DreamSky Large Digital Alarm Clock Big Number for Seniors/Visually Impaired

This is the perfect alarm clock for me. Simple in design. You just plug it in. It's easy to set the time. You see the numbers very clearly, they are very large. I got the black one with the white letters. My eyesight is not the best and I always had trouble reading my last alarm clock (plus the numbers faded over time). This one is nice and bright and I can clearly see the time, even across the room. The settings for the light allow you to very easily make it very bright, or adjust it all the way to dim or off. I leave it on very bright during the day and at the halfway setting for night. I recommend it, especially if you have any kind of eyesight problems, or not. I have actually not used the alarm part yet, but it looks easy enough.

Dimmable light, giant letters, easy setup, what's not to love? If you want to know what time it is at a glance, whether day or night, this clock is for you!

I bought this clock for my father who has vision issues, thus he has trouble seeing the numbers on a clock. The numbers on this clock are perfect for him, nice and large, while the Blue lighting of the numerals show up well and don't have any glare. He loves it and says that he can read it much easier than the last clock he had been using. He likes to be able to see it from his recliner, lol, so I would say he is about 10 feet from the clock, and has no problem seeing it---for reference, he is 84yo, with particularly poor vision in his left eye, and this clock is great. Anyone with better or regular vision would have no trouble seeing the numbers.

I bought this large number clock for my 87 yo mom. She absolutely loves it! She can see it clearly from across the room.My husband liked it so much I bought him one too. He can also see it from across the room.Neither of them have room on their nightstands for anything else and this clock is a bit wide (side to side) hence placing them across the room.It’s very easy to set the time. The numbers are blue and very large. The price is very reasonable. So far they are both very pleased!

The clock has dimmable numerals which is a great feature. Red numerals do help bedroom stay darker at night than did our old clock which had very bright blue-green numerals. The 3” numerals are quite visible from anywhere in room. Another feature is that the clock can be set to read either 12 or 24 hour time but both are accessed with the same button. I did have some difficulty figuring out how to initially set the clock. At first setting, over the course of the day the time display seemed to switch between 12 and 24 hour time. Then I realized that for hour time there are both AM and PM markings on the display. Once AM and PM are properly displayed at setting the 12 hour time display works fine. This plastic clock is about 9” long, lightweight and makes no noise. It comes with a sheet of instructions.

a couple of years ago i purchased what i thought was a large clock like this for my living room. couldn't read the small clocks on the tv/dvr/cable box. best thing i ever did. that product literally wore out. bits of lite ultimately went dark, clock was losing a bunch of time and just not acceptable, and unreadable during the day, so i purchased this clock. knew it was larger, but it is huge! twice the size/brightness/ and viewing ability of the old one. numerals must be 4", are big, bold and can easily be read from clear across the room. great nite light as well. have it cranked up to max on the brightness wheel and i am really wondering why i waited to purchase this product.

I had originally ordered the smaller version of this (DS312), and was underwhelmed with its size, but overwhelmed with its features. Though I am keeping and using the smaller one, I ordered the larger one for a spare. See the comparison picture. This one is 8-1/2" wide X 1-1/2" deep, and the digital read-out is 3" high with a robust bright blue that really stands out and I can see it without my glasses. The box, instructions and warranty card lend itself to the whole presentation, as this seems like a nice quality clock. The approach to the technology behind it is fairly simple compared to some. There are 4 buttons on the back. Because it's larger, it differs from its little brother, in that all the buttons are not the same size. In this one, the two middle adjustment buttons are smaller, I guess to differentiate them from the other two buttons.The second from the left, is the 12/24 HR button, which toggles back and forth from standard to 24-hour military time. When it is on the standard setting, after 12 Noon, it will display a 1/4" high "PM" in the upper left corner of the display on front.The second from the right, is the AL ON/OFF button and when you push it to engage the alarm, in the middle at the bottom, a "bell" icon will be displayed. When the alarm sounds, you can snooze it by touching the sensor at the top, and the bell icon will blink, and the it will go off again in 9 minutes. You can turn it off by pressing ANY of the four buttons in the back. Absolutely awesome! That beats trying to find just the right button in the dark. And, the cherry on top of the cake, is when you turn it off, it is automatically set for the next day. It doesn't get any better than that. The alarm will sound for only two minutes then stop if no action is taken. If the alarm is engaged, you press this button to disengage it, and the bell icon on the front disappears.The first, on the left, is the Time Set button. You long press it once to change the hour, using the 2nd button (12/24 HR) to move the time forward, and the 3rd button (AL ON/OFF) to move the time backward; the press it again to set the minutes. Then press it again to lock it in, and leave that mode.The first, on the right, is the ALARM SET button. If you short press it, it gives you the time the alarm is set for. You long press it once to change the hour, using the 2nd button (12/24 HR) to move the time forward, and the 3rd button (AL ON/OFF) to move the time backward; the press it again to set the minutes. Then press it again to lock it in, and leave that mode.To the left of the first button, is a wheel to adjust the volume (30 dB to 90 dB) of the alarm. It is a nice loud alarm. To the right of the last button is a wheel to adjust the level (0% to 100%) of illumination on the digital readout. It is very bright, but not enough to be distracting, or possibly keep you awake.On the back, there are two USB ports. One for the cord to power the unit, and the other to charge your cell phone.There is also a back-up battery compartment, which holds two AAA batteries. During a power outage, they will only save your time and alarm settings, the time will not be displayed, the alarm will not sound.At the bottom are four non-skid feet.This IS the one you're looking for. It really rocks. If you're looking for a more substantial sized, well-made clock, this is pretty much the perfect alarm clock. It's easy to set, easy to snooze, and easy to reset for the next day.UPDATE (DEC 2023): The initial smaller version of this clock lasted for 3 years; and then I began using the larger version. Because I was so impressed with the operation and durability of this clock, I had ordered another to keep as a spare. Yep, it's that good.UPDATE to the UPDATE (JAN 2024): The replacement lasted less than a month before it started acting up- specifically, buttons are not responding when they're touched. Luckily I ordered a replacement last month. So, shoppers, it looks as though the lifespan of these units are about 3 years, till the internal electronics begin checking out. Which means, instead of buying 2 at a time, buy just 1. Then, after about 2-3/4 years in, put it on your "To-Do" list to buy another. I still like the clock, and I'm going to continue to use it.BTW I would suggest purchasing a longer USB cord, because the one they provide is not long enough. At least for me, snaking it from the outlet, around the bed, to the clock, and situating it on my nightstand, was a bit challenging.

Great big huge numbers! Get the red one for bedrooms. I can read it from across the room without my glasses! Love it.

Perfect for my legally blind friend . The big numbers are great

Although this item had been noted as lost in transit, I received it 2 days after the delivery date. The product is as promised. The large numbers are a great help to my husband who is losing his sight. This is the only clock that he can actually "read" from bed and he is extremely happy with it. I definitely recommend this clock for sight-impaired people, especially the black background with white numbers.

* Brilliantly bright* large and well spaced numbers* would be difficult for visual impaired person to set time as the buttons are on the back.* You will need to buy a 3 pin plug attachment if you don’t have a USB port next to your bed ( I brought a phone charger one, it works great)* cable isn’t very long.

Excellent clock if you want no fuss with just time and maybe an alarm. Very nice simple design, just what I wanted.

Great for vision impaired senior.
