Hi Andrew,
You can check the hours and minutes in whichever order you prefer. But,
as with a conventional tactile watch, I find that I usually know the
hour and only need to check the minutes. The fact of the watch is made
of very hard crystal material.
Hope this helps.
Cheers now.
Ian

Hi Mark,
Can you explain whether you feel these vibrations in order of hours and
minutes? For example, if it was quarter past nine, and you started at
twelve o'clock, you would come past the minutes first, which would be
the three. Are you saying that in this scenario you would have to pass
your finger round the face twice - one for the hours and one for the
minutes? Hope this makes sense.
Also, surely pushing your finger on the face like this will cause issues
at the end?
Andrew.

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
