[Ohio-talk] Watches

[meandthedog at oberlin.net]

Good morning Barbara. Is the broiled watch able to be used while swimming?
some blind people
love to swim like me. it would have to be water proof. i would love to
have a braille watch that
I don't have to take off in the shower. I ruined several  vocal watches
which did not have water
proof. It is so easy to forget.
Sport watches would be great for blind folks. Megan and MS. P. GDB.
