Exceeded expectations. This was a gift for a loved one experiencing beginnings of memory loss. The person absolutely loves it, and she is so relieved to be able to instantly know the day, date and time. She commented so positively on all of the features after having it for a day, and she especially liked being able to see the words "morning" "afternoon" "evening". From what she said, I would recommend getting a clock with ALL of the information that is displayed on this one. If you think about it, when a person wakes up from an afternoon nap, they may not remember if it is morning or afternoon. And in my experience, some people with memory loss no longer recognize the terms "AM" and "PM".
