This is without a doubt, the best watch in the world.

It's light, it's comfortable, it's simple, it's perfect.

I've worn this watch exclusively for 7 years now. Since 7 years is quite a long time, things happen and watches get lost or run over by cars. In each case, I have always returned to this watch. I think I've bought 11 of them over the years.

I believe I love this watch more than anybody else who has ever purchased it, because I've literally grown up with it. I remember the first one I got, so I would be able to see what time it was because my 5th grade teacher kept the clock covered. Now, this watch accompanies me everywhere from college to even the most grueling paintball games (timers, countdowns, indiglo, elastic band, absolutely perfect).

Buy this watch. You will never regret it.

We have been very happy with this watch. My son bought it with his allowance money because he loved the camo arm band. He has not taken it off his arm since, and it has gone through a lot, but is still working. I enjoy the wrist band because it stretches over the hand, instead of "buckling" it on the wrist, which can be challenging for children.

April 2010 - I just wanted to update that this watch gave up the ghost in January. At first we thought it was just the battery, but no. We bought it in June, so that gave us about 6 months of use.

November 2009 - I wanted my kids to have a watch prior to leaving for our first long road trip. I let each of them choose one from Amazon, and my son wanted this one. For the price and looks, it was a great deal. He was stumped on setting the time until we looked at the instructions. After that, he figured out the rest of the watch on his own. I like the fact that the strap is elastic, as he regularly sleeps with it. Also, the numbers are large enough that you can see them across the room. Lastly, he needs to read for at least 20 minutes daily, and he uses it to time himself. Overall, a great purchase for his first real watch.

Great watch. My son's friend had this watch and he thought it was cool it could be worn in the pool. Because it's winter, my son wears it in the shower, and even to bed. It lights up, the features are easy to use, the stretchy band is pretty comfortable (but not as much when it's wet!!). My son is 11, and it's a perfect first watch for him.

I bought this watch in various designs for my son and one for my daughter. Every watch broke within 6-12 months of purchase. My daughter's watch broke in the first 6 hours of wearing it and we were at the museum that day so she wasn't doing anything that might cause it to break. When I went to the jewelry store to have it repaired, I was told that they had seen a bunch of watches of this style all mysteriously breaking. It is hard to find a digital watch for kids that isn't made of plastic or very plain. These watches are cute and easy to use but they will break every time. Do yourself a favor and do not buy this.

I got this watch for my son so he has an alarm to let him know it's time to come in from playing outside for dinner. The band is really comfortable for him. He has a skinny wrist and the soft band adjusted easily to fit him. I have even tried it on and it is comfortable. He can't operate the side buttons yet but I was able to figure them out even without using the instructions. We have used the alarm and the countdown timer as well. Haven't used chronograph (count-up timer) but I'm sure he will eventually. He does love the indiglo button and uses it often. He's still getting used to wearing a watch and takes it off at least once a day, but he loves that he has it and is proud to wear it. It also came with a certificate that says if you lose it within the first year they will replace it for only $10, which is a nice extra because that's a real possibility for us!

My son got this watch for his birthday. He really likes it! He thinks the camouflage is cool and says the stretchy band is comfy. He even likes to wear it to bed because he can push the illuminate button and see what time it is in the dark. Fun watch!

I gave this watch to my 8 yr old son for his birthday. He is very happy with its performance. I am happy with the warranty that comes with it, the price, and the look of it. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars was because to set the alarm on the clock is really difficult. But other then that I think it is a great watch.

I ordered the Timex Kids' T71912 Camouflage Digital Stretch Band Watch, from Amazon.com for my eight year old. The product arrived on time and looked and performed as described. My grandson quickly understood the functions and said it was "cool". I recommend this watch for older boys.

The watch was here on time, in perfect shape, and from what we can gather from photographs, is accepted well and running well. All in all, a very good purchase.
