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. hth, Mark Threadgold -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Hodgson [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Andrew Hodgson Sent: 26 January 2005 09:23 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: [access-uk] Re: RNIB and the Tissott Vibrating Watch 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. -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx on behalf of Mark Threadgold Sent: Tue 25/01/2005 23:15 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: RNIB and the Tissott Vibrating Watch 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 -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Barrie Moxon Sent: 25 January 2005 20:42 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: RNIB and the Tissott Vibrating Watch hi Mark. can you tell me how these watches work, I am very interested in one.
