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, Marcie Brink-Chaney CVRT Michigan Commission for the Blind Detroit Office E-mail: brink-chaneym@xxxxxxxxxxxx Phone: (313)456-1643 Fax: (313)456-1645 -----Original Message----- From: visionrehabtherapist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:visionrehabtherapist-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of McInnis, Janet (DELEG) Sent: Sunday, August 09, 2009 10:26 PM To: visionrehabtherapist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx 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!
