Some very good point s there Amro. Design that ends up increasing usability
for all has to be a good thing. Anything that moves us away from specialist
products, even a little bit, has my vote.
Also, to those who criticise the price, you don't have to buyit! There's
plenty of alternatives. I cannot aford one, and I do not feel deprived or that
I'm mising out in some way.
Just my thoughts.

| Well Graham, you've got a point, however, remember that you're paying for a
| quality Swiss watch made by Tissot, a well established manufacturer in this
| industry. As well, this Tissot Silent model isn't specifically made for VI
| users. The idea behind it is to be able to check the time without people
| around you noticing and as it happens we can benefit from this touch crystal
| technology. To my knowledge no other watch makers are using this technology
| which's, IMHO, a very clever idea as it can offer you the functionality of a
| digital watch while maintaining the elegant classic look of an analogue
| watch. And to be fair, Tissot has models which are quite more expensive than
| the Tissot Silent; take for instance the Tissot Touch models.
|
|
|
| The main point is that Tissot produced a mainstream product with added
| functionality which brings us to a same playing field level with the sighted
| user, and I think that's a very good practice and just hope other businesses
| would start following this approach.
|
|
|
| After all, we can now enjoy this discussion rather than living in a world
| where you have to take what you're given and be thankful.
|
|
|
| You can tell that I'm very passionate about this watch can't you?! *Smile*
|
|
|
| Just my two pence worth.
