[Electronics-Talk] Braille watch alternatives

[Tracy Carcione]

Santiago, I'd like to hear more about the EOne.  Don't the ball bearings get
pushed off-track by vigorous movements or whatever?  I thought they were
only held on by magnetism?

HI To you all.

I currently own the EOne,
 and it is a great timepiece. With regards to durability, I have had it
since the beginning of this year, and it is still in pristine condition. I
wear it everyday, and it is great. Its design would suggest that it would be
more durable than the regular Braille timepieces. All of the components that
make the timepiece work, are not expose to the outside. And the ball
bearings seem pretty durable. Granted, I have not used it to do any
gardening as per your question Tracy, so I would not be able to comment
there.


Regards
Santi

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.
