narikaa Posted July 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 A no brand watch? give me three smilies please Indeed it bears no brand....but no three smilies for that generalisation.......you have to say 'what this watch is' It doesnt need intricate knowledge.....just thinking thru Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irongambit Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 is it a dive watch for the deaf? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irongambit Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 I'm sorry...I meant for the blind My rationale... extra buttons to have the time told to wearer perhaps as both voice (when on dry land) and via vibrations or pulses under water. Very little lume for a dive watch Seeing the brand may become unimportant if you cannot see The "extra crown" looks like a little horn to me Just trying to expand my thinking here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pugwash Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 (edited) Here's a guess. It's a smuggler's watch. The buttons open secret compartments where you can keep drugs or something. Either that, or it's a pill watch for when to take your medication. It has to be an unusual single-purpose watch like that. Edit: Medication could also be booze Edited July 16, 2006 by Pugwash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame on the rest of you slow thinkers !! 'you cant SEE what all those buttons do' so which other sense would they cater to????? None so blind as those who will not see!! irongambit PM your postal details - congrats! Edited July 16, 2006 by narikaa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irongambit Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 On further examination, I am convinced that it is for the visually impaired. The disk of the seconds hand is at the end of the hand to be able to see better. Huge high-contrast numbers. I'm not sure if it actually vibrates, but I bet that it talks. EDIT ...OK, so I'm a little late. I keep going even though I'm the winner. I should learn to type faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

narikaa Posted July 16, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 Yes its a Talking watch (proto type run - designed for the blind) - many functions: Optional spoken time & alarm setting Optional spoken hourly 'chime' 3 Different alarm tones Optional hourly vibrate Optional alarm vibrate Hourly 'chimes' self disable 9pm - 7am ps Puggy I think you got into the right mindset too late Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

narikaa Posted July 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 "Blind" doesn't mean "sees nothing but black".

narikaa Posted July 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Just by way of an epilogue to this story. I called on one of my distributors last night and from across the room he looked at my watch (this one) and said........ "It doesn't does it?" "what?" says I "TALK TO YOU" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 and from across the room he looked at my watch (this one) and said........ "It doesn't does it?" Good job he doesn't post here or he'd have won a watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
