Hi Peter, Some info about the Tissot watch. You press the winder button in for a few seconds and then move your finger clockwise around the outside rim of the watch face. When you get to the hour, there is a long vibrate on that bit on the watch face. When you get to the minute point there are a series of shorter vibrates to indicate how many minutes, between 0 and 4, for how many minutes it is past the 5 minute point on the watch face. If you start again, but move in an anti-clockwise direction, it will do the same, but for when the alarm is set. When the alarm is reached the watch seems to vibrate at several points, enough to wake someone up if being worn. I don't suppose there is any point in explaining the set time and alarm operation, but they are similar to the above. It is a great tactile watch and the best timekeeper I have ever had, it is good looking as well. For those blind people who are active it will also allow you to continue to wear the watch while doing your thing with sport, particularly useful if that thing is water based. The only tactile watch that does not look it. Even though it was pricey, in my opinion, for those who wish to spend that much money on a watch, it is well worth the money. Just think how much money sighted people will spend on a watch. I hope that explains it.
