Here's a must for any blind person! Whenever you tap the button on the side of this talking watch; a clear female voice will read the time to you. By pressing one more button; you can turn the Hourly Time Announce feature on or off. And at the touch of a few more buttons; you can set a beeping alarm to wake you. Perhaps best of all; every feature of this watch is totally accessible by a blind person. It's a piece of cake to tell whether the alarm is set to go off - and when; and to check if Hourly Report is toggled on or off. You can also set it to speak the time in either 12-hour or 24-hour military style. And of course; the watch has a large LCD display; and a fully adjustable plastic strap - meaning it can fit kids and adults alike. So; whether you're buying this attractive; nicely-boxed talking watch as a special treat for yourself or a friend; it's sure to be a practical tool that'll be used all the time! (Uses one CR2016 battery; included.)
