And I was looking for one, but it seems they must have gone up in price. I found a place that had 3 or 4 available, but they were $450 and $475 respectively. They were available from e-time.com, but I probably have the site name wrong. Just use Google and search for the watch and you'll find the site. If I could find one for a bit less expensive, I might consider purchasing one. My braille watch is having difficulty and I do not believe it would be easy to fix. The battery no longer wants to stay in it's holder. I guess I could tape it or something, but it used to be fine. Oh, does anyone know how to get the back off these darned watches?> I keep having to take it to the local jeweler to have the battery reset into the watch.
