[Electronics-talk] Talking Sports Watch

[Stephen guerra]

I believe you can only get the tissot vibrating watch from ebay as they are
not actively being sold anymore and they run over $200

I'm not familiar with the Tissot Vibren watch, and I wasn't able to find it
via Google, but in the Tissot T-Touch series, the Silen-T is the accessible
vibrating watch that a blind person could use. The other watches in the
series vibrate, but not in a way that you could tell the time.

The Tissot Silen-T is available again, but the $349 price from Amazon was a
promotional price that ended at the end of March. It looks like the current
price is around $469.
