My son loves this toy. He's usually loses intrest fast in toys but he was so excited to get this toy, but when it arrived the watch part did not work. We thought the battery had died, so we took it to the jewelers to get it replaced with a new one and it still did not work, so I guess the watch it self is just broken. Also, I ordered this for my son because not only could he tell time on it (which he can't any more) but we were excited about showing him how a compass works. I guess I did not read close enough (it is a toy) but the compass is not real and I thought that was kind of chezzy. It would not cost the manufacture much to put A REAL ONE IN. My son was upset that the watch part did not work and hes' the one that bugged us to try to get it fixed. We did not have the heart to tell him the compass was not real, so we just pretend it works :-(. The only part on this toy that works is the secret decoder(oooooohhhh!!).

Bought this item for my 4 year old after owning the Wild Planet Treasure Hunt game (which is fantastic) and thought the quality would be the same. Boy were we sadly mistaken.

My son was very exceited about this toy especially because he has been learning how to tell time but doesn't like wearing a watch on his wrist so this sounded like the perfect solution as well as it being a compass and of course anything Pirate related. So, the reality of this toy is the watch does not work right out of the package and if you want it to work you need to go to a jeweler to have a watch battery put in for an additional $10.00, the compass is not a real compass and we couldn't figure out what the secret decoder was. All in all it was a joke, the fact that you are expected to shell out an additional $10.00 for this item to just get it to work was insulting to say the least. A piece of junk. It was promptly returned. I would not recommend anyone buying this.

We never could get ours to work very well; not enough investment in it to send back. Just had to throw in the toy box for play without actual use. Really don't recommend at all....

This is going to be a great Xmas present for my 5 y/o son. He loves pirates! The decoder is going to be a great extra, he loves spies too!

I got this pocket watch for my son who loves pirates and he loves it. He wears it with his costume and at night he keeps it in his treasure chest. It's very easy to use and adds to any pirates outfit. My son is 4 and very hard on all toys but this has not broken yet and it's been 5 months.

I bought this as a gift for my Godson's 4th pirate-themed birthday. I
was a bit worried that it would be a little too old for him, but he
loved it and could read the watch (which really works by the way). He
seemed intrigued to learn how to use the compass and liked the fact
that he could wear it around his neck. The 'gadget' nature of this
watch along with the pirate theme makes it a great, unique gift.

My son loves to play 'pirates' with his friends and has several of the Wild Planet pirate toys. He was delighted with this watch. I even bought one for the little boy next door so they can play together. The watch is a great educational feature as part of a toy. We use it to plan how much time my son can be outside playing before checking back in with me since he wears it all the time. Great value for money and a cute Christmas or Birthday gift for your own pirate(s)!

As my son loves pirates, and needed a new toy watch so I couldn't pass this one up because of the low price and free shipping. The watch is well made (for a toy) and a new battery is included. The downside is you may have to replace the demo battery before you use it and you'll need a small screw driver. I have one since most toys that have batteries have these small screws. It was easy to replace and the watch works like a charm. I'd recommend this as great fun and entertainment for younger kids that enjoy pirate toys. It's definitely noticeable on his wrist and he finally knows what time it is! The compass is a nice touch too. Pretty creative.

If your kids like pirates, they are sure to have fun with this watch! Some of the earlier reviews stated the reason they didn't like the watch is because it arrived dead on arrival (i.e., the watch battery was dead). I bought mine from 3D Joe Toys and Games and they included a new replacement watch battery which was a nice touch.

My grandson loves his Pirate Pocket Watch which was bought as a replacement for a lost McDonald's Happy Meal gift. I searched the toy box to no avail to find the compass my grandson thought he left behind. I finally went to Amazon to see if I could find a substitute. This watch/compass worked fine and saved the day.
