Talking watches are useful for anyone with impaired vision. Cataracts, macular degeneration and diabetes, among many other conditions, can cause older people to become visually impaired.

For those affected, a talking watch offers crucial assistance by providing an audible time update when the button is pressed.

They resemble a standard watch with an extra button. Press this, and the watch tells you the time.

Prices start from under £10, with most options costing less than £50. The ladies’ one featured is £35 (price correct at the time of writing).

Don’t Like Watches?

For anyone who finds wearing a watch uncomfortable or difficult to put on/take off, the Memo 24 is a good alternative.
