This is a very nice watch, but it does have some disappointing feautres. The biggest problem is that the hash marks between the numbers and the small secondary numbers (i.e., 10, 25, 35 ...) are so small one can barely read them, so it'shard to tech my 5-yr old how to tell the time correctly, as far as a "teaching" watch goes. The second is that the wrist strap is elasticized, but has a cinch-tight metal loop mechanism that works on the underside, so it'shard for my 5-year old to tighten and loosen the strap properly - a more traditional buckle or other type of mechanism would work better. The third is that this watch has an INDIGLO feature, but it is much more dim than other TIMEX INDIGLO lights, and it's still hard to see the numbers when lit up - and the glo is purple, as are the numbers. My son has a sports ball version of this watch, which INDIGLOs in a bright yellow-green and really lights up and is easy to read. My little girl is disappointed in the dimness. However, the watch is nice and does what it says it will do.
