I apologize if this has been covered, but I seem to have missed some of the posts on this watch and I am wondering where to get one. I am not sure it is something I need now in my mom roll, but I know some others who I would like to pass this on to. Especially if someone has some info on where to order and a price.

You will feel a steady vibration where the hour hand is, and if you keep running your finger around, when you get to the minute hand, you will feel a series of short vibrations. One pulse for each minute passed that five minute mark. so, if the time is 3:23 you run your finger around and you will feel a steady buzz at the 3 position, then at the 4 position you will feel three short pulses, a pause, three short pulses, and that repeats until you take your finger away. The vibration time has nothing to do with where the physical hands are. Mine got out of sync and the time I read was correct, but the hands were wrong. Syncing the hands to the tactile time was a pain for Teresa. We did everything the book said, but for some reason, it didn't quite work. We eventually got it sorted out, but it was a workaround. Yes, you can set it for any time you wish. No the radio has nothing to do with setting the time, unless you are listening to the radio for a time signal. No you cannot read different time zones. There is also a vibrating alarm that is settable by a blind person. It takes two batteries and it appears best to change both at the same time. -- Blue skies. Dan Rossi Carnegie Mellon University.
