Review on ⌚ TimeOptics Women's Talking Two-Tone Day Date Alarm Expansion Bracelet Watch: Stylish and Functional Timepiece for Modern Women by James Wilson

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Rare but necessary functions, like setting the time, are difficult to perform but otherwise very enjoyable.

This otherwise handsome watch has a fatal flaw for elderly visually impaired users - setting the time isn't easy. It's unintuitive and requires a pen or other pointed object to press the recessed button to change the time/date/alarm. OK - I know that once the time/date is set, this one button control becomes a breeze for anyone. But twice a year, most parts of the US change to Daylight Saving Time, and my 93-year-old mother can't seem to begin to skip forward or back down (retire especially). I'm seriously considering returning it but not sure if another talking watch would offer a better solution. Once installed it's almost impossible to go wrong, so I see the benefit of this design. Hey watch designers, they have a crown so why not use THIS to change the time like any other watch does? This is only for setting the clock back to 12:00. ?!?!? For real? Other than that, and I mean it, it's a nice watch and easy to use. Setting the time is a major challenge and no elderly person with dexterity, hearing and/or sight will be able to do it.

Pros
  • Quick Change
Cons
  • Weak Set
