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. ----- Original Message ----- From: Fred Wurtzel To: msb-alumni@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, August 22, 2014 1:45 PM Subject: [msb-alumni] Re: O.T.

Marcia From: Vickie Sent: Thursday, August 21, 2014 9:20 PM To: MSB Alumni Subject: [msb-alumni] O.T. No more Watches 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.
