Acctim 60553 Radio Controlled Black Leather Strap Talking Watch - W2214
Ref. 60553
Designed for people with visual impairments or low vision, this is a watch whose purpose is immediate and practical. The radio-controlled movement synchronises automatically with atomic time signals and adjusts for daylight saving without any intervention — the time announced is always correct. Pressing the upper button prompts a clear spoken English readout of the time; the lower gives the day and date. The high-contrast white dial with large black Arabic numerals means those with residual vision can also read it directly. The 16mm case depth is the honest price of packing a speaker and the supporting electronics into a 40mm case. It will sit prominently on the wrist, and anyone who wears it should know that going in — but for a watch doing this particular job, that is simply what the engineering requires.

Frequently asked questions, and things you should know about this watch
Will the glass scratch?
It can, over time. Mineral glass handles daily wear but will pick up fine scratches that sapphire would not.
Does it need a battery?
No. It is automatic — the motion of your wrist winds it, and there is no cell to replace.
Is it a men's or women's watch?
Listed as men's, though at 40mm it sits in the range that suits anyone.
