This is a great little watch for helping to teach young kids how to tell time. A few points about the watch:

1. Be ready to spend just a little time with the intended little recipient on how this is going to help them learn. There are some cardboard instructions included, but you're going to have to talk through what everything means on the watch, and probably reinforce the lessons along the way. The text is small, but young eyes should have no problem with it.
2. The band is a nice soft nylon material that is easy on kids' wrists.
3. A stainless steel case is included for the watch, which keeps it from getting damaged when not in use. It comes in handy.
4. It is water-resistant, not water-proof. This protects against dropping it into the water and immediately fishing it out, but I wouldn't go swimming with it.
5. The main feature of this watch that helps kids learn how to tell time is that the hour/minute hands are labeled, and the minutes/seconds markings have numbers every five places. My only suggestion would have been to color coordinate the hour hand with the hour markings, and the minute/second hands with the minutes/seconds markings. As it is, I think it's a great tool, but this would help have helped kids make the proper associations.
