Talking Big Digit Watch

The Lifemax Talking Big Digit Watch is brilliant The trouble with the more expensive talking watches like all taking watches is the talking feature runs the battery down very quickly, and then you have no way of changing the battery so that is the end of the watch. The Lifemax Talking Big Digit Watch only costs a little more than £10 and comes with an instruction book that has an address you can send it to to have a new battery put in if you wish for £10 plus postage, obviously it cheaper to buy a new watch that comes post free. The talking feature is loud and crystal clear. It also has a taking date and 4 alarms, the time can be set to 24 hour or AM PM , and there is a talking stopwatch, and its all simple and easy to do. It has four press buttons that are so responsive they are almost touch sensitive making using the watch easy and a delight to use. Plus a very large time display that shows time seconds and day. Overall it’s the best and cheapest talking watch but of such high quality I’ve come across.

great to be able to set 4 separate alarms. when speaking, it is clear and easy to understand a little fiddly to set up if you have arthritic fingers - but persevere it is worth it wish it had a better strap - plastic one on previous one split

The watch is your standard digital display with large numbers and has a voice which allows the user who cannot see the display to tell the time. The voice is female and clear to understand, the watch easy to set up and has date, time, stopwatch and four alarm functions so has a wide range of uses. I bought mine for a friend in church who has some sight, but is classed as blind. Unfortunately at the time of writing I haven't been able to deliver the gift, but hope to this Sunday evening (9/1/2011), providing she manages to get an escort to bring her down. In all a budget buy that far exceeds expectations.

Well, at first sight I was very hopeful this watch would be fit for it's purpose. But, alas it let it's self down because whilst it has a nice clear face and large numerals which are easy to see, there is no back light for night time viewing. The talking feature does not work for me because it is not clear enough to hear without repeating it several times and you really don't want to be disturbed at night trying to hear the time over and over again. Good try, but it needs improving.

Sold as a ladies watch..every one who has seen it has said it looks a bit big ?? Reply from my partner is " well I need to be able to see the time !" it is very easy to read the time simple to use the setting even with out the book ! the button at " 2 o'clock" is easy to find to hear the time. My partner prefers to use this rather than read the time. I would say it is not your average ladies watch because it is not a fashion statement. but saying that it is a smart watch well designed and does look good It really does what it was bought to do ...Says the time! it works well does its job and seems very robust and reliable . It has handled already a bit of abuse and bad treatment . I was impressed with it from day one . For the money it is superb . I was not really sure if my partner would use it as it is for someone with a "life difficulty " she is proud and a little embarrassed to admit her problems. This watch over comes one of her problems and helps her in daily life . So this watch is fit for purpose, does its job and exceeds my expectations. Overall I would recomend this watch my mother has one but not this one . Hers cost a lot of money and is small and she has to fiddle with it to hear the time this one is great easy to use and once people see and hear it ask "where did you get that?? " my partner is glad to say "amazon "! go get one for your self they are great !!

This is not easy to see the time if partially sighted , I found meself moving me wrist to get light on the face to see the time , not very good , it appears to be sat to far back off the face to get a clear view , and listening to the time well it's not very good either, Cant rely on it telling you the time and cant see it too good , so saying big watch it ain't big enough for me , watch it self is ok , no probs with time just not for me ,

I bought this watch to wear for gardening and DIY. For the price it is a good buy. However, I find that the voice (American adenoid English) is often indistinct. Others I've asked to listen, agree, but I know other reviewers find it acceptable. The digital display is good and large, and being able to set up to 4 alarms for daily medication is a plus. The watch is rather bulky and the strap, at least at first, is rather stiff. I also have a Lifemax atomic analogue talking watch which has a 'cultured' English (British) male voice which is VERY clear. The analogue face is easy the read, and the watch is lighter to wear. The atomic time signal ensures accurate time, day, date, month, and year. If you want only one accurate talking watch, and can afford the extra cost, I consider it a better buy,

Bought this for my husband when his sight was not 100% He always wore a watch and this helped him keep in touch time and date wise. Very clear , and functional.

ho ordinato questo prodotto inquanto disabile visivo, la prima volta nonostante io abbia provveduto a sostituire la batteria a mie spese, ho dovuto restituirlo perché non funzionante. Quando mi è arrivato nuovamente il prodotto, sostituito, nuovamente ho dovuto sostituire la batteria a mie spese e questa volta ho scoperto che l'annuncio vocale dell'orologio era in lingua inglese. Io oggi mi chiedo come sia possibile che accadano queste cose e soprattutto su prodotti che ovviamente vengono utilizzati da persone affette da disturbi visivi. Ritornando al prodotto in questione non posso esprimere alcuna valutazione per le motivazioni di cui sopra. Spero soltanto di ricevere piena soddisfazione da AMAZON per quanto sopra descritto

Es como lo había imaginado. Me hubiese gustado que la caja de presentación fuera más bonita pues el reloj está muy bien y la caja le desmerece.

Fonctionne très bien, 4 alarmes programmables par jours, top horaire à la demande, très bonne visibilité, gros chiffres, son un peu fort, simple à utiliser, bracelet un peu rigide, rapport qualité/prix excellent, ne regrette pas mon achat!

Bought for my grandfather

A simple watch for everyday use with comfortable bracelets, prominent numerals and clear voice
