The stainless steel band of the Tel-Time Mens Chrome Talking Watch is expandable, which provides a customized and comfortable fit. For the leather band option, there is a chrome buckle, which fastens the watch. Both bands are durable and ideal for everyday wear and use. There are separate buttons to set talking time vs watch time, which helps user avoid confusion. If you choose to have the time read to you, in a clear, male voice, simply press the button to do so. Three sounds are available for the alarm: beep, chime, or cuckoo. The chime can be set to on or off. Batteries are included and installed prior to arrival.
