What it is
Summary
AI-generated from vendor-published content · April 26, 2026
This is a wristwatch that announces the time and date aloud when you press a button, using a male voice — so you don't need to read the watch face at all. It's designed for someone with low vision, blindness, or limited hand dexterity who wants to know the time without squinting at small hands or numbers. The atomic (radio-controlled) feature means it automatically corrects itself for daylight saving time and after battery changes, so once you set your time zone, you're essentially done with setup forever. The watch only covers the four standard US time zones, so it won't work well for travelers outside the continental US.

- Set your time zone (Eastern, Central, Mountain, or Pacific) using the watch controls — a one-time step covered in the included instructions.
- Optionally enable the hourly chime and talking alarm to your preference. Allow up to a day for the watch to sync with the Colorado radio signal automatically.
