MASSII 19 Alarms Digital Talking Clock with Loud Voice Time Date, Auto DST, 20 Custom Reminders, 10-Level Dimmer, Sleep Trainer, Speaking Day Date Calendar Clock for Seniors Dementia- with Remote

PERFECT! Great large display clock. Shows the day, date, time of day, and time. Great for my dad who wakes up and wonders if its AM or PM. Shows afternoon, evening, night, etc on clock. Can see it from a distance (11.6" model") and glad i got the bigger one. Has multiple display modes and even an analog clock feature.

The clock was great. For approx 4 months. I ordered it on 10/19/22 and it quit working the last week or so of 2/2023. No reason why. The clock sat on my kitchen counter facing the couch where my mother sat when she visits from next door. It was a great support for her, and me—she has some dementia and frequently asks the month, the time, the date…and as a caregiver the repetitive questions can become stressful, so she began to rely on the clock and if she forgot about the clock, I could simply redirect her to the clock. Those who provide care for an aging parent or someone with dementia would appreciate the value of what may seem like a trivial matter to most. We could change the color of the font and change the time (DST) with ease. Super simple to operate and multiple choices of display layouts, colors, brightness and sizing. I didn’t use the alarm options-but I’m sure some would. Anyway, I loved my clock and now we are back to start and me trying to negotiate her to stay through dinner and meds because of the increased anxiety that diminished orientation to time can cause.Update:within just a few days of my review, the seller offered apologies and my choice of a refund or replacement. I opted for replacement. Excellent customer service. I feel much better about the purchase now. I am upgrading my review to 4 stars and if it is still working in a few months—5 stars it will be! :-)Update—1/4/24–clock still going strong! Highly recommend based on customer service and product performance.

I bought this clock for my 91 year old mom (with memory issues) and she absolutely loves it! Tells me almost every day! I hung it in her kitchen so she can see if as soon as she walks in. Easy to set up, (very bright numbers and letters) and then just plug in. I call her every morning on my way to work to remind her to take her pills and she would ask me what day it is? Now I tell her what does your clock say?

My wife and I are well into our seventies and dealing with the many adjustments that come with our age. Being well into retirement and away from the rigid scheduling of regular employment it sometimes becomes problematic to maintain a sense of passing time. While I have, so far, managed to mostly avoid the more frustrating memory difficulties, my wife has gradually progressing issues which necessitate modifications in the way we do things. While we continue to work with doctors to do everything we can to counter the effects of advancing age we also have to make whatever adjustments we can think of to deal with issues that arise. One of those has been a sense of the passage of time. She often loses track of what day or date it is and since she has me around it is easy to ask, "What day is it?" and get a ready answer from me. But often the answer doesn't register well and it can lead to the question being repeated - on occasions three or four times within an hour. While I can and do readily provide an answer, I confess that I am only human and still working on improving my caregiving skills, so that sometimes I am unable to avoid the tiniest bit of frustration creeping into my voice as I answer her for the third or fourth time. She senses this and it upsets her, which upsets me because the very last thing I want to do is make any of this more difficult for her.I thought that this calendar/clock might be helpful. Placed below our television as you can see in the picture it is clearly visible in the entire living room yet unobtrusive. Not only does it display the date, day of the week and time in a clearly readable format, but it even shows such things as "predawn" or "afternoon" so there is no confusion as to am or pm times. Initial setup was as easy as it gets and while at this point we really don't have a need for the considerable number of alarms or reminders you can set it's nice to know they are there. Likewise, it's nice to have a remote control for the device although I doubt that it will be very useful to us so it will remain in the box for now so I don't lose it. The instructions are much, much better and clearer than what is standard for most electronic devices I've encountered, which often feature English that ranges from amusing to completely indecipherable.On the subject of the available alarms, you have five pre-labled alarms (wake up, three medication reminders and a "drink water" reminder) and fifteen reminders you can customize to display unique messages with the use of a USB drive to create the messages on your computer and transfer them to the clock. While this is a nice feature, I want to suggest that the makers of this clock could make it exponentially more useful by expanding on this concept. These reminders can be set to display on a specific day of the week, every day of the week, Monday through Friday only, or weekends only. If they could simply expand this feature to include the ability to set a reminder for a specific day of the year, these reminders could be used to display birthdays, anniversaries, doctor's appointments and so forth. I would readily trade the remote control for this added feature!Even without this potential addition, I give this product a rock-solid five star rating. I was concerned that it might be too overpowering. It is not - at all. I was concerned that my wife would not receive it well. She understands the adjustments we've needed to make and is delighted with this solution. I fully expect that we'll be purchasing another one soon for use in the bedroom. Thank you for a product that has already proven its worth and solved a small but otherwise unavoidable problem for us.

I bought this product for my mother-in-law who lives in a senior facility and needs reminders of upcoming social events. The clock allows daily and weekly reminders and can also be set for one-off events on specific dates/times. It works very well - when it works.The first clock I bought worked only about two weeks when it died (on Leap Day). I returned it to Amazon and they sent a replacement unit right away - which has now been working for about 3 weeks. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for long-term working.Setting events on the clock isn't difficult but neither is the process very intuitive. I do not think my mother-in-law could set it herself so I get the calendar of events for the month and then set it up for her. I also find that it is helpful to set up events on a flash drive and then use the flash drive to enter events into the clock. The process is rather hokey because I need to create a folder on the flash drive with the event name but no content. I then plug the flash drive into the clock, import the "folder," and set the time, date, etc. This could be a lot better but it beats setting up everything on the clock itself. There is no wifi access and thus remote setting of events is not possible.Overall, the product is good value for the price - as long as it keeps working.

Works well, easy to read in daylight, great for my Mom who is 90 years old. Clock reminds her of date and day of the week.
