color besides black.  I have one with a black face, I just have to get the band changed to something that fits me better.

I wish they made vibrating watches, whatever they are or do, that weren't hideously expensive and weren't sports watches.
