Using the product

Reading the time

The most effective way to feel the time is to begin with your index finger at the centre of the watch face, where the hands join, and then feel out along the hand towards the tactile number mark. Do this for the hour (short hand) and then the minute (long hand).

Battery replacement

These watches are fitted with a Silver oxide SR920SW (SR66/371)battery. It is recommended you take the watch to a watch specialist or jeweller to have the battery replaced.

Please note: RNIB does not guarantee batteries or watch straps.
