I have been cruising the Web looking for a braille watch, preferably with alarm.
I had one from the CNIB several years ago which failed early on, a Seiko. While on holiday my watch quit so I bought a new one in Calgary, has a sort of pin type roller to hold the lid shut but it doesn't. Every time I tear off a sheet of paper towel it flips open, every fast movement flips it open and I seem to be swinging my left arm around a lot, certainly a lot more than ever I realized. At the time I bought it I noticed that the lid rattled and I remarked on it, the woman in the Calgary store brought out another which rattled too so I decided it to be a feature rather than a deficiency in design. It may be that there is no longer an alarm watch in braille, certainly CNIB doesn't sell any. A google search delivers several results but they all seem to offer talking watches. This is not really a "fixit" question however there are a couple of hundred blind people on this list which spreads the net fairly wide. Thanks for your indulgence.
