Why it works
A first watch has to be able to take knocks and get lost without drama, and this model has been filling that role for decades. It weighs 21 grams, so it does not bother a small wrist, and the time in digits is easier to read than hands. At ten they also think it is retro, and they like that.
Our verdict
The First Communion watch for practical families, or the small gift from an uncle or aunt who does not want to get it wrong. If you are after a piece of jewellery in a presentation box to keep as a memento, this is not it.
They will like it if
- they are starting to go places alone and need to know the time
- you do not want to give them a mobile phone yet
- they like grown-up things
Bear in mind
- it is small and plain: a child expecting a cartoon watch will be disappointed
- the light is weak
- the buttons are stiff for six-year-old hands
What's in the box
- Digital display with LED light
- Case of about 38 mm
- Weighs 21 g
- Runs on a lithium battery
- Needs batteries or charging
