[Electronics-Talk] Braille watch alternatives

[Carol Feazell]

Oh, I think I am confusing that watch with  the one with the ball baring
that goes around and even if you move it accidentally, it will go back to
the correct time. I thought it looked pretty rugged for everyday wear but as
I said, my kids felt it was too masculine. I still liked the feel of it but
don't know how it has worked out for those who have it. However, I am having
very ood luck with my big, blingy watch so I reckon I'll just stay with it.

To tell the time, you press the button and then slide your finger 
clockwise around the outside of the watch face. When you get to the hour 
hand you feel a solid vibration and when you get to the minute hand you 
feel a stuttered vibration.
