Kaiti:

What did you mean by Braille watches being inaccurate?

I, too, am intrigued by this. A few of you know that I've been on the search for a tactile watch that could do all I need it to do. I didn't like the Bradley because it was so bulky and not as precise as I would liked. The braille watches have faces that are too small and inaccurate. Talking watches are not always the most professional and are disruptive in my work. I settled on a pocket watch from AT Guys that vibrates, but I will have to always be sure I wear pants with pockets when I'm doing music therapy sessions. This watch seems versatile and accurate enough that I could use it all the time, and I like that it can connect to my iPhone. It seems like it will be silent with the braille access, and the battery life seems good. I will definitely put it on my Christmas list as well.
