to set watch Mar 10, 2008
My watch did not reset and I can't get it to after reading the instructions since I do not know the # 4 button?
No information on that can I find.

Low vision? Dec 14, 2007
Low vision is right. White hands on a white background? What's that all about?

bulky & certainly NOT user friendly! Dec 05, 2007
We ordered this thing from MaxiAids. It's one of the few watches that will give a date announcement. However, there is NO way that this watch can be considered user friendly for those who are blind or vision impaired.

1) To force it to set to the atomic time, you have to hit S3 and then the second hand spins quickly. Excuse me? How can a blind user, (or one that needs a talking watch) see the second hand spin quickly???? The watch doesn't "speak" this little tidbit. I guess the user is suppose to "guess".

2) In order to set the alarm, you hit to hit, not one button, but 3 or 4 different buttons, and that doesn't even include the continual "hitting" of the one to get the numbers right.

3) If you actually have to go through and set the time manually, after you adjust the voice time - the watch goes silent. Why? There's no verbal clues as to what's going on. It takes a sighted person to come along and say, "the face is adjusting itself".

4) Battery life is a joke! The instructions say that if you activate the voice an average of 12-20 times per day, the battery will only last 4 months. That's ridiculous!

This is NOT a talking watch that should be used by someone who needs a talking watch!

Now let's go onto the looks of the thing. From the pictures, it looks like an attractive watch. But that's just a facade! The back of the watch is PLASTIC! Sure, that means that it's light, but it's also TACKY! When you pick up a metal watch, you expect a little bit of heft. Instead it's light - which could be nice, until you tap the plastic and hear that it's thin and weak.

While this watch is a great idea, it's poorly implemented.

When are blind and visually impaired people going to stand up and say, "give me a watch that doesn't make me look/feel like a 5 year old!"

Users need to start demanding better in this market instead of being taken for a ride by companies who profess to be doing this market a big favor with their "disposable" mentality of childish watches.

Druker make a talking watch that has a 3 year warranty! Reizen and the rest only have 3 months and yet cost the same! (I only wish that Druker had a date announcement)

Good watch, but THICK. Sep 26, 2007
Having dealt with these low vision devices for years as a visually impaired individual myself, I know that these devices are unique in ways that are exclusive to low-vision products. Basically, these devices are not well known by most of the population. Most people can run out to your local Big-Box retail chain and pick up a watch that fits their needs just fine. You don't see these items in most stores however.

Another given fact with these items is that sleak design for low-vision products may be down-right bulky to the average Joe. But this watch is slightly thick even for this type of product. It's not too heavy however. It's a solid feeling watch.

My biggest concern that is yet to be answered since I have just received this watch is battery life. I have owned other talking watches that ALMOST LITTERALLY plow through a battery in a couple weeks. This one seems to be more well-designed however. So we'll see. So far, however - this is a solid product.
