David:

No, it is not a Braille watch.

It's an atomic talking watch with hands and print markings for a visual 
display.

I meant also to say that the time indicated by the hands, and the time 
verbally spoken do not correspond.

As a college professor once again, I guess I need to be mroe careful 
proofreading my writing, eh?  (smile)

Hi Tom,

Does your comment mean this is both a braille and a talking
watch?  If so, I may want to look into getting one myself.  I have a
Radio Shack talking watch which I don't use.  hated not being able to
sneak a peak at my watch under the table during a boring staff meeting.

Incidentally, did you mean to say the hands and spoken time did not 
correspond?

73,
