[Electronics-Talk] Braille watch alternatives

[Sandra Johnson]

Tracy:

I got my last two Braille watches from LS&S Products, www.lssproducts.com. 
My last watch lasted 12 years and my current watch is 13 years old and still 
working fine.  I do not  remember the model number but mine is the gold with 
a bracelet band.  When I got this watch in October 2005 the price was $128. 
It probably has gone up by now but checking online or a phone call can tell 
you the current price.  I found that the bracelet band could come unhooked 
easily if bumped too hard.  I went to a watch repair place and got a very 
attractive stretch band.  I hope this helps.

I much prefer a watch I can check silently, as opposed to a talking watch.
I keep buying braille watches, but they always break after a year or 2.  The
best I've had is a Seiko, so far.

Does anyone own one of the alternative watches, like the EOne or the Tisot?
Do they last any longer?  The EOne is much more affordable than the Tisot,
but are there problems with the ball bearings?

I need a sturdy, long-lasting watch, one that can stand up to stuff like
being worn while working in the yard.
