Hi Brian,To be honest, sadly, I wouldn't recommend this watch to anyone. Yes, perhaps I've just had a bad one, but mine was finally replaced, for which I'm very thankful, but to that point (well over a year) I hardly got any wear out of the thing.
The voice is female and not bad, but its speaker is in the bottom part of the watch, nearest your wrist, so you can find the watch quiet if resting very snugly on the wrist. I also find it's not a good idea to wear the watch if you're hunting in drawers as its buttons can easily get knocked.
BTW: Others really like this watch a lot.I like the simplicity of the alarm set, which is why I wanted it in the first place and it is the one reason I keep wearing it.

Hi Carol, I had seen these online recently and was interested in getting one. can I ask you what is the voice like? I know its personal preference, but how do you find it?

(I am interested to know if the mechanism for the handsis controlled by a separate battery from the speech.) Any help would be most welcome. I know the instructions say "battery" but the hands on my watch are not going round, whilst the speech is fine. -- Carol carol.pearson29@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx On Twitter: http://twitter.com/songbird49a ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
