I really like my Tissot Silent T. Basically it doesn't open, but has braille graduations around the rim. I run my finger around the crystal, and it vibrates when I get to the hands. Too bad Tissot discontinued it. I know that I really like this watch because it's so durable. I don't like braille watches as much because the oils get inside and also it's likely that you might knock the hands a bit. My Tissot keeps very accurate time because I'm not touching the moving parts + I don't have to annoy people in a meeting. It still can be gotten on some web pages (I think).
