DAYCLOCK UPDATE - [Newest Version] Day Clock American Lifetime 

I bought a different brand of similar Day Clock for my mother. I just want to thank you for the actual, hands-on, review. It's one of the few videos on this subject that isn't just a commercial, or a money-grubbing, voice synthesized, useless, monetized waste of time. Well done!

Huge help!!! Thanks!

Video was Quite Helpful!! My Husband and I are Grateful for the Posting.

Thank you very much for loading your video. Just bought this clock for my husband because he does not remember the days. God bless you. Thanks.

After I saw this video I bought this clock for my dad about 6 months ago. What makes it important is it show him the day of the week and if its morning, afternoon, or evening. This is important for people with dementia. Even though my dad could see the time on other clocks, he didn't know if it was morning or evening or what day of the week it was. The other great thing is the text is very large, so he can even see it from the couch without his glasses. It's also neat to see how smooth the text is, it doesn't look like a typical LCD clock. The battery backup works fine (and even my other clocks with battery backup do not display the time when there is a power outage, they just maintain time internally until power is restored). It does slowly get fast, but honestly all clocks I have ever owned do this.. some much worse than others, unless they are specifically atomic clocks that set themselves using the signal from Boulder, CO. There are other clocks that look identical, though American Lifetime appears to be based in Florida per their website.

Thank you for this detailed explanation of the features of this clock.

Thanks for making this video. Very helpful.

Thank you! I was about to pull out my hair figuring this out. 😱

I have one of these , the buttons on the back are maddening, even for someone that is not experiencing some form of old age problems, they are not properly labeled , I finally had to go online and find out the real function of each button and label each one properly, they are no doubt made in china and shipped world wide so they have symbols on there that have nothing to do with what it really does, and if you push the wrong one you have to start all over again still not sure what to do, it's a vicious circle, and trust me you will need to frequently re-adjust the time they tend to add a minute every few days and before you know it it's over 10 minutes fast

Thanks so much, I would never have figured out how to change to just day. My husband is so confused when he gets up from his nap during the day. He thinks it is always breakfast no matter what time he gets up. I have had the clock with time and date, hopefully this will help him out.

Wonderful explanation. Thanks a lot.

Very helpful video. Thank you

The only thing you forgot to do is let people know that you have to press the "OK" button to confirm/select at the beginning of the video. Otherwise, I am hoping my Uncle and his girlfriend who are NOT good with technology will be able to set this up for my mother as I live in another country.

Thank you for this. Mine was stuck on one display and I couldn’t figure out why. You solved my problem!

Great explanation/demonstration!

Great job of explaining! You ought to do this for a living because you are far better than a lot of people who earn a living doing this type of thing.

Thanks

Thank you for your video. I know the clock was meant to be bright so you can see it from a distance but is there anyway to dim the light? I couldn’t figure that out if there is away.

Nice

The "Take Your Medicine" alarm and display lasts for 50 seconds in case anyone is wondering. The manual does NOT stipulate what battery to buy should the power go out. The back up battery does NOT power the clock during an outage, just remembers all the settings and will display the correct time once power is restored [however, if we can find out what battery to buy, we won't have to worry about that!! :-) ]

Thank you for demonstrating the backup battery.

Oh no. So you have to press the button to stop the alarm. My mother can't do that.

This is different from the version I have, it has a remote but programming the alarms is funky and confusing. I think they could have provided different, more pleasant alarm sounds then the telephone one.

Very helpful and just love your accent ! Only yellow and white display I guess ?

So if you hang it on the wall, you have to take it down and push a button on the BACK of the clock to stop the alarm? Horrible Feature! How long does it ring if you do NOT shut it off in this ? manner Also for this price it should have a battery option or even battery back up for power outtages which happen more & more it seems. Also agree with post saying you should be able to enter your own messages via phone or computer sice it has usb port. Last, some sound options would be nice given if it's on the wall you may have to endure it for awhile before the alarm stops. A=I HOPE the manufacturer READS these posts 7 incorporates the requests. ALSO the shouldHIRE you -you were so GREAT at showing how to use all the features. Thank you

Could you please post instructions on howto re-set the actual time on this clock? mine keeps showing the wrong time.

Hello. Can you get set the reminder to announce the time and date every morning or is this just for meds reminders

Can we set alarms to display "Take your medicine" and NOT have the chime sound off? Would that alarm alert go off by itself or would we have to take the clock down off the wall to turn alarms off? Thanks

My clock is stuck on a certain day/time/year. I can change them but as soon as I hit the OK button to save each change, it reverts to what it was when I got the clock. Is there a way to unlock this clock so I can make changes? There are lock icons beside the foot connection (not sure why - maybe to lock the foot in place?) and there is a lock icon next to a small hole just above the foot that has a 'K' on the lock icon. I am not sure what that means, but there is nothing to do with the hole - no button, no switch, no nothing. I am beside myself on this and cannot send it back, too long since I bought it. I have the version with the 'Pause/Play' symbol on the center button vs. the 'OK'. Please help! This thing was too expensive to toss out and my dad who has dementia needs it now.

I would like the same but with message : go to school. Is it possible to custom the messages ?

If you power adapter goes out, you can power the clock thru the USB port with Samsung phone charger and USB to USB cable. Works perfectly.

I have military time how do i get regular time

Just received , set time but it goes to Military time . How do I change to regular time ???

ya wold be nice if it told you what med to take or also remind you what times to eat or what to eat if you type it in you know what I mean

I have a time set error that comes on with a yellow box on the time. How do I fix it? Thanks

I see a USB slot on mine, is they're way to update it? the time always changes after a while. Seems like cheap junk 😕

Can the display be in colour

every couple days clock reverts to setup time, I unplug, clock resets to correct time. Is there a fix?

Our clock changed to analog...we can't figure out how to get it back to digital...any suggestions?

You covered the fixed alarm messages but does it have an option to type your own message, I was hoping you would have scrolled down further to see if the option was visible.

This clock has been a lifesaver for my mom .. HOWEVER, she needs an alarm now to get up but telling her to touch a button on the back to turn off is past her ability.. I mean it causes anxiety for her. Could there eventually be a separate button on the front or side ?? If I tell her to push any button, she may push the on/.off. Right now she has no tv b/c she can’t work the remote … this is great but the alarm function is too confusing & distressing for her :(

What buttons r u pressing

Does it have a backup battery and is the battery replaceable or do you just throw it away? If you just throw it away you're throwing away your money!

Unfortunately these clocks have a poorly designed timing circuit such that the clock is about 5 minutes fast per month. In the realm of crystal timing, this is considered horrendous accuracy, especially when you consider these clocks are supposed to be for people that shouldn't have to keep adjusting the time setting every month.

Why is the message? "Now it's Saturday before dawn" show? Has this happened to anyone?

I can't seem to adjust the timeon mine - I wish I could see what buttons/arrows your pushing as you talk....

How do you change the time when auto-dimming begins and ends? I haven't been able to figure that out!

Bought this clock for my mom about 6 months ago, and she loves it, and so do I! But the display has dimmed, and we were wondering if we need to replace the battery, but can’t figure out where to put in a battery. Any ideas?

Maybe it’s our clock that is not working right, but you are not showing us in the video what you are pushing on the back once you push the menu. I can’t seem to get anything to move or change.

How can I change the time from 3:09 to 4:09 ? the left-rite arrows do not respond.

I got the clock on Amazon and had a power failure when the power came back on all of the reading on the clock was backwards and would not revert very disappointed with this clock

That was nice except you didn’t explain how to set the clock Whoops

I wish I would have come across your video earlier!! After fiddling too much with mine to just change the time for daylight savings time, I now have an orange square error message smack in the middle of the screen reading "Time set error!" I've tried unplugging it for well over 2 hours but still have that error message. Any suggestions?

Those any one out there knows how to chance the time to day saving time I'm on EASTERN time in New York need to change to 6;30 but i can seen to be able to do that. My Oclock still show 7:30 I'm Day light saving, Can some help with a Video. Thanks

I was disappointed with my Life time clock. After two years it got so dim I can’t see the time.

OUR DAUGHTER GAVE US TWO FOR CHRISTMAS AND WE LOVE THEM; ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO ONE QUIT WORKING. IT STILL GETS POWER BUT THE SCREEN IS BLANK. IS THERE ANY WAY TO REPAIR IT OR CAN IT BE RETURNED FOR A REPLACEMENT?

Hi. Russian language set is the time?

can you please let me know if I can type another message instead the one already setup on device? thank you,

Your not showing how your changing it

Love this clock and then it broke so it's no good now.

Can’t get time to advance

How you change time?

How do you change the language to French?

Did she explain how to set the damm TIME ??? No !

i have two of these and neither keep time , after about 2 months the gain a couple of mins, total waste of money

there just a digital clock, call it a memory clock and charge £40 rip off

Thanks but I won't be buying this one. I need one that announces the day of the week not just show it.

Useless , did not show how to change time

For that price it is better to teach the person to manage a tablet. The power cord is uncomfortable, there are already lithium batteries on the market of up to 4,000 mAh so that the watch lasts several days. The USB port must be used to synchronize the mobile phone calendar. However, the interface is striking and useful for everyone, including healthy people.
