Big and Clear Voice Talking Watch for Blind, Visually impaired or Elderly.

We gave up on the atomic version of this talking watch because it would not reset itself. Hubby has poor vision and this quartz version is wonderful. He can sort of see the dial and the voice backup allows him to have the info he needs. Do wish that the manufacturer would make a band that is replaceable. The watch goes on, the band not so much.

My father is legally blind, and he loves this watch. Money well spent.

I purchased this for my mother who has macular degeneration and also has hearing issues. She can see the hands on this watch, but I cannot get the voice part set to speak the correct time. The instructions seem simple enough, but I will have to figure it out somehow. My mother is unable to work with it.

What time is it? It’s time to get the hell out of here.

Was very pleased with this at first, but it did not keep accurate time (oddly kept an accurate date) and stopped working in under a year. Great concept but poor quality. Very disappointed. Would not recommend.

The clock speaks with a fairly clear voice, but it must be protected from water. Furthermore, there are obviously two different clockwork mechanisms responsible for the display on the dial and the announcement of the time via loudspeaker. This can lead to a significant discrepancy between the announced time and the displayed time, and unfortunately, there's another malfunction, likely due to a software issue. When 3 PM is reached, 9 AM is announced. This is more confusing than helpful for a visually impaired user.

I have macular degeneration and have been on a mission to purchase the most easily viewed watch. (Caution, if you have my sight problem, don't buy a black dial watch!) This talking watch is easy to read even in the dimmest light. In fact, I have only used the talking function three times. It was easy to set up and thank goodness it doesn't have a date feature. Remember, when you push the dimple with your toothpick, there won't be more instructions than "SET HOUR". Then go to your top button and push it repeatedly until the hour is set. I have used this watch for several weeks and would purchase it again.

I have looked hi and low for one equal to my old one. I was dubious about it not having the same buttons and features, to my great delight it has everything my old one did. Only less buttons to confuse and much simpler than the old was. This one works well. Hope it lasts as long as my last one did. Nice clear sound, although it could be a bit louder in case you’re in a busy area. Otherwise it’s wonderful!
