I bought this for my 8-year old daughter.  I thought it looked somewhat boyish, but she liked it.  When we got it and organized the links into rainbow order, it looked more feminine.  She has gotten compliments on it, and she enjoys the 'different' look compared to standard watches.  I have not found any difficulties with the closure, as others mentioned in reviews.  It was somewhat difficult to change the links around, but as i don't plan on doing this frequently, it's probably a good thing b/c I guess the links won't easily fall apart on their own!
