The instructions were clear. But doing the first one (sliding out the battery holder) was nearly impossible. I did wonder how many of us old people ended up in the emergency room because of a knife slipping. Or am I the only one who tries a knife in frustration at battery slots? TV remotes are just as bad. As it turned out, the mere act of pulling out the plastic insulation slip had set up the enclosed battery perfectly. I was stymied for a few minute because, after setting the time and date, the day of the week was nowhere to be found, but I discovered it came up automatically when I was finished. I then unplugged it from the outlet in the kitchen where I had been because the light was better and plugged it into a bedroom socket. I am pleased to report the battery backup worked.Today is the last day of standard time. I will be able to check tomorrow and report on whether or not the change to standard is automatic.Checked to see if it moved to Daylight Savings Time automatically. It did not, but it is very easy to set so no worries. I also learned that it could do without power all night and keep its settings, although I wouldn't want to do that too often or I might need a new batteryThe light is dimmable. It is bright enough to serve as a nightlight set at 5. Since it is in our bedroom, I have set it to 1 which is plenty light enough to see.I have not tried any of the reminder settings.

I just love this clock! I am 69 and sometimes have trouble remembering things. This clock is perfect for me and anyone that needs help with everyday tasks. It has big print and lights up so it is easy to see. It has the day of the week, if it’s morning, afternoon or night. It also has the time with am and pm. It has the month, day and year all easy to read. It has helped me so much to be able to see everyday information that I need. It is big enough that you don’t have to strain your eyes to read it. I would definitely recommend this clock to everyone.

Received one of these clocks as a gift. Liked it so much ordered another one. So now I have one on my kitchen counter top & one in my master bedroom. I do not know about you but sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night - wondering what time it is. Do not work anymore but it is nice to know you have some time left to sleep if you want to. Being retired sometimes you loose track of time if you haven't any commitments for the day! Really easy to read. Clear content. Easy to set up. Patsy

This clock has been a life savor for my mom who has issues with her memory. When she wakes up she knows exactly what time of the day it is.

No dementia in our house, but we definitely appreciate a big-face clock which includes dates as well as time.Setting it up (and changing choices) is not simple, so be sure that you have the latest version of their manual. Every choice involves multiple button pushes in the proper order.When I could not figure out how to cancel alarms (which were present when we purchased the clock), I felt very frustrated. However, the item has the customer-support email address on the back. I sent a query and customer support (in China) answered within 48 hours, including the news that they were attaching the latest version of the manual (20250122). Our clock had a 2024 manual which did not address the problem we needed to solve.With newer documentation and step-by-step instructions in the email answer, we solved the problem. For such a low priced item, I am surprised at the rapid and appropriate customer support.I would buy it again -- no dementia diagnosis needed.

Easy setup. It is loud enough to hear throughout my small home. Sets up for one time or repeat alarms. Alarm stops automatically after a couple of minutes or press any button on the back to silence alarm.

Perfect clock for someone who forgets what day it is, or are retired, so every day seems like a Saturday. Both out mom's love them.

Perfect for relieving anxiety for my mother’s peace of mind regarding day of the week.
