I am truly impressed by the construction and value you get in this great looking Timex Kid's Watch.  I was shopping for my 6 year old son, knowing he desperately wanted a watch so he could be a big man just like his father.  He is always trying to find out the time, so it was a perfect present for him.

A brief perusal in the local toy store was disappointing.  Many Disney and other branded watches that cost over $20 each and look uncomfortable and poorly built.  Browse some Amazon reviews and you'll see that many watches featuring characters break in the first few weeks, leading to sad children and frustrated parents.  Plus, the wristbands never look comfortable for a small wrist.  If it doesn't get worn, I can guarantee it will be lost or broken soon.

The instant I handled this Timex Kid's Watch, I knew it was different.  The wristband is a soft but strong fabric strap with an easy velcro-closure.  My son needed no help putting the watch on himself.  The front of it looks sharp and mature, and the numbers on it are clear and distinct.  The watch was easy to set and my son wore it all day on his wrist, shouting out the time every 20 minutes.  Some kids watches try to be too cute, covering up some numbers with a cartoon, or making the hands hard to read.  The hands are easy to see (including the second hand) and the hour numerals are large and well printed.  One complaint is that the printed minutes, while a nice feature, are just a bit too small to see.  That could be a good thing, as it prevents dependence on a crutch for telling time.

Topping it off, it's a Timex watch so it has Indiglo!  Just push in the stem and the watch face glows green.  It is also water resistant to 30M... I likely wouldn't take it swimming, but I'm not afraid of my kid getting it a little wet and ruining it.  And if he breaks it or loses it, Timex guarantees to replace for a $10 charge.

Especially for this price, you really can't go wrong on this Timex watch for a kid's first watch.
