This is an amazing watch. I was able to set the time by following the instructions. I think people who can't tell the time don't know what to expect. If you do everything right, the clock will take over and the hands will start turning according to the voice. Wonderful! Please be patient - it took me a while to get this right. The good thing about this watch is that it only has 2 buttons and they appear to be different. It's pretty easy. It's good for an elderly person. My mom wears it over a sweater.
