the time keeper is looking for watches hahaha.
Anyway I think Maxy has one that is water resistant. And I know that radio shack had a water proof one at one time but I might a gotten discontinued.
Good luck!

I have a tissot SIlen-t which isn't talking but has a vibrating face. Nice looking watch and very water proof, I've swam with it for several years now.

it vibrates, though mine is out of battery and i'll have to send it back to the rnib. you run your finger round the bessil and then it vibrates to tell the time. hmm. though the price is £269 or so. a nice watch though. oh, and the radio controlled talking one? it's around £30

I've purchased three tissot's from ebay in the past year for under $100 US.

Na, They aren't making them any longer, so I wanted some back ups before you can't get them anywhere

I just saw a water-resistant watch at Speak To Me for about $19.95 US. Seems to have all the usual watch features on it. Now, this thing is water-resistant and not waterproof, assuming there is a difference. So I think you can get the thing wet with no problem but you probably wouldn't want to just dunk the thing in water. I'm just guessing, so I could perhaps be wrong. I think Maxi Aids might be selling similar things, but you should go to Speak To Me anyhow because they're a small business and would probably love the support, plus they're just nice folks to deal with.

I've dealt with speak to me. I got an atomic watch for about $34 and it still works!
