I have a relative who has dementia.  This item helps the person to discover on their own the date and day of the week besides the time.  I've still had to prompt the user but it has turned out to be a great help.  also, the user is pleased to be able to find out the day info with little help from others.  I am pleased to be able to praise the person and use this to give positive encouragement to their life.  bought 1 or 2 other watches before this one.  and, this one turned out to be the best.
