Barry, The tissot works on vibration when you touch the point of the watch face that the hand is indicating. To tell the time, press the button on the side of the watch then run the finger around the face of the watch clockwise. When you feel the constant vibration this indicates the hour. continue and you will feel an intermittant vibration which indicates the minutes. The outside of the dial is marked as a normal tactile watch with a bar at the 12 3 6 and 9 numerals and a raised dot at the five minute intervals. To read the time of the alarm press the button and run the finger anticlockwise around the watch face. Time of the alarm is indicated as per the long and intermittant vibrations. Both the clock time and the alarm time are set using touch on the watch face and the alarm can be turned on and off using touch as well. hth, Mark Threadgold -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Barrie Moxon Sent: 25 January 2005 20:42 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: RNIB and the Tissott Vibrating Watch hi Mark. can you tell me how these watches work, I am very interested in one.
