My grandmother just turned 93 years old and unfortunately she has a pretty serious case of Macular Degeneration. Everything she sees is just a big blur. One of her daughters purchased her a larger watch that she wore around her neck. It was actually really beautiful but eventually her eyes progressed past even being able to read that watch. So I figured I would do some research and see if I could find anything that would help her in this regard as she is constantly asking what time it is when we visit her and it frustrates her that she is unable to see what time it is. Anyways, I came to Amazon and this watch was one of the first things I came across during my search. It sounded perfect as its only requirement is being able to hear and fortunately my grandmother's hearing is still very good. I immediately ordered it.

The watch itself is incredibly easy to set and its able to speak the time, day, date and year, which is really nice because my grandmother also asks what day it is a lot of the time. All she has to do now is press a button. I was initially worried that it might not be loud enough but that is certainly not the case. The volume is perfect. In fact, I can clearly hear it from 10-15 feet away. On top of that the watch itself looks very nice and it has a band that makes it extremely easy to take on and off. That is perfect for her as her hands shake a lot and I have no doubt she would have a hard time with a regular watch strap. This band allows her to take if off and put it back on without any problem whatsoever.

As for her reaction to it, to say that she loves it would be a massive understatement. She has now thanked me well over 30+ times. In fact, it seems like every time we go over there she is thanking me for buying it. If I had known this watch existed I honestly would have purchased it years ago. Its basically giver her back the ability to follow the time, day and date and has ultimately taken away one of her biggest frustrations. Its important to note that the buttons are very easy to push and she has no problem whatsoever operating this watch. I was worried about that as well as again her hands shake a lot and her coordination isn't what it used to be. Again, she has no problem operating this watch.

Bottom line - This watch is worth every last penny and then some. It looks great, is easy to take on and off, and most importantly it gives people with eye problems the ability to tell time again. In all honesty, this watch would be worth it even if the cost was double. If you have a family member or friend that is having trouble telling time than you should definitely give this watch a try. I cant possibly give this watch a higher recommendation.

5 Stars!
