[Ohio-talk] Watches

[Marianne Denning]

I used a braille watch for years for exactly the reason you are
describing.  I never had trouble moving the hands so since you are a
braille reader and used to a light touch I wouldn't worry about it.
There used to be one that was a braille and talking watch.
