[Electronics-Talk] Braille watch alternatives

[evelyn weckerly]

Hi, tracy, and all,

My first Seiko watch lasted many years; my second one did not.  
Afterward I had two Braille watches and oneBrailleandtalk one 
which worked for only a shorttime.  At the 2011 convention, our 
Independence Market had a sale on a Swiss electric watch because 
that particular model was being discontinued.  I got one for $100 
instead of $150.  I'm still using it.  As far as I know, its 
replacement is available.

Regards,

Evelyn

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.

Tracy
