MessageHi, Thanks for the links. It looks interesting, but at the moment (and I think I'd have to think carefully about it at any time) I can't justify £242 on a watch. Now, coming back to Ian's original question of whether anyone had been swimming while wearing one...what I really am looking for is a means of timing my own swimming. I thought about having my Nokia Communicator at the end of the lane and using a stopwatch on it but a) it doesn't have a stopwatch, although I could probably find one for it, but b) it's far too precious to me to leave it at the side of a pool where it could get stolen, trodden on or drowned. From looking at it the Tissot wouldn't actually be able to do it either since it doesn't mention a second hand. Has anyone got any ideas how I could do it? Ideally I would like to wear a watch rather than put a clock at the end, because I need as an accurate timing as possible and it would lose time me finding the clock to stop it. None of the talking watches on the RNIB site mention being water resistant but then again neither does the Tissot (oh how efficient, RNIB) so I might e-mail and ask them but just wondered if anyone had any thoughts...

I searched RNIB for tissot and find nothing...it's not in the vibrating watches section of the RNIB site...do you know which section of the RNIB site it's in?

You can find out more by going to www.bbc.co.uk/rad.../intouch_factsheet_20041019.shtml Hope that's helpful. -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Catherine Turner Sent: 30 March 2005 13:59 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: TISSOT WATCH QUERY Hi, Sorry I can't answer your question but just wondered who sells this watch?

But I wondered whether anyone had actually been swimming while wearing one. http://www.bbc.co.uk/ This e-mail (and any attachments) is confidential and may contain personal views which are not the views of the BBC unless specifically stated.
