Hi, I tested this product last year when I worked for an access technology
company. At that time the quality was not what I expected in a $500
product, but was steadily improving.
Pros: comfortable, convenient, easy to use, cross platform compatible. The
dot watch is really an outstanding idea and functionally works perfectly.
Cons: Only four cells. I would prefer the display turned sideways wnd an
extra cell fitted. This is to do with the fact that the average word in
english is 5 letters long. Considering grade two braille, you can pack a
lot more info on the display with 5 cells than with 4.
Scrreen protecter is a very important feature, but made the dots slightly
not as nice to read.
Dot firmness. You had to be careful with tthe dots on the model I tested
last year as they could be manually pushed down by a finger and then would
take a while to come back up.
Personally, if I had a choice between a smart watch like the apple watch or
the dot, I would take the dot hands down. Having said that, and
considering the price point, I hoped for more features onboard the watch
such as excelerometer, gps, fitness tracker and more. I know there are
people using apple watch for health and it's having an enormous impact.
So, I want the dot to have fall detection, heart, oxygen, and blood sugar
monitoring, and so on. I don't need any of these features. I just really
like the watch and really want digital braille on my wrist, but I'd love to
be able to recommend it for more than a high end digital time piece that
reads smart phone notifications.
Best,
Erik

Hello everyone. I am looking for opinions on the Dot Braille Smart Watch.
It is a smart watch that you can pair with your eye device, and it has a
for character braille display. There are plenty of YouTube videos out there
about it, but I am looking for someone who has seen it or purchased it, and
can give me an opinion on its durability and how it works. Thanks.
