I am not keen on the voice, and I have to lift the watch slightly to hear it
because of the speaker being on the underside. The buttons do get pushed
accidentally on occasions, so something like a button to disengage other
buttons would be good. Nice to have the braille as well though.
Not a bad watch, but far from perfect.

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.
