Let me start by saying that I think these learning watches are an excellent idea.  It is a fantastic way for kids to learn how to tell time correctly and avoid using digital.  Several years back I bought some for friends children and everyone raved about them.  So now that my own daughter is 5 and I want to start teaching her how to tell time, I settled on this one.  Well, here comes the disappointment.  The "learning" numbers (the numbers on the outside by 5's to help children learn the minutes) are so small, they are virtually unreadable and useless.  I thought maybe it was just the light coloring of this watch, but I looked at the other styles in a retail store and they are all the same.  Very surprised by Timex.  Cute watch and I will give it to her, but can't say the "minute" numbers will aid in any way.
