Nifty idea for teaching children how to read time, and for my 5 year old, it worked; she was able to tell time in no time (excuse the pun). This is the only reason I gave it a 3-star, the watch does not keep time at all, with up to 30 minutes difference at the end of the day...maybe I got a dud. The battery that came with it was also depleted, and putting in a fresh one didn't fix the time keeping problem. (It's not worth sending it in for a replacement for cost of mail)
