Yes, that method worked all the time. It was great to make a noise when we were
supposed to be going out of a lesson!

Hi Eleanor
The knack of closing the watch without being seen or heard was to put your
hands under the desk, and put your thumb right up against the catch so the
lid virtually nipped it as it shut. I would still use that method of
closing the watch quietly if I needed to, it worked for me every time!
As for straps, I agree that the width makes it hard to find something in the
jewellers, hence my reason for wishing they were smaller.
Kind regards,

I cannot feel any hairs on my wrists *smile* Jackie but I always got those
bracelet straps catching my hairs! I also found when I went to a jewellers
to change straps, I have very limited in the choice of straps because of the
width of the strap. Very disappointing but I know how you feel about
looking at the Braille watch discretely. Then of course nothing I do is
discrete so I was always told off in class as I never choose my moments
correctly and the click could always be heard as I closed the watch.
