I haven't worn a watch for probably two years...i simply got sick of having
to either buy a new one every 6 months, or replace the batteries in the rad
shack watches each 6 months as well.
I think there was some discussion a long time ago about the vibrating
watches?
or crystal watches i think they were called...
anyway, a better alternative to the finicky braille watches and the
obnoxiousness of some of the talking watches.
