I bought this watch for my 70 year old mother, I guess by that age, taking so many pills each day is normal! Her problem was that she had to take a special pill once a week but kept forgetting, this watch doesn't program each day, but at least I could put an alarm on it for each day reminding her that if it is Tuesday to take her pill....Seems the long way around but it worked for her, she loves it. It has a great feature that if you are busy when the alarm goes off...ie...on the phone etc, you can press a button and it will keep reminding you like every 3 mins or so with a reminder beep until you tell it to stop. Very easy to set up and change if you need to. My only negative would be Amazon's supplier of this watch 'epills', they sent a beeper to me first, I had to send it back and pay postage to send it back, but they never apologized or refunded my postage money to send back their mistake, even after a call and email.

Standers Handybar Review

Since having back surgery exiting a vehicle has been a problem for me. I have tried several products to aid me in this task. The problem was so bad, that I had to trade vehicles to find one that is easier on me. I now have a full size Mercury Grand Marquis, they don't come any larger than that in my price range.
Even after all that, I was still having a problem. I will note that the typical assist handle in most vehicles provides no assistance at all in exiting the vehicle. This is because they are inside the vehicle and can not be used to help exiting unless you are double jointed.
I did a lot of research and it came down to the "Handybar" or an assist strap that temporarily install through an open window and wraps around the door frame. The problem with the latter is that you need assistance to safely use it. Someone must be there to prevent the door from closing when you put weight on the strap. This more of a problem if you are parked on an up hill slope. The "Handybar" requires no assistance to use; even when parking on a hill. As long as the door detents will hold the door open, it is a one person operation.
I have only one negative which I plan to write the company about. It is my opinion that the handle design should be modified to raise the height of the handle when it is installed in the door latch. I have found that this latch is not at a uniform height in all cars. In some of the smaller vehicles I have tried it in, the handle is low enought to affect its useability. This is because of the vehicle size, the design places the door latch at a much lower height. However in my retro full size American four door sedan the product works very well indeed.
