I think this can be bought from SightAndSound.

* came across this advertised in the Be My Eyes May newsletter and wonder
if any one here have come across it. It is available from the USA and costs
299 dollars. From what I gather it is a watch with a sonar transmitter and
receiver on it. By moving your wrist around you can sense the obstacles
around you by the intensity and the pulse of the vibrations from the watch.
Some reviews on YouTubes were quite positive. You can pair this with an app
on your phone and so adjust the range and angle of the sonar beam. Here is

Sunu Band - Travel with Confidence
The Sunu Band is a smartwatch that uses sonar echolocation and a GPS
navigation app to provide its users with a safe and smooth navigation
experience.
Designed to be complementary and subtle, the Sunu Band works in
collaboration with your white cane or guide dog, as it can detect obstacles
from your knees and up (like poles, people or tree branches). People who
use Sunu Band rave about detecting bicycles on the sidewalk, following
people in a queue, navigating crowds and avoiding those evil tree branches.
Would appreciate any feedback from anyone who has one.
John
