I bought this watch as a Christmas gift for an 8 yr. old boy whose interests I was very fuzzy about. He LOVES it! It was big hit for sure. He said it was his first grown-up watch. The face is the perfect size & the velcro closing makes it a custom fit on his wrist. The water resistance will be a definite plus & the Timex brand makes it a time-honored winner. Thanks for a wonderful timepiece.
