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 models.
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.
