Are the size of the numerals (time) larger than 3", is this a great item for vision impaired? Or suited for a business? Your opinion?

Not sure of the numeral size exactly, but they are very large and clear. The clock is well suited for either the elderly or a business. We gave it as a gift to an elderly Alzheimer's patient who was having difficulty keeping up with the time of day/day of the week. It was a great solution.

No, not larger than 3". They are approximately that size. We bought this for my mother who has mild dementia and has trouble remembering the day and date. Probably good for a business, definitely good for vision impaired.

No. The numbers for the time are 1 3/4". But they light up so brightly that my dad can see them perfectly. It's great for the vision impaired.

No, the screen isn't backlit, and there is no way to make it light up, at least as far as I can tell. The numbers are kind of dim; I think people with poor eyesight would have a problem reading them. I got this stopwatch because it was the least expensive and simplest I could find, but it doesn't have the niceties of a more expensive one. It suits my needs, but you might want to look for something better. Good luck!

Not that I recall. I got this for my 89-year-old mom and she says it works well, allowing her to see what time it is when she awakes at night. She can read it across the room without her glasses. I haven't seen the clock myself as she lives in another city.

Yes. I am legally blind, and have no difficulty using the scale. It would be very helpful to you to have a sighted person read the instructions before you use it.

I'm not sure about that. I bought it for a friend's sister who is legally blind and I don't have her phone #; besides she would not be able to answer the question. Sorry, hope you find your answer!

That depends a little on the individual, I guess, but I'm well past my prime, and I can read it. I would not call the screens "well lighted." The lettering is easy to read. I wouldn't mind if they were a little brighter. The background is green, as in the picture, and the lettering is black. My eyesight is not as good as it once was.

I don't know the answer to that question. I purchased the watch for my 36-year-old son who is blind. I was not present when he chose the language setting.

The number screen for the time is a little under an inch tall - and yes, it does light up in the dark - and moreover, stays lit during the day-time hours as well. Hope this helps.

Yes, I believe so. I purchased the clock for my mother who is 91 and legally blind. There is one button on top to push. The button is white against a black background which is also helpful if there is some vision. She LOVES it! Even the face of the clock is very plain and reminiscent of clocks as she remembers/thinks of them.

There is no stated warenty time in literature with watch. As an owner, I am satisfied. I had one watch that had a problem when it arrived and was replaced right away, at no charge. These watches are great for vision impaired but are not seikos. Expect to replace them every two years or so. Still worthwhile.

its big. I cant tell you the size in numbers, but I can clearly read it without my glasses on. But the service is the best part, unlimited for a low monthly fee.

Yes, the display only shows 2 parameters at the time, so the digits are quite big. Is not like other models that fill the display with multiple parameters but none are readable. I would say the uper digits are the size of half inch and the lower digits are bigger than a 3/8"

Yes, and you can also set it so each hour it will announce the time, it is great for anyone who has hearing or sight issues

I no longer have the box so don't know what it says. I bought one for my mom who *is* visually impaired but there is no way she could see what is on there to do the setting of it herself. So I would have to say that it is not actually good for the visually impaired at all. I don't even think she can see the red light on hers. As a result, she doesn't use it.

Since my Mother age 96 is losing her sight we ordered this. It helps her but there is no turntable which we had never used anyway. But there are no groves to help hold the letters so that makes it difficult as they slide and she cannot see if an ajacent space is open. My opinion is that a larger sized board implies a special need and should have all deluxe features for the sight impaired. The grids and the turntable. The larger letters help and we can still play. I wish the manufacturers knew this

No. They wiukd not be big enough to be clear to read. Good for use for 1-2 players of all bells at same time.
