This high-quality talking watch announces the time at the touch of a button – or when you touch or tap the touch-sensitive glass. It has a Swiss movement for excellent time-keeping synchronised voice and hands adjustable volume and no recessed buttons.
To hear the time in a natural voice simply press one of the two easy-to-feel pusher buttons tap the glass twice or touch the glass for half a second. You can use fingers or if you have one hand occupied for example with a cane or guide dog your cheek to activate the voice.
Easy-to-use the hands on these watches automatically synchronise to the internal time set so there is no need to manually set the hands or to rely on someone else to help you. A spoken menu guides you if you need to set the time or date and if you want to set an alarm. (The watch also has a snooze function.)
This large contemporary talking watch has a black case; clear white face with bold contrasting black hands and numbers; and is completed with an orange soft silicone strap with contrasting white stitching.
It has an easy-to-see face and speaks the time in a natural female voice when the ‘talk time button’ (at two o’clock) is pressed or the touch-glass is activated. For example “It’s eleven twenty am”.
Please note that you need to touch a large area of the glass surface for touch activation to work for example a whole fingertip or your cheek. Tapping it with just the tip of a fingertip may not activate the touch glass. The touch glass works best when the watch is on a wrist but not so well if it’s on a table for example.
Press the ‘talk date’ button at the four o’clock position to hear the date (for example “Friday July 9th 2021”) and to adjust the volume (high/low).
The watch has a quartz Swiss movement with a metal gear and no second hand to ensure faster synchronisation of voice and hands. Because it only has two hands for hour and minute synchronisation of voice and hands is much faster than conventional movements with three hands.
Available in four colour options. You are currently viewing the black case with orange silicone strap.
