Excellent talking watch.
A very nice watch! The numbers could be a bit larger, And the watch band was a bit too tight for me, but it was easily swapped out. Other than that I really enjoy it!

Not very sensitive receiver and marginal for the visually impaired
The first watch seemed to run OK for a couple of days then started to do all manner of strange things like the hands not agreeing with the spoken time.Got it replaced and the second one has been running OK for a week or so now.But the receiver is not very sensitive and sometimes does not update the watch. I have 5 other WWVB clocks here, none of which have any problems updating so I know the signal here is OK. Also the watch is symmetrical, which means for the visually impaired it is difficult to put on with the correct orientation. This could have been avoided if the buttons had been arranged a little differently so one could tell which way is up by feel.

It is fine.
This is a good watch for a lady. Most of the watches I have received in the past were large faced and wide banded.This watch is lightweight and has a relatively thin exspantion band.This watch comes with a 2nd band if you prefer pu leather and a buckle.The voice is a bit slower speaking than others I have had, but it is clear and of good volume.Note: After setting the time zone, give the watch a moment to get the satellite signal and allow the hands to reach the correct time. You won't be able to hear the time until the hands reach the correct position.

Plain looking watch with small expansion band, that tells you the time and date.
The Hearkent Talking Watch could be handy for someone with limited or no vision. I am having some vision issues and thought it would be nice to be able to hear what time it was.The watch itself is very basic. It is more utilitarian than nice looking. It is not overly attractive. But it gets done what it needs to. The expansion band is not very big. I don't have overly large wrists, about 7" and it is very tight on me. It does come with another strap that has a buckle.The voice that announces the time, or the date, is not adjustable. The voice is not very loud. If a person was deaf and blind this probably wouldn't work for them. I am glad that the voice is not obnoxiously loud, but some people may not find it loud enough.It is an atomic watch, so if you put it into the correct time zone the watch will set itself. It is fun watching the hands spin around the clock to get to the right time.

Perfect gift
I gave this watch to a resident where I work, she has a hard time with her eyesight and the voice activated watch works perfect for her.

Daylight savings nightmare
I bought this watch for my blind 90+year old mother. We live in Arizona and do not have daylight savings time in the summer. There seemed to be no way to set the watch and not have it change twice a year to the incorrect time in Arizona with daylight savings.Also a little less than user friendly in the first place to set up. Only offers four time zones. (Do not buy this if you live in Hawaii which also doesn't use daylight savings).Sent the watch back.No way a visually impaired person could set this up either.

No volume control
The voice is clear but not adjustable. Too low for an elder with a hearing loss. My mother-in-law law was disappointed.

My Mom loves it
As an old woman with limited sight she can sometimes see the bright number, but love it to talk the time
