Amazon.com Product Description

The Timex T70981 Youth digital watch is reliable, durable, and readable in the dark, thanks to the integrated Indiglo night-light, but it's also flat-out fun to wear. It features an easily readable digital display with large, recognizable icons for the chrono, alarm, and timer functions, and a comfortable elastic fabric strap (for better dirt and stain resistance) with blue lightning bolts against a multi-tone blue base. This watch also offers water resistance to 30 meters (99 feet), 12/24-hour time, durable blue resin case, large function buttons, and Timex's unique Kids Loss Protection Plan. It's recommended for children ages 6 and older.

The Indiglo night-light uniformly lights the surface of the watch dial using patented blue electroluminescent lighting technology. It uses less battery power than most other watch illumination systems, enabling your watch battery to last longer. The Night Mode feature allows you to illuminate the Indiglo night-light for 3 seconds with any button press, regardless of the mode or function.

Timex understands that kids often lose things, even their most prized possessions, which is why this watch is covered by the Timex Kids Loss Protection Plan. If the watch is lost, Timex will replace it with the same style (or similar if your style is not available) at the price of $10 for up to one year from the original date of purchase, with no questions asked. Details are included in the printed instructions that come with the watch.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Timex Kids' T70981 Digital Stretch Strap Watch (Watch)

This watch is the best watch. I use it all the time. It is great because since it has an elastic band, it doesnt make my wrist itch. Also, it has a good Indiglo light, so I can see the time in the dark. It has an easy to read LCD display too. I recommend this watch to anybody.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very reliable watch, March 20, 2008

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Timex Kids' T70981 Digital Stretch Strap Watch (Watch)

This watch has many very good features. It has a stopwatch, an alarm, and a countdown timer, all which work perfectly. This watch also shows seconds. It also is water-resistant, and can be used even in the rain, or underwater, though I would recommend not to use it underwater. It's got an adjustable elastic strap to adjust how tight you want it to be. It can also show the date. Also, if you want to look at the time at night, you can press the Indiglo light. It's very easy to set the time. Lastly, the batteries in this watch last long.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the few watches that fit kids, April 14, 2008

This review is from: Timex Kids' T70981 Digital Stretch Strap Watch (Watch)

We've looked and hunted for kids watches that would fit my kid. This is the only watch we've found that actually fits and has a good band. Rubber bands often irritate his skin, and the velcro bands on their smallest setting, with just barely any velcro connected, the leftover would still hit the skin uncomfortably, yet the thing was still sized too large. The water proofing was so well done that it was taken swimming and worked fine.

This is actually the second time we've gotten this watch. The first time, my kid wore out the band after probably four years. It seems that only this watch and it's different color variations have the elastic band that makes it possible to fit almost any size wrist comfortably.

The functionality is a little strange compared to other digital watches. The button layout isn't what I'm used to, but it does come with all the popular features, date, time, stopwatch, countdown timer, alarm. The biggest nuisance is the parent explaining to the kid that just because the features exist doesn't mean that it is okay for the kid to set an alarm for the middle of the night.
