La Crosse Technology 513-1419-WA-INT Atomic Large Full Digital Calendar Clock, Walnut, 9.84"L x 1.14"W x 7.48"H

My husband has dementia and using an analog clock is now extremely difficult for him. A digital clock works great. I used to have a small whiteboard up next to his seating area, and I used dry-erase markers to write the day and date down for him. I found I would forget to do so now and then, but this clock does it for me. I chose the setting shown in the photo which shows the day of the week and the date. Since this clock unfortunately is not backlit, it would have been impossible for him to see if I had hung it on the wall across the room where our current traditional clock (with Roman numerals!) is hanging. Therefore, I came up with this "hack". The new digital clock hangs on the side of a cabinet next to his chair. I did not want to damage the cabinet by hammering in a nail to mount the clock, and Command hooks would make it sit at an odd angle. I wanted it to be next to his directions for using our home phone and his picture-phone intended for people with dementia. I placed two strips of sticky-back Velcro on the back of the clock and two yellow REMOVABLE sticky-back Command Velcro pieces on the cabinet. The clock now hangs neatly on the side of the cabinet and can be removed to change batteries as needed. The sticky Velcro on the side of the cabinet can be removed easily without damage to the cabinet. This clock also has a fold-out support that can be used if one chooses to have it sit on a table or nearby shelf, kind of like a table-top picture frame, but I didn't have that option. I gave it only four stars for "easy to read" because it is not backlit and hard to see in dim light. If properly placed, the numbers are large and very readable. Otherwise, it's a great clock.

Purchased this clock for my wonderful 83 year old Mom who does have difficulty remembering things. I selected this clock because it does not have a back light. Mom likes the room dark. And it is in the family room where there are night lights for safety. Mom does not object to the nightlights, but other lights are not welcomed. There are other models with backlights. The clock is easy to read and placed on a coffee table. Reasonably attractive as it does not appear to be cheap and has a nice finish on it. Mom does use the clock and mentions the date and day. This is helpful with her memory and allows her to have the information without asking. I know that sounds like a small thing to those of us with no memory loss, but it is huge for someone like my Mom. It was worth the money just for that, but priced well even without that consideration. It also does not make any noise like some wall clocks. Another plus as it does not require Mom to figure out where the noise is coming from. I followed the you tube video and had no difficulty setting it up. I waited until the change in daylight savings time to post my review. No problem with the change. So far, no need to change the battery, so I can’t really comment on that yet. If it is problem, I will update my review, but do not anticipate one because of the video instructions.

I retired about 3 years ago and have started losing track of what day it is so I bought this to help an older woman...me. The display is nice. I'm very happy with my purchase.

Nice clock. Big numbers that are easy to read. I have it on my wall so I can tell the date and time every morning. My eyes aren’t what they use to be

I was changing the batteries and realized I should add a review. Many years later, this item still deserves 5 stars for elegancy , durability and functionality. It’s also very easy to set up & easy to read. It worth every penny!

This is a great clock and lets anyone know the day, date and time. It needs to be back lit slightly because if the room is dim you cannot see it to tell the time. It did reset itself one day and the day/date was off, not sure how or why that happened. Great size, easy to set, and great value for the money.

Got this for elderly parent who is having trouble remembering what day it is... nice big, easily readable, well lit letters sets this clock apart from the others. That atomic clock thing seems like a battery killer to me, but once set, no need to leave it on. Sequentially set date and time, don't remember if I had read the directions or not, but it was easy enough, no frustration at all. This is my 2nd one, first one lasted 7 years or so, not sure if it died on its own or got dropped, but for the price, great device.

I have been very happy with this clock. Keeps time very accurately. Hase date and other other options. Very happy 😊

Wanted to have a clock which will also remind me of the day and date big enough for me to see even from afar. This item is perfect!!! Alarm clock is a bonus for me.

Amazed by the build quality...looks great

I like everything about this clock. The instructions are very good so setup was easy. It is very accurate and keeps perfect time with my cell phone. It is easy to read but as with any LCD, position is important. It is best mounted at, or near, eye level. Extreme viewing angles should be avoided. A corner table would be good or on the short wall in a room perhaps. Test it yourself before picking a spot for it. Highly recommended.

It's accurate, has nice large numbers, and is easy to read. Battery life is good. I have it hanging above my kitchen sink. I'm retired so sometimes it feels like every day is Saturday, this clock tells me it's not. I like it.

Very goo d mums very pleased with her present
