Thanks for this John, do you have a direct link to where they sell it
please?
thanks,
Hi Scott,
I bought mine from the RNIB, where they have details.
It can be bought slightly cheaper via mail order from abroad, but then you
do get the difficulties mentioned earlier re guarantees, repairs etc. Also,
remember that as a blind person the RNIB does not impose the VAT that you
may need to add in other countries.
Regards, John

Well Graham, you've got a point, however, remember that you're paying
for a quality Swiss watch made by Tissot, a well established
manufacturer in this industry. As well, this Tissot Silent model
isn't specifically made for VI users. The idea behind it is to be
able to check the time without people around you noticing and as it
happens we can benefit from this touch crystal technology. To my
knowledge no other watch makers are using this technology which's,
IMHO, a very clever idea as it can offer you the functionality of a
digital watch while maintaining the elegant classic look of an
analogue watch. And to be fair, Tissot has models which are quite
more expensive than the Tissot Silent; take for instance the Tissot Touch
The main point is that Tissot produced a mainstream product with added functionality which brings us to a same playing field level with the sighted user, and I think that's a very good practice and just hope other businesses would start following this approach.
After all, we can now enjoy this discussion rather than living in a world where you have to take what you're given and be thankful.
You can tell that I'm very passionate about this watch can't you?! *Smile*
Just my two pence worth.

and at that price it wants to be elegant as well. preferably it should make the tea, cook the dinner and clean the house as well!
For something that is just a time piece I would need some convincing that this is anything but an extreme con.
I am in to Braille and use things like the Braillenote which is certainly extremely expensive because, though cheaper in real terms than a few years ago, Braille cell technology is still expensive. but unless you are heavily into sport and need a watch that stands a good chance of survival in water, or you earn wages typical of a top end premiership footballer, this price would probably deter most would-be buyers especially when braille watches are still available for a quoarter of the price.
Cheers

Hi Darran and all,
The watch is grate. Accurate, elegant and water proof. However, one thing is good to be aware of, Tissot, the company, functions as franchise manufacturers. So if you ever need to fix your watch the dealer would have to get the parts from the country you bought it from, and that clearly takes more time. Further more, even with an international warranty, the dealer here in the UK wouldn't be able to replace the watch for you if needed because it will be a none UK model. While when you buy it from here obviously all British sales regulations apply. I'm talking from a first hand experience. Having said that, I don't know if the States' models are the same as the UK models. You could find more about this matter from a Tissot dealer.
HTH,

Hello to Tissot watch users out there.
I'm thinking about buying one of these watches, and was just after a little feedback from those who've already taken the plunge.
Are you all happy with the watch, or have you discovered things that you don't like or just can't get along with?
Many thanks.
Darran
