If you know someone who is sightless, then you're going to want to take some time to check out all of these watch concepts for the blind.
Modern designers are creating a ton of conceptual tools to help the blind lead fuller and more independent lives. One of the simplest and more stylish tools created by these designers are tactile wristwatches. These watch concepts for the sightless are designed specifically for the blind, with nearly all of them incorporating braille into their designs. Telling time may not be the biggest hassle that a blind person faces on a daily basis, but it's still great to see designers thinking of creative ways to make this simple task easier.
