Something else you might want to take a look at is the Tissot Silen-t watches.
They are available in a few places, including Amazon.
They look like ordinary watches but vibrate on the bezel to indicate minutes of
hours. Mine keeps superb time.
They come in various styles and sizes.
Due to the Electronics in them they are relatively thick.

Hi Alison,
It’s a bit big I’d say for a lady, it’s about gent’s watch size.
So what it does, is it uses long and short vibrates. Long vibrates are fours
and short are single digits. So eleven would be Long, Long, then three short,
with a slight pause in between.
You can also speed up or shorten the pause length.
You can also just get the minute if you already know the hour.
It can also vibrate the hour on the hour, optionally, and has, as I said,
alarms, countdown and count up timers.
If you want to see long when you find out the time tactually, Apple watch is
one of the worst, it actually vibrates the number right up to nine, so nine is
nine vibrates, which takes forever, and you can’t speed it up.
All the best
Steve

Hello Steve
I’m not a great fan of talking watches, especially when I’m out and about, so I
don’t think a smart watch would be the answer for me.
I’ve not heard of the Renaissance; How large is it? I’m assuming it tells the
time via vibration. So, what would it do when it is say 11.45 – that would be a
lot of buzzes to count!

Hi,
I am one of those who personally doesn’t like them. It’s easy to knock the
ball bearings off true, so the time is then inaccurate and you end up shaking
your wrist to get it back.
For a non-smart watch, I use the Renaissance from Caretec, which we also sell.
I like this, because it has countdown timer, alarm and stopwatch as well as the
time. If you have any of Caretec’s weighing scales, it can also connect via
Bluetooth to give you your weight in vibrate patterns on your wrist, as well as
working with their kitchen scales.
It is a round watch and is again expensive. It works on vibrate patterns to
tell you the time, so there is no doubt what the time is.
I’d say it’s not as stylish as Bradley but it is a nice watch.
They also do a more basic one called Tiny which is more ladies’ size, but it
only gives time, date and battery status.
Just my consumer, not reseller, opinion.
All the best
Steve

It might be best if you could actually see one before purchasing. I know
people who love them but personally they wouldn’t be for me and I know some
people who have bought them and quickly sold them. The original ones are quite
chunky. I haven’t see any of the new ones.

Hi Alison
Yes I have. My husband bought me one for Christmas a couple of years ago and I
love it. Essentially there are two tiny ball-bearings that are magnetised in
two grooves around the watch face. The inside ball-bearing is for the minutes,
and the outer one is for the hours. There are tactile points around the face
to mark the hours. When I got my battery replaced recently, the jeweller was
fascinated by it and thought it a very nice timepiece. Mine is the original
black which Martin purchased from the online store based in London at that
time. But there are some swanky new designs I see from the Product Guide that
will make nice presents for folk purchasing.
Kind regards,
Jackie Brown

Subject: [access-uk] Bradley watches
In the latest edition of New Products I see there is a whole range of Bradley
watches as well as a new diamonte tactial watch.
Although they are expensive, with Christmas round the corner (what a horrible
thought) I am wondering about one of the Bradley time pieces, but have never
seen one. Does anyone on this list have one and what are your thoughts?
