Larry, it’s cool when some of the talking devices are yacking at the same time, smile.

No more Watches Well Marcia, we only have the clocks, the microwave and a sometime functioning thermometer.

No more Watches 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.

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.

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.
