I made a Happy Man out of My husband :)
I got this watch in the mail today for my Teddy-Bear (husband). I just ask him how many stars he would give it and he said one. I ask why and he said, because it meets the need. I explained how the stars worked and he gave it 5 stars :) He can't see the clock on the wall at the dialysis center because he's blind. So, I thought this would make his day. It did :) It announces the time and date, and it will help him get through his days at the center easier. He says it's loud enough for him also. The big button on top is so easy for him. It looks very sleek and fits him just fine. So far the function is good. He's only had it for a few hours. I will report if anything goes wrong. Thank you for such a good product. I try to make his life easier and this watch is a huge help. It gives him a some independence. He can't take his Echo to the center with him. So, this is perfect.

This watch is an excellent solution for those who have trouble hearing, seeing and with dexterity.
Perfect for the elderly and/or disabled - those who have trouble seeing, hearing and with dexterity.My grandfather recently lost much of his sight and needs hearing aids. Because he can’t see well and shakes, a standard strap would be too hard to put on. This strap stretches. He can easily press the button to hear the time, and we set the alarm so he knows when to go down for dinner. He can’t see the display so a loud, clear alarm with a big button was important. We could find no other watch that met these needs.If you are buying this watch for a loved one, you may have to help set it up for them. It syncs the time and date out of the box really well via radio waves, and there is already a battery installed - the alarms will need setting though. But there is an easy to read manual and there is a link to YouTube videos by the company. An extra set of batteries was thrown in too! This watch is a great product that really addresses a need, and does it well.Update: I noticed a typo so I hit edit to fix it but just want to add that I was up visiting my grandfather last month and noticed he is still wearing this watch - I wrote the review after buying it for him and programming it back in 2017. Still works and he’s able to use it though he’s now completely blind.

Can hear the time & Date
This watch is very good for the legally blind. Easy to use and the speaker is relatively clear only hard to distinguish a.m. or p.m. sometimes. The choice of two type bands is nice also it looks good too. Have had it over a month and seems to be very durable. It is not complicated at all the set buttons are recessed so they don't get pushed accidentally in the large button on the top is very convenient. Anyone that has a vision challenge this is very good for hearing the time and date even if you wear a hearing aid.

Beware of return dates!
Be careful what you order! Check to see if your item is returnable and by what date! I ordered this watch for my visually challenged Mother on September 27, 2024. Apparently, I had only had 30 days to return. I see that the very same watch, as of today (11/10/24), is returnable until Jan 31, 2025 --more than two and a half months! Not right! The watch seemed like it was going to work for her, so I even paid to have some bands taken out. (Very large band, even though it is advertised for women.) Several family members tried to set it up for her. It stayed in correct time zone for a few days and then decided to switch on its own. Tried again, it does not stay in correct time zone. The voice is "tinny" and low volume. I had surgery and was finally able to pick it up from her to return, but Amazon says it is beyond the allowable return date of 30 days after the purchase date. If I bought this watch today, I would have a return window until Jan. 31, 2025. Read carefully!!

Works, Could be Louder, a Volume control maybe? Attomic my Bum!
I purchased this for an elderly friend who was losing their eyesight. This works well for him! The button is easy to feel with your finger, it's loud enough to hear in a quiet room but some type of volume control would be nice. One very cool feature is press the button once for the TIME, and press it again (2x) and it will tell you the date.NOTE: IT SAYS IT'S ATOMIC, BUT IT IS NOT. Maybe they meant the watch was radioactive? There are no apparent settings to enable it to Automatically synchronize it's time with the Attomic Time Beacon (Clock) in your area. Not a major issue, but you WILL need to manually set it when the time changes or if you travel to a different time zone. Setting it is fairly easy, even without the manual for a tech-savy person. The elderly or sight impaired will need assistance.BOTTOM LINE: It works, functions well, and is of decent design. I would buy this again!

LOW VOLUME DESTROYS GOOD WATCH
I like the big top-button design and functionof this ATOMIC TALKING WATCH;however, I’m very disappointed that thevolume is so low and there is no way to raisethe volume! I read very thoroughly thecustomer reviews on Amazon for several talkingwatches, and I chose this one because reviewerssaid that it has a loud volume and an announcerwith a voice that is easy to understand. The clarityof the voice is fine, but the volume is too low,and since it is unadjustable, that is a realproblem.I am really disappointed because I orderedthis watch for a blind friend whose family isgiving him a SURPRISE 90th BIRTHDAYPARTY, and I thought a talking watch wouldbe a perfect gift for him (I bought an Echofor him a year ago), but since I don’t knowhow good his hearing is, I don’t know whetherthis watch will be the beneficial gift that Ichose it to be.And I didn’t return the watch to Amazonbecause according to the reviews thiswatch is the loudest. So I decided to keepthe watch, give it to him at his party thiscoming weekend, and hope that his hearingis good enough for him to hear theannouncement of the time and date.But I am not happy with the purchase.(My teenaged son gave me a talking penabout 20 years ago, and—as I recall—ithad a louder volume than this watch).The concept of this watch is ideal andcould be very beneficial, but the low volumewith no way to raise the volume rendersthe watch impractical.Lily M.
