    Cell Tips
In summary, the speaker has very poor eyesight and cannot see small things or use glasses in bright light. They are looking for a solution for using a cell phone, possibly a watch or a voice-activated option like Apple's Siri. They also ask for recommendations on how to set up auto-calling with multiple numbers.

I have very very very bad eyes and I can not see anything very small.

I do have glasses but I can not use them in the Fay light.

Any cell phone I can not see to use and I know they can be setup for voice calling.

But I do not think it will work that good with me.

I have to talk to it and if something goes wacky I can not see it to fix it or reset anything.

Do they have a watch that is a cell phone?

Or something that you can put say 4 cell phone numbers to auto call?

Or what do you think is a good thing to do?

I think Apple's Siri could help you. You can do everything through the headphones and keep the actual iPhone in your pocket.
