Set up is very simple with the buttons on the back and the fold out stand is satisfactory and quite sturdy. It comes with pre-installed backup batteries which means it won’t lose its settings if its disconnected (it won’t display anything without mains power though). It’s quite weighty so doesn’t slide about much and it feels substantial and well made.
The display is bright and clear with no glare and is smooth matte so doesn’t reflect overhead lights or sunlight. It’s easy to read at distance and there is no discernible flicker or pixilation. It self-adjusts the brightness of the display depending on the time of day but is still clearly readable. It’s designed for persons with a visual impairment but obviously its usefulness to them will depend on the nature of the impairment. It’s also very suitable for anyone who just wants a useful clock / calendar.
It’s worth pointing out that the time and date will not auto-set (it has no means of doing this) and it doesn’t support Daylight Savings Time which is a shame given that this is a premium item. One other niggle is the manufacturer logo on the front is a bit of an eyesore.
Even with these slight negatives, I have no hesitation in recommending this device.

We purchased this clock for my 96 year old mother-in-law. She was beginning to get confused about what day it was, and whether it was AM or PM. We wanted to get her a clock that she could easily read day or night, and would clearly spell out the time, date, and weekday. The clock did this wonderfully, as well as also indicting (spelling out) “afternoon”, or “morning”, “before dawn”, etc.
Unfortunately she passed away, only having the clock for a short time, so we ended up getting the clock back.
I had, in the past, looked for a digital clock to be used in our family room, next to the TV. I wanted something that looked half decent, and was easy to read in the light as well as in the dark. We never found one we really liked, as the ones we tried were too bright, or didn’t have a light, and always looked like old computer screen lettering.
To we tried the Day Clock. It was great. First of all, it looks PERFECT. It’s almost hard to believe that the clock screen contents change. It looks like its been painted professionally onto the screen. Secondly, it lights up, and is easy to read, and at night it dims so that it’s still easy to read the clock, without distracting from the TV.
It’s also easy to adjust. The settings are both simple, and intuitive. My wife (who rarely tries to change electronic clock times) easily changed the time, for Daylight Savings Time. This highlights the only thing that I can think of to perhaps make this clock better – a Daylight Savings Time change button.
Another nicety, is that it still keeps the time accurately, and when the power goes off, it will continue at the correct time when power is restored.
So, as you may have gathered, we are very happy with this clock, and highly recommend it – for seniors, and for the rest of us.

I bought this clock for my mother, who is succumbing to dementia and is now in residential care. I realised that without a concise summary of day, date, morning/afternoon/evening that she has no frame of reference for time or date. I particularly like the clarity of this clock’s display, and the fact that there are options for date display order, as well as 12/24 hour time. I think the quality is excellent, and the fact that the display auto-dims during twilight hours is a thoughtful touch. Prior to installing it in my mum’s room I set it up on my own desk and found the display curiously comforting in a world where every electronic device displays the time and date in mere numbers! This is a well designed and well made item, simple to set up intuitively using the on-screen menus, and that does its job quietly and efficiently.

Really impressed with everything. Quick delivery , polite emails from the company it came from and the difference it has made to our lives well worth the price. I was looking for something to help my partner , who has vascular dementia , gain a bit more control over their day to day life. What day is it ,when is an event going to happen etc were questions being asked continuously. The clear face of the clock , showing the day , time of day, time and date is in her line of vision and not only can she see what day it is it has helped with working out what is coming up. Being able to see the time has also made her more active as she just used to sit saying there was plenty of time before she did anything. Now she can see time moving faster than she thought it was. I will set the alarms for medication eventually. I do not think I really appreciated how much her loss of the sense of time etc affected her as she is now far happier being able to see it for herself. I will move it into the bedroom or buy another one when the time comes for dealing with upsets during the night and hope it helps there too.

This product was bought for an elderly relative. It works well and easy to use. The reminder bell is quite loud but would work good for those with a hearing problem. We liked it so much we also bought one for ourselves (we don’t have any visual or auditory problems) and we are younger folk. It’s great to look at the clock and know the day of the week, time of day, the date and of course the time in one glance. Great for everyone in the family!

Smashing clock will be perfect for my mum to keep track of days.
Unimpressed with packaging – clock was sent out in its original box with the label stuck on the back, box could have been easily opened there was no tape closing the box itself. luckily was not damaged in the post but as this is a present I have taken ages trying to remove the label to make the box look better for wrapping up. Really cheapskate packaging hence the loss of a star in the review. Please use a covering bag to save the box in future!!

…having paid £33.88 for this clock back in June I didn’t unpack it immediately due to some changes being made in my wife’s bedroom.
This has turned out to be a completely disastrous waste of money and a source of DISTRESS to my wife.
I bought it solely to HELP my wife who has Alzheimers/Mixed Dementia and for a few weeks it seemed OK.
Then I began to notice that it forgot the dimmer settings – which upset my wife who likes a dark bedroom and the lowest setting was OK but the brightest setting was not. Then the ‘time’ display began to fail and showed completely random numbers completely unrelated to the actual time.
This has been a disruptive experience for my wife and such products should never be sold to people with dementia – this causes more DISTRESS than it solves.
It is now unplugged and – along with other reviewers – I am disgusted that this product is not subjected to better quality control. It is after all sold under the guise of being fully guaranteed and for use in various medical circumstances/needs.
Sadly I do not recommend this product and am surprised that Amazon actually represents such expensive and yet shoddy products targeted towards Dementia sufferers.
My advice – avoid this particular product.

The clock is so simple to set up – simply plug in and go and the display pops up in a few seconds. It came with a UK plug fitted which was brilliant. When selecting this clock it appeared to have the clearest, least fussy display and my 88 year old Mum is so impressed that she can read the face from several yards away. We haven’t experimented with the alarms to act as medication reminders as yet but may have to do this in future. We told Mum this was a special present – an easy to see digital calender . There was nothing in the box saying ‘old age’ or ‘dementia’ as I checked before giving it to her. We hope this clock will be a subtle confidence-booster and help Mum to stay independent. If you are unsure if this clock is for you then do email American Lifetime – they will reply.
