This is a great watch for a teen, featuring a much cooler design than you might find in a sports watch but offering similar advantages. I bought it as a present for my niece, who needed something cute, comfortable and robust. Some reviewers had reservations about the watch strap material, but for us it was a plus: water-resistant, color-fast and flexible. I couldn't see leather, fabric or linked metal surviving long on the wrist of a super-active kid! The range of bright candy and more muted colors is very appealing, and it doesn't look too large or clumsy on the wrist of a girl.

As thrilled as my niece was (phew, lucky for me) with her Christmas present, I'm only giving the item 4 stars because it arrived with a non-working battery. Amazon was quick to rectify the problem but we did have to spend a couple of days on trouble-shooting, and I was surprised that this could happen in the first place.

Having said that, I'd gladly wear a watch like this myself!
