[nabs-l] braille watches help!

[Kerri Kosten]

Hi Corb:

Thanks for your message!

It's a little late lol, as I went ahead and ordered a $45 quartz one.

I was told by my friend Seiko wasn't making them anymore, but looking
online you can still find them, they are just really expensive...like
$150 or more.

I probably should've went ahead and spent the bucks and gotten a good
one but I figured if I don't like this one or it breaks or something
I'm not out of too much money.

I'm going to see how I like this quartz one and if I really don't like
it I'll consider spending the bucks and getting a more expensive one
like the Seiko.

Thanks so much for your message!
Kerri
