Hi Janet,
I can't promise that you won't have trouble with this, however, I got it
this morning and it has a clear quite understandable male voice. It has
a gold band and is a one button watch (a button for the time and the
stem to set the time on the face. It does not have an alarm on it, if
you need that. This comes from Maxi Aids.

Unisex Gold One Button Talking Watch Item#: 702252 $24.95 

Hope this helps,

Subject: [visionrehabtherapist] talking watch question, and overall
disappointment with quality of items available

Is anyone able to recommend a talking watch that has a male voice (for a
hearing aid user) that was similar to the "tel-time 2000" model that is
no longer available?  This particular model was unique in that it did
not have the rooster crowing alarm option, rather, it states the time
and beeps...
I have had a string of very unsatisfactory purchases from well known
catalog companies of different products that were not working out of the
box.  I have found that spending extra on items does not necessarily
translate into better quality. 
Sending items back is a tremendous chore, however, I am no longer going
to accept the junk, and I have really received some junk that I think
the folks should be embarrassed to send out, but, I digress.
Any help with a watch recommendation is much appreciated!
Janet in Michigan
