CakCityMens Digital Sports Watch LED Screen Large Face Military Watches for Men Waterproof Casual Luminous Stopwatch Alarm Simple Army Watch

Bought this watch for my dad, I like the features of this watch. He is able to see the time which is good. And the date as well. Liked how it is waterproof. He doesn’t have to take it off when showering.. great product for a good price

I scoured Amazon and the internet for simple and easy-to-read watches, looking for certain features and reading reviews, which takes more time than one would like to calculate. If you want watches with bells and whistles there are millions. If you want a watch that someone with low vision and/or memory problems/dementia can read, not so many. It’s sad when you get right down to it, but I expect it’s because those not needing exotic interfaces just use their cell phone to check the time.Dad’s watch broke, so I needed to replace it. He’s 87 with diminishing eyesight, memory problems, ad encroaching dementia. Dad has 4 or 5 clocks in his room, but can’t handle not having a watch on top of all the clocks and an over-sized timer that can break your eardrums. (When we moved him out of his house, he had so many clocks it wasn’t funny, often more than one on a surface.)All I wanted was a clearly readable time, plus the date and day of the week in a hopefully reliable watch. I narrowed my search down to three watches that varied in cost from $13 to $70. We leaned toward digital because I read that as their memory got worse, people often become unable to understand the analog clock face and benefit from just having the actual time in digits.Of these three watches, two are outstanding, and one is good if the person’s vision is still good enough. I expect that all will require us to set the time if it should need changing for any reason. I’m giving Dad all three, although the first two in the list were immediate hits.Here are the watches and why I chose them:Reizen Low-Vision Ana-Digit Atomic Watch - Leather BandPros – Very easy to read analog face, atomic so it will keep itself set, digital day and date that will adjust itself correctly, battery-operated so doesn’t need winding. Dad thought it was absolutely beautiful.Cons – leather band that someone with impaired coordination can’t put on. We replaced the band with a silver and gold stainless steel twist-a-flex/expansion band. The day/date display could be larger. The directions are absolutely horrid. We’ll have to do any adjustments, as it takes us a bit to get some of it figured out. And trying to get the second hand to stop precisely on the 12, as required by some steps. Yeah, good luck with that!Men's Digital Sports Watch LED Screen Large Face Military Watches and Waterproof Casual Luminous Stopwatch Alarm Simple Army Watch - BlackPros – The first thing Dad said about this watch was that he could read it without squinting. And he’s right, just a beautiful clear bright display. Easy enough to set. Cheap; if this watch breaks easily, I could get one a month for Dad without stressing. Surprisingly enough, Dad – who’s rather conservative – may actually like this watch more than the Reizen, even though the Reizen is more attractive. I think it’s that the time is just so incredibly easy to read.Cons – Plastic band that someone with impaired coordination can’t put on and that will make some folks’ arms sweat. We replaced the band with a black stainless steel twist-a-flex/expansion band. That changed the looks of the watch immensely. It went from a plain huge hunk of plastic to a cool military type watch. So win/win for another $8 or so.Timex Men's T78587 Classic Digital Silver-Tone Stainless Steel Expansion Band WatchPros – exactly the type of interface we wanted. Simple display with date, day, and time. All digital. So far so good. The bright display background makes digits more visible, plus there’s a light. It came with a twist-a-flex/expandable metal band making it easy to put on, unlike the others which came with latched bands.Cons – the display/digits are smaller than optimum. This watch can’t be read easily by a person with low vision. That said, Dad can read it with a bit of squinting. It’s sad, because otherwise this would be the perfect watch for Dad, but the smaller display makes this the lesser of the three watches. So far, Dad likes it the least.We bought twist-a-flex/expandable metal bands at Walmart and also ordered Gilden Gents Expansion 17-22mm Black Stainless Steel Watch Band 552-B-3 on Amazon. A slip-on watch is a must for those with diminished coordination.Overall, we like all three watches and would buy them all again with the caveats above. We’re leaving all three with Dad so he can rotate through them to see which one he likes the best or just to change what he’s wearing, since he’s always loved watches.Should any watch not perform up to expectations, I will amend this review.

Love it

I like this Watch. Easy to see everyone on one screen - even without glasses. I remember the time when watches needed to be manually wound up. I can't use those types of watches be after I put it on my wrist the watch would stop working. I would then put the watch on a table, it would start working.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Works fine no fuss just tells the time alarms are handy as a back up

Comfortable, wear it every day for work. As the old saying goes ... "takes a liking & keeps on ticking!" Oh, so true!

Decent, not superb.Only lasted 2 years until major problems showed; wristband breaking, display wearing down.Tried to fix but nothing long lasting.Bought 2 of these suckers in 5 years.Will be looking for a different product.

I can't believe I'm writing this review, but I owe it to the world to be honest about something like this. I considered getting an Apple Watch. I considered getting a Fit Bit, and ultimately, I decided to get THIS instead.I considered the Fit Bit because of the Health Craze, and I considered the Apple Watch because in a former life I was a gadget freak and it's trendy to buy useless gadgets that complicate your life these days. But then I had a revelation: I don't like gadgets anymore (I've outgrown them). I HATE things that complicate my life. I wanted a watch REALLY because I wanted to SIMPLIFY my life. Pulling my phone out every time I wanted to know the time was stressing me out (my job is stressful enough without doing that every 20 minutes or so). The whole POINT of a watch is that I can leave my phone in my desk, or even at home when I don't want to be called or texted, and still know what time it is so I can make appointments. But enough about me, what about the watch?This watch does not count your steps. It does not tell you weather. It does not tell you the time in other countries or other time zones. What it does though, it does extremely well. It tells the dang time without having to read watch hands. Without having to wind. Without having to CHARGE the dang thing every night (seriously, I kept thinking about "plugging it in" and kept realizing I DON'T HAVE TO!!!). It tells you the day of the week, the day of the month, the time in 12 hour increments, and counts seconds. It also has a night glow feature that's super easy to use, and features a stopwatch and an alarm (The other reviewers are mistaken, you do NOT have to go through the time change to get back to the regular clock. Simply press the "reset" button, then press Mode and you'll jump back to the main Clock). There is a manual included, but operation is so simple you could figure it out by simply try each of the four buttons in the only four modes you have (clock, stop-watch, alarm, time set).The watch was a tiny bit long when I got it and I was able to cut the end off with a pair of scissors. And yet... the watch is incredibly comfortable, and the numbers are big and easy on the eyes even for my tired eyes, and it's dead simple to use.In other words, this watch is perfect. I've tried a gazillion wrist-watches over the years and never liked them. Hilariously I love this one, because it only does three things but does them WELL. I have no need for an alarm function right now (prefer an alarm clock and sleeping without the watch on), but the stop-watch will come in handy, and the clock is perfect for my needs. I absolutely love it and it's a pleasure to use every day.And perhaps best of all, if it ever breaks I can buy TEN of these for the price of a decent Fit Bit, and THIRTY of these for the price of an Apple Watch. I don't have to charge it, and if someone steals it I'll laugh my head off. People can laugh at me wearing a ten dollar watch, and I'll laugh at them wearing super-expensive watches that are difficult to tell the time on and will cause them to have a panic attack if they get scratched, dropped, or stolen.This is the perfect watch for me. No going back. I'd wear it even if I was a billionaire.
