Bought a watch for my mother. She has macular degeneration. She can see the clock fairly well, but the voice alert feature for the time, date, day and year was particularly helpful when her eyesight wasn't up to the mark. I have set the language function to female. There is also a male voice if you are buying for a gentleman. While my mother is satisfied and I am satisfied with the quality. I also like that it's an atomic clock, so going from daylight saving time to standard time and back again
