1  Introduction 

A speaking watch featuring all kinds of additional cutting-edge functions, the Zeitgeist 2 

is a true delight. 

Housed in a practical casing with three buttons on the side, a clear-sound speaker, a 

long-lasting rechargeable battery, and a display, this device weighs only 29 g and fits 

easily into the palm of your hand. 

The Zeitgeist 2 also comes with a strap and can either be worn around your neck or 

carried without the strap as a pocket watch that won't take up much space. 

During development, great importance was given to ensuring ergonomic design, both 

inside and out. 

Acoustic communication takes the form of natural-sounding voice output and short 

musical jingles. 

Although it was designed for visually impaired users, the Zeitgeist 2 can also be of help 

to sighted persons of every age. 

 

The functional scope of the device goes far beyond that of a speaking clock and 

includes numerous extra features, including: 

  stopwatch 

  timer 

  calendar and alarms 

  voice recordings 

  compass 

  pedometer (step counter) 

  Lumitest 

  automatic time setting 

  tactile time output in vibration code  

and a whole lot more. 

 

This user guide describes all functions of the Zeitgeist 2 and is designed to be consulted 

at any time. 

We hope you enjoy using the Zeitgeist 2 by Caretec!
