I live in a nursing home and there were no clocks in the bedrooms. To make matters worse, I am unable to wear a watch because of my size. I get very disoriented when I don't know what time it is. I couldn't get a clock with an electrical cord because there were no available outlets by my bed, so I needed something battery powered. I needed something with big numbers, This not only had that, but it also had the day, date, and the temperature. For the price, it was just what I needed (considering it cost less than $5.00!) Unfortunately, 3 weeks later, it fell off my nightstand and it never worked again. I don't know how much longer it may have lasted, but it was good till the end. I will miss it.
