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.

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.

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.

I purchased this watch for my six year old grandson, Nolan. He's having fun with it. I found it a little difficult to set and comprehend, but my son and Nolan were quick at mastering it. Nolan loved the fact that it was water proof and tested that out in the bath tub. He enjoys timing things with the stop watch, and being able to read the time in the dark. I had fun explaining military time to him. It's a concept that led to a very interesting discussion. The watch fits him perfectly and looks very cute on. I was very happy with the purchase.

We got this watch for our 7 year old granddaughter. She will not take it off. She loves it. It is a good size, the band is easy to adjust and fits perfectly, and the watch is easy to use. I recieved it within 3 days of ordering, which was important as a birthday was coming up. I recommend the watch to anyone with a young child.

typical timex watch with indiglo feature. the band is elastic so it slips right on. nice size for kids. the controls and features are similar to any digital watch. it seems pretty typical/straightforward to me but for some reason, my 9 year old son absolutely loves this watch... LOVES it.

I purchased this watch for my daughter's 11th birthday after she had borrowed one of my old Timex digital watches a couple of times. The only problem with the old watch was the buckle strap; it would not tighten up snugly on her wrist and irritated her. I searched for a model with a wrap-around band and was only slightly disappointed that the one I found here on Amazon (that was well-priced and in-stock) was blue and looked a little "boyish". I was not concerned about the quality since it is a Timex and for me, that says enough.

My daughter has been wearing the watch for almost a month now and just commented to me this morning how "cool" it is (she never mentioned the blue color or the lightning bolt). She uses the stopwatch and alarm features and had no problems learning to make adjustments to the settings, even without the instructions.

Highly recommend; a great 1st watch for a great price and apparently fairly androgynous. I was also delighted to see that Timex now replaces children's watches that are lost or broken for a flat fee of $10.

Great watch...my three year old loves numbers and 'telling the time'! I am ordering another one because we lost the original one! Yikes!

This digital wristwatch is excellent for kids. The display is large, easy to read. Hour and minute adjustments are easy to follow. I strongly recommend this watch - they are a fine gift to young kids.

Easy to program, even for an adult!
My son hasn't taken it off, and is always setting the alarm for one thing or another, sigh....
