Dale, if you are thinking of the Tissot watch, do be sure that wherever you purchase it, you'll be getting the instructional CD with it. I don't know about you, but I'm one of those people who believes that instructions are superfluous. I continue to behave in this manner despite experiencing, with almost perfect reliability, very clear evidence to the contrary.
I don't want to scare you off. The Tissot watch turns out to be very easy to set up and use. In fact, its use becomes second nature very quickly... Particularly since you'll have a tendency to play with it on almost a full-time basis for the first couple of days. It really is a neat watch. However, you do have to familiarize yourself with some specific directions for its proper set-up and use. --Barry -----Original Message----- From: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dale Leavens Sent: Monday, September 11, 2006 9:16 PM To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] Source for Braille watch (with alarm) Thanks, don't worry about it too much, I think they have discontinued that model. I am beginning to like the sound of that Tissot Silen-t. A little pricey maybe but I am hoping I can find a source for one in Houston. Up here in Canada they seem to be charging a lot of money which probably means big import duty. Now if I can find a short cruise to use up a little time while down there after seven days both my wife and I can bring in $750 each tax free.
