Kid’s Watches

Post by watchpalooza »

A thread to post watches you have bought for your kids.

Not sure if this one is available in the States, but I bought this for my 9yo on Amazon.de for €10. Its a good size for his wrist at 32mm, has a pretty decent fully lumed dial, stainless case, hardened mineral glass, uni-directional bezel, rated to 3 ATM, and a surprisingly good nylon zulu strap. Build quality and heft are surprising for the price. Bezel is plastic, but the rest is solid. Time will tell if its durable!

My kid doesn't wear kid's watches anymore, but I keep an eye out because some guy once asked on the old Watchuseek deals thread and it's a challenge.

Here is an old-skool Disney Mickey Mouse watch with mouse hands and a fun presentation box. It's kind of unusual because it isn't an Invicta MM watch, lol. They say it's a ladies' watch, but they show a shot of it on a kid's wrist. 27mm, 30m WR.

It goes on flash sale from time to time:

Any time people bring up children's watches, I always point them to Timex. Many a WIS got started with Timex, after all. :D

The small Swiss Army classic with the red bezel is a great kids watch.

Agree with Timex. I bought this one for my nephew.

The first one I remember asking for and eventually getting looked something more like this.

That Casio was my first crush!

These ladies' Casio sport watches seem like good candidates -- I haven't seen them first hand. 34mm, 100m WR.

These are 35mm (per Lorus) -- too big?

Lorus RXD425L8 (mfg. page here):

Lorus RXF41AX7, $35 incl. shipping with this deal

In addition, here are kids' watches by Lorus. I'm not knocking Timex -- I'm a big fan, but competition is good, too.
