Hi Yusuf, I wouldn’t normally go for anything as blingy as the one you’re
looking at. Some years ago I bought a Seiko men’s tactile watch from amazon
which was rather more plain but very stylish. I ended up giving this to a
friend who needed a tactile watch and he has sadly died since then. As far as I
can tell the product is no longer available. I found a watch which is quite a
lot cheeper than the one with Zircons and which in my opinion looks pretty
stylish and quite understated. It’s at:

Hi, sorry for the cross posting. I'd really like to purchase a tactile watch.
Something that will be discrete to consult in meetings or at the theatre. It
also has to be of sufficient quality to be worn at my PhD graduation. I've
had a Bradley in the past, in-fact two of them. The second was a replacement
for the first which stopped working just inside the year's warranty. The
second also stopped in the same fashion, but outside the warranty. I won't be
buying another. The last time I looked at the RNIB offerings I didn't
particularly like them, and the one I did like I had to send back because I
was totally unable to open the lid. I'm currently looking at this tactile
watch, detailed description below the link
https://www.blindmicemegamall.com/bmm/shop/Item_Detail?itemid=1829597
This distinguished Men's Gold-tone Swiss-made braille watch has an extremely
thin, curved and smooth styling that hugs your wrist and never feels
cumbersome.
You won't want to take it off.
It has been designed to appear as handsome when being looked at as when being
touched.
The usual raised braille dots have been replaced by small zircons on its
crisp, white dial
adding to its elegant and discerning appearance while
providing visual brilliance and accurate, dependable timekeeping .
Product Features:

Individual elegance. Fine craftsmanship. Impeccable design.
That's how Auguste Reymond Braille watches are described.
For over 50 years Auguste Reymond has been producing Braille and Low Vision
watches in the genuine tradition of Swiss watchmaking crafts.
Suggested Retail Price: $199.99

does anyone have one? What do you think?
What are other people using as tactile watches? In an ideal world I'd like a
wind up one. I guess that's because I have a feeling that they are more
reliable. Although that flies in the face of a friend's recent experience.
She's having to wind her watch up every 12 or so hours, otherwise it stops.
Any ideas? Or is what I want simply not possible anymore.
