Andrew,
Once you have run your finger around the face and felt one of the
bibrations then when you reach the other hand the vibration will start. You
don't need to run your finger around the face twice, in other words. You
don't need to push the face of the watch. the merest touch as you wipe the
finger round causes the touch sensitive face to trigger the vibration. The
watch is also waterproof, by the way, so any mess left by a grubby finger
can be just wiped off.
If it was quarter past one then there would be a constant vibration when
your finger is on the face of the watch over the 1 and as you went past it
an intermittant vibration when your finger reached the 3.

Mark Threadgold

Hi Mark,
Can you explain whether you feel these vibrations in order of hours and
minutes? For example, if it was quarter past nine, and you started at
twelve o'clock, you would come past the minutes first, which would be the
three. Are you saying that in this scenario you would have to pass your
finger round the face twice - one for the hours and one for the minutes?
Hope this makes sense.
Also, surely pushing your finger on the face like this will cause issues at
the end?
Andrew.

Barry,
The tissot works on vibration when you touch the point of the watch face
that the hand is indicating. To tell the time, press the button on the side
of the watch then run the finger around the face of the watch clockwise.
When you feel the constant vibration this indicates the hour. continue and
you will feel an intermittant vibration which indicates the minutes. The
outside of the dial is marked as a normal tactile watch with a bar at the 12
3 6 and 9 numerals and a raised dot at the five minute intervals. To read
the time of the alarm press the button and run the finger anticlockwise
around the watch face. Time of the alarm is indicated as per the long and
intermittant vibrations. Both the clock time and the alarm time are set
using touch on the watch face and the alarm can be turned on and off using
touch as well.
hth,
Mark Threadgold
