We have two atomic clocks. One in the bedroom and one in the kitchen. We also
have a talking timer, as well as a talking indoor outdoor thermometer.
There’s also a talking scale, which doesn’t get used as much as it should, and
I can’t forget about the talking blood pressure monitor. All that aside, I
still love my Braille watch.

We have several atomic talking watches around. I also have the iPhone but still
like having a watch for several reasons. I like checking the time when I'm out
running around and don't want to be taking the phone out every time to do this.
Ya never know who's watching and smart phone theft has become a real problem.
So when I'm out doing things I have my phone pass code in use. I don't feel
quite dressed without a watch. I have a braille clock in the headboard to
check the time at night. So yup, still have several time devices around.

Well, haven’t seen Victor put this news on this list. However, he did message
me through Facebook. Radio Shack, who used to be the cheapest talking products
for the blind, is no longer selling them. Both talking watches, and talking
clocks have been eliminated from Radio shack’s inventory. They claim that a
blind person can get this information from their cell phones. that is true, but
only those who have the I phone or a smart phone, I should say really. I do use
the time and alarm services from my cell phone. But, I also use my talking
watch for time. I know I will definitely miss getting talking and inexpensive
watches from Radio Shack.
