I'm seeking the Talking Ladies Calendar Wristwatch - W20 and the talking video remote control, both made by Cobolt systems. I found them at the manufacturer's site but they're extremely expensive when converting from pounds to dollars and that's not even including shipping. I'm wondering if any places in America sell them, particularly the watch, since that's the most important. If not, does anyone here have one that they'd be willing to sell? Thanks or trade for something else?
There are lots of places in America that sell talking watches from $8 to over $50 depending on if you just want a one-button one for time, one for time and date, fancy bands and cases and various other features. Try:
Independent Living Aids
They're one of the cheaper companies.
There's also Maxi-aids, but have to check if that's a .com or .org company out of New York.
And, the Braille Bookstore, think is .com.
Thanks, but I'm specifically looking for that watch. The others usually have that annoying high-pitched female voice, though the sports one from The Braille Book Store is tollerable. Their calendar watch has a male voice but it's very slow and just doesn't sound right for whatever reason.
I have a talking video remote I probably won't be using now, xsince the whole of the UK's going to go digital/satellite by the end of 2012, bybye analogue, so, please, feel free to PM me if you want it. It also came with a talking LG video recorder with talking menus, so if anybody would like one or both these items, please, don't hesitate to ask. Hopefully, mum still has the orriginal box for the video recorder somewhere, lol.

Welcome to the new digital world. The U.S. has all ready gotten rid of most of the analog tv stations and people had to buy special DTV boxes in order to get stations in unless they were hooked to cable or satellite.
Wow! You have both a talking remote and a talking vcr? Amazing! I really hope that the stupid Verizon Fios will work with that so I can finally tape the shows that I like.
Oops, I just remembered PAL versus NTSC. That could be a bit of a problem.
