New talking watch
Very easy to set up and not have to worry about getting the time base from Colorado. Only 2 buttons and whole thing has multiple alarms set up by the app. Battery is much easier to replace. Only minor complaint is that the time and date is split into three pushes. I would have liked the time on one push and the date on the second push. In all much better than earlier model!

A Great Purchase For Visually Impaired
I recently purchased the Five Senses Smart Atomic Talking Watch With App and found it to be a good purchase for visually impaired people. It has several positive aspects.In the Eastern Time Zone of the United States, radio communications with the standard atomic clock station WWVB in For Collins Colorado is problematic. With other atomic watches, the synchronization is successful about 50% of the time. Particularly during bad weather or times of solar activity, synchronization is difficult. This is why the use of the smart aspect of this watch is essential. With the synchronization with the smart phones as a back up, you can almost always be sure that your watch is keeping the correct time.As far as the interface with the app on the smart phone, it works quite well with the VoiceOver screen reader that is part of the built in accessibility on the Apple iPhone. It took me less than fifteen minutes to figure the app out and how to synchronize it with the smart watch.All in all I rate this watch with five stars and recommend it to any visually impaired person seeking an easy to use and affordable talking time device.I keep getting requests to do reviews from the seller. so I have nothing to add other than I have had the watch for several months now and it still works great!

An Affordable Watch for Alarms and Talking Reminders
This watch was ordered to help me keep track of time is daily scheduling. It was fairly easy to set up with my Android smart phone. You do need a phone with Bluetooth capability and download the 5 Senses app to use this watch.Comments about my experience with the 5 Senses Watch:It is easy to read in normal lighting. A nice addition would have been for both the watch hands and numerals to glow in the dark so in dim lighting you can still see the time.I like that there is a selection of messages you can set to hear at the time you designate. I would have liked to have had other choices that were not related to sleep, water, or medication. There is no feature to record your own message.This watch came with a battery and also a spare battery in the package. The battery in the watch was at about 50% according to the app. I like that it came with an additional battery.The back is attached with screws so replacing the battery requires a micro screwdriver to open it. You may want to take this watch to a jeweler to replace the battery if you either don't have the tool or the close up vision to make the switch.This watch states it assists the hearing impaired. It is loud enough to where you can hear it across a small room BUT it is not loud enough for those who are severely hearing impaired. If you have minor hearing loss, It may be loud enough. If someone has to stand next to you and yell in your ear for you to hear them....you will not hear this watch.If you are looking for a watch that functions like an I iWatch you will be disappointed. If you are looking for a simple watch that gives some basic assistance with time/tasks with audio reminders...it works fine.I gave this product 5 stars because it works at a basic level as described. The price point is also reasonable for the functions it provides. =D

Significant downsides but still has no Equal
I bought this talking watch because I personally thought the voice was alot clearer than the the others on the market. The woman says the time quite crisply I've always been able to tell what time she said some talking watches you have to listed to the time multiple times because of the terrible low quality recording and speaker. It let's you setup pill reminders which is nice but there's only a few different voice line options and most are repetitive. It's still a useful feature to be able to set alarms.There's no volume setting which is slightly annoying. I mean it's loud enough but it would be nice if it really went high. That's a problem alot of these watches have though.The watch instructions say but the first thing you need to do is download the app and follow the instructions there. It's only a few button presses and then the watch automatically sets the right time, after you've set the time and alarms you no longer require Bluetooth and everything is saved to the watch ( a very big positive).The watch face is better than the pictures in my opinion, the metal bezel looks nice unfortunately its surrounded by a cheap plastic frame. The watch doesn't scream premium. Alot of talking watches don't have inspired designs though and this one's functionality puts it ahead of the competition. Only 2 buttons too so nice and simple.It comes with an extra battery and promises to be Replaceable which is good. I am worried about how long that software will be supported though. In 10 years if there's no app how will you set the time? And on the inside of the watch I spotted a small amount of corrosion. QA should investigate.So then you might think I'd give a negative review, those are substantial points, the watch looks cheap and the software requirement makes it a potential brick in the future. But I still think the trades off are worth it here, you get the clearest voice of any talking watch, and an alarm system, it automatically sets the time (and is reset in app) and can setup alarms for pills, ect. These are functions that other talking watches don't have, and also at a similar price of 39.99 (at the time). So for the kind of person who needs one of these (elderly, people with alzimers, sight impaired) this watch is actually very good and ticks off the boxes on what they need vs their competition. The alarm setting alone actually puts this watch leagues above it's competitors. And so you need a talking watch I'd recommend this one.

Great purchase
The first watch I got was defective...never held correct hour. Amazon quickly replaced it, and the 2d one is perfect....connected easily, and works great...love it! One jarring item is the description of the battery in the online articles and specs list....one place says it is a 123A, another says it is a 2023, when the actual battery, a spare included, is a 2032....someone needs a better proofreader!
