I just looked at the Independent living Aids website and they still have
talking watches for as low as $5.99. I think I can afford that, when I need a
new watch. In fact, the highest talking watch was only $15.99 and braille
watches were fairly cheap too. I also looked at the watches at NFB.org and
they’re around $50 and there’s one for $150. And, Fred, that plant app looks
pretty cool. We’re trying to grow vegies inside and they keep dying. so now
maybe we can make them actually grow. The information didn’t say how much the
sensor is though. but we haven’t visited the website yet. so we’ll do that
soon and I’m sure we’ll find out then. Take care.

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.
