My neighbor and her daughter were moving overseas to connect with her military husband,  so I bought the mom a casual, durable watch, since her hands were full with toddler supplies most of the time and she had many time schedules to meet in her upcoming travels.  I thought it might be cute to get her daughter a watch 'like mommy' too.  It was more than 'cute!'  Oh my, the little 3 year old absolutely loved this princess watch - it was a BIG HIT!  (And I was told it worked just fine too.)
