My 13yo son loves his new watch.  He wanted a watch that stood out, and I don't think he'll find one that stands out more than this one.  It is a little tricky to tell time on it, but that is fine... it gives him more time staring at it.  MANY kids at school asked him if it was real.  He told every one of them that it was indeed a real watch.  The only suggestion he has, is for little black or colored markings on the end of the watch hands, for actually telling the time easier.
