My son just turned 10 and I wanted him to have a real watch that he can put on, bang around and not have to worry about it.  The T79051 is that watch.

This is not an adult watch on a kid's band; it's a kid-sized watch.  The watch itself is nothing fancy, but it has clear numbering, a second sweep, and Indiglo for night time, which is nice.  The band is black nylon with a velcro closure.  It goes in the shower and/or the pool or lake (down to 90 feet) and doesn't miss a beat.  And oh yeah -- if you lose it, Timex will replace it for cheap, too.  Do I really need to go on?

Simply put, this watch does exactly what you want it to do.  Save the fancy watch for high school graduation and instead, get this rough-and-tumble kid's watch for your rough-and-tumble kid.  You will not be disappointed!
