Talking Watches for the Legally Blind
My husband has worn a talking wrist watch for over 20 years. The simple little talking watch is a small piece of equipment, but perhaps the most important of all the products for the blind. His talking watch keeps us all on schedule, allows him to plan his day, and keep up with his schedule and meetings. We are thankful to the inventors of this extremely helpful product.
You will find a full selection of talking watches here -- from the one that we use to some of the finest talking watches available.
Choose your favorite! Some products on this page are from our favorite website Independent Living Aids. We have purchased from ILA for years, and have been 100% pleased with their prompt service and quality products! Thank you, ILA!
Men's Talking Watch with 4 Alarms
Men's 4 Alarm Talking Watch and Date
Amazon Price: $21.95 (as of 02/13/2012)![]()
This masculine and practical talking watch has four alarms, an hour time announcement option, tells the time and the date, and includes a talking stopwatch. Band is adjustable stainless steel.
Whitey's Talking Watch
Men's Economy Talking WatchA speaker located on the face of this watch makes it a bit louder and clearer. The mode button is recessed, so that it cannot be accidentally activated. Has an alarm and hourly announcements.
My husband has settled on this type of talking watch-- he likes it best. It is one of the less expensive ones. We order 2 or 3 at a time so he always has a spare! Yes, you can change the batteries, but the buttons in the less expensive ones do wear out after about 8 months of constant use.
When the watch wears out, we take the old watch and the new watch to a jeweler here in town, and he switches the band to my husband's favorite old watch band.
PS - Yes, Whitey broke his finger -- at our six year old grandson's birthday party. Grandpa forgot his own age and tried to climb an inflatable ladder /sliding board that was part of the party!! (some of us never grow up!)
and yes, he is "looking" at his watch for me to take the photo. but no, he does not have to see it to hear it. :) He thought that would be a funny pose!
Remove your talking wrist watch when going to church, weddings or funerals. Or learn how to mute the sound.
Lady's Gold Tone Talking Watch
Ladies Gold Tone Talking WatchAn ILA exclusive - talking watches with only one exposed button. For those who simply want to tell the time, without an alarm function or an every-hour-on-the-hour announcement. Features a gold tone case with a white face and easy to see black numbers.

Ladies Gold Talking Watch Pendant
Ladies Gold One Button Pendant Talking Watch with Gold Chain
Amazon Price: (as of 02/13/2012)![]()
Ladies who need a talking watch also want a beautiful watch. This pendant serves both purposes. A clear male voice announces the time. Chain is 28" long. Lovely to wear.
Do you know someone who would enjoy a talking watch?

- I definitely would. When I wake up in the morning, I'd love to be able to just push a button and hear the time instead of getting up to turn the light on.

- My daughter is blind. She has a talking watch, but she does not like wearing it. I think she might enjoy one she could carry in her pocket. They do make these also I think. Nice lens!

- My sister, well you know Shelly, used to work with developmentally disabled adults and the talking wrist watch was wonderful in helping people be independent in knowing the time. The mute is great for those times you need it.

- Another great lens with information about a product that I had never heard of that would be extremely helpful for people with visual impairment. Blessed by the Healthy Living Sr. Citizens Neighborhood Squid Angel.

- Another great lens on a well need product. Helping people have independent living is such a pleasurable and rewarding experience, I'm glad there are products like this to help give people some more of the freedom they lose when affected by blindness. My sister is partially blind and has a talking clock, (like on your "Alarm Clocks That Talk!" lens) and has found this helps her immensely. Lensrolled to our "Adaptive Clothing - Dress with dignity, dress with pride, dress with confidence." lens.

- These watches are a real help for the visually impaired! What does the voice sound like? We had an old Maxima that talked when the gas was low,or the keys were in the car, or lights were on and more, too! The care was made in Japan!
