FIVE SENSES Smart Atomic Talking Watch with Voice Reminders and App Control for Seniors and Visually Impaired - A Great Gift for Blind Men and Women, Talking Watches for The Blind

I got this for my Dad - and it's absolutely perfect for him! It's more for the date (you have to press the button three times to get time, date and then month and year) but it's a great product. Not too loud as to startle, pleasant speaking voice and volume. Looks nice too! Plus I can update or change it within minutes of connecting it to my phone. Simple wee app, uncomplicated. I was impressed with the welcome email and the speedy response with a query. Couldn't recommend this high enough!!

My father has Frontotemporal Degeneration and has started fidgeting with his old watch, constantly messing up the time, then getting confused as to what time it is. It has become a problem due to him arguing with us on what time it is and constantly confusing himself after compulsively adjusting the crown on his old watch. I am thankful to have come across this type of watch, which does not include an adjustment crown for him to fidget with. The quality reflects the price of the watch, which is satisfactory and more than enough for his needs. The important features of this watch is that you can adjust the time with a mobile app as opposed to the watch itself, essentially preventing him from messing up the time when he fidgets with it. While I know there is a way to manually change the time on the watch itself, thankfully it requires just enough extra steps to prevent him from figuring out how to do it himself (at least so far). The app is installed on my mothers phone, where she can control the time as well as set alarms for him, which is a useful feature. Please note that any time you wish to set slarms or set the time using the app, you must pair the app with the watch. This makes sense because if the watch and app were always connected, the watch battery would likely not last very long. Pairing the mobile app with the watch was simple enough, as I was able to walk my mom through it over the phone. I hope its durable enough to last the remaining years we have with him.

I recently purchased the Five Senses Smart Atomic Talking Watch With App and found it to be a good purchase for visually impaired people. It has several positive aspects. In the Eastern Time Zone of the United States, radio communications with the standard atomic clock station WWVB in For Collins Colorado is problematic. With other atomic watches, the synchronization is successful about 50% of the time. Particularly during bad weather or times of solar activity, synchronization is difficult. This is why the use of the smart aspect of this watch is essential. With the synchronization with the smart phones as a back up, you can almost always be sure that your watch is keeping the correct time. As far as the interface with the app on the smart phone, it works quite well with the VoiceOver screen reader that is part of the built in accessibility on the Apple iPhone. It took me less than fifteen minutes to figure the app out and how to synchronize it with the smart watch. All in all I rate this watch with five stars and recommend it to any visually impaired person seeking an easy to use and affordable talking time device. I keep getting requests to do reviews from the seller. so I have nothing to add other than I have had the watch for several months now and it still works great!

Brilliant watch. Easy to use once set up (Everything is done via a phone app) and off you go. Tells the time not only with hands but also by pressing a button that then says the time out loud. Press again and it tells you day and date. Great for when you wake up in the middle of the night and dont want to wake your partner by turning on the light to see the time. You can also set alarms (again via the app) to remind you to take your meds etc. Customer service is good and responsive too Only 2 down sides; You cant increase the voice volume, and the ANNOYING american voice that is used for the announcements. Would have been nice to have option to choose voice a la sat navs. Apart from those 2 niggles buy it, you wont be disappointed.

Very handy for dementia issues.
