Well, I finally had to break dow and buy another watch last year. Mine 
litterally began falling apart! I baught one from the NFB catalogue and I love 
it! It's the $45 one that is gold color and has the button for the time and 
date as well as the regular time. You can adjust the thing to tell scientific 
time as well.

  Hi,

   

  Not likely.  There is a steady demand.

   

  Warmest Regards,

  I just hope Braille watches don’t go away.

  Rob and I have never used talking watches, that’s the way it is.

  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.
