mactower Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 I can certainly understand that as I've spent some time in Amsterdam. My reference was more to the Wall-mart, K-Mart type department stores here in North America that used to have a red light go off over the "specials" to draw attention to that particular item. Also, urban dictionary is not kind to the phrase "red light special". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vafarmer70 Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 There are a ton of youtube videos of a K-Mart Blue Light Special A store employee would use the microphone say "Attention K-Mart Shoppers" Man that was annoying..

scottosaurus Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 If it has reliable bluetooth it could work pretty well. Also, it would be cool if it had a screen saver that could make the watch face look like a mechanical movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsea Posted February 22, 2011 Report Share Posted February 22, 2011 Hrmm are we all going to walk around with ear pieces? and what about web use. that screen is useless for it so we'll end up with that watch a bluetooth ear piece and a tablet. Theirs got to be a better way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wheaton26 Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 Good idea and it sounds like it's superbly made, my only gripe is that everything is now going touch screen iphone, android etc. So us blindies have nothing tactile to work around, number pads have the raised dot on the number 5 for exactly that reason, it's the centre key and you can find all numbers from there. It was originally designed by a blind engineer who figured it would be quicker to dial in the dark, especially for emergency calls, no raised dots on a touch screen. Sixx sixx, have you heard of the haptica braille watch? check it out ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
