My dad has early-stage Alzheimer’s, and constantly asks my mom the day and date. I’d like to get him a watch with the day of the week and date that is easy to read, but I’m having trouble finding one. Any help?
PS – sorry if this belongs in another thread, but it seemed more a GQ than anything else.
Fossil has some watches with large digital displays.
How about this?
If you prefer analog, you might consider a railroad watch. They look like a wrist version of an old alarm clock–white dial with big black numbers.
The Seiko railroad watch comes with a day/date block.
If you’re looking for portability, then watches seem to have difficulty displaying the day/date in a readable format. This and this displays both, but it may be unfamiliar enough for your father to keep asking how to read it.
If you can do with a clock, then you can get things like this (although that looks overpriced). Perhaps a travel alarm clock with a calendar would work, if he can remember to keep it with him.
When I saw the thread title, my reaction was:
Worst. Date. Ever.
Hope you find the right watch. Would something like this Timex work?
