I got this watch for my mother, who has macular degeneration, and could no longer see the face of her watch.  True, it is a bit clunky, and it is NOT a fashion statement, but we didn't expect a fashion statement, and its looks are reasonable -- certainly not ugly or garish or anything like that -- and when she presses one button it tells her the time and when she presses another button it tells her the date.  It sets itself autmatically and updates itself for daylight savings time.  She doesn't try to reset anything herself and doesn't want the alarm set, so the watch fills the purpose for which we bought it -- perfectly!  We couldn't ask anything more of it.
