[Electronics-talk] Decent braille watch

[Annette Carr]

Thank you for the info on the AlexandraVision products.  Is the Meteor a
watch you wear on your wrist or a pendent that you wear around your neck or
put in your pocket.  Are any of the styles a watch?

Do you know of any place where you can see them?

Annette

Hi Annette,

Meteor by AlexandraVision might be a good option for you.

Web: www.alexandravision.com
I was not so much convinced when I saw the demo video, but, when I had one,
I discovered it's very good.  It's another way to see the time.  I think you
might like it too.  Try to see it directly somewhere if you can.  There are
no hands to touch, just vibrations to feel and you will know the time by
pressing three buttons and counting the vibrations.  When you feel it,
you'll discover that it's not hard to use, as it might sound with my
explanation.
Also, it's very convenient to see the time without letting people notice it.
