    Thought sharing gadgets / devices would be a good idea.

    So to start. Just bought this one for my mum, so far she is loving it. Almost immediately addressed how anxious she was over not being able to read the time anymore.
    Talking Watch with Synchronised Hands and Voice Lds (LIW411L)

    From: NCBI.IE

    Pros:
    1. Came preset.
    2. Appears easy to use.
    3. Sold as useful for vision impared, but my mother has dementia and cannot understand watches anymore.
    4. Also reads the date - day - month - year
    5. Reasonably priced.

    Cons:
    1. Button is not easy to see, but works.
    2. Instructions indicate that if you hold the button it goes into a set mode, for people with dementia this may be an issue but so far so good.
