[Electronics-Talk] Braille watch alternatives

[Christopher Chaltain]

My first two Seiko watches lasted for decades each. Currently I have a 
Tissot and a Victorinos. The Tissot was hard to find, and you want to 
make sure you get the right model, i.e. the Silen-T. I haven't had 
either of them for decades, but I don't see why the Tissot won't last 
forever. I don't like the Victorinos much though. I find the face too 
small. I am intrigued by the Eone though, and I'd love to see one in 
action. It also seems like it should be pretty durable.
