Ii. it's exciting to know that a watch company want to tweak their models for visual accessibility. one issue that arises with analog braille watches is that the clock face's moving mechanism is quite sensitive to touch. there is a chance of messing up the time if you're not careful with them. If the smartwatch isn't running on Android firmware, it's unusable for a person with a visual impairment. so low end smart watches lack audible feedback due to it's limitations. hope that helps
