[access-uk] Re: TISSOT WATCH QUERY

Catherine,

I am one of the scuba diving nuts ian spoke of.

The only way I  have found to do underwater timing is to put a watch with
stopwatch into a condom and tie it up.  Then drop that into another one and
tie that up.  It works for me diving.  Tip is to unroll the condom and wash
it in soapy water and then dry them off before putting the watch inside.
This stops it slipping about and allows you to get to the buttons to press
them.

I use a watch the rnib have recently started selling again which has a large
button on the face of the watch for announcing the time.  This also
announces the stopwatch time when in that mode and makes it far easier to
use when wrapped up in this way, even with gloves on.

I agree, it is not the poshest method of achieving your aim, but as I said,
it works for me for scuba use.
hth,

Mark Threadgold

Hi Catherine,
From everything I know, I'm afraid that the search for a waterproof talking
watch is our equivalent of the search for the holy grail.   It may be that
some people who've been involved in SCUBA activity have come up with a
solution, and I think there are some of those on this list.

Cheers now.

Ian

Hi,

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...

Hi Ian,

I get page not found when I go to that link.  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?

Hi Catherine,

As George indicated, it's available from RNIB.  You can find out more by
going to

www.bbc.co.uk/rad.../intouch_factsheet_20041019.shtml

Hope that's helpful.

Sorry I can't answer your question but just wondered who sells this watch?

I'm aware that the Tissot vibrating watch is said to be water resistant to a
depth of three hundred metres.  But I wondered whether anyone had actually
been swimming while wearing one.
