What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026

This chrome pocket watch tells you the time two ways: you can read it on the white dial, or press a button and hear a clear male voice say it. The dial has large black numbers, bold hour and minute hands, and a sweeping second hand, so it works if you have some sight left or none at all. The talking time is set separately from the hands using small buttons on the side, so you'll want to match the two once. It also has an alarm with three sounds (beeps, chimes, or a cuckoo) and a chime you can turn on or off. The face is about 1-5/8 inches across, and it comes on a 12-1/2 inch chain with a clip.
