We've had these watches over a year but now we've lost one, and we're getting another. These watches keep good time and are waterproof - they've even ended up in the washer a couple of times.

The color of the watch hands matches the numbers - the hour hand matches the color of the hour numbers, and the minute hand matches the color of the minute numbers. It is easier for kids to match colors than to remember that the the shorter hand is the hour hand. This watch shows the minutes from 0 to 59. Note that some other teaching watches either do not show the minutes, or show the minutes decreasing past the half hour (e.g., instead of showing "40" at the 40 minute mark, they would show "20".)

The watch glows with a blue light when the knob is pressed and the battery lasts a bit over a year. This watch has a tick-tock sound which to me is more interesting than a silent watch. The band is soft, stretchy, and comfortable and looks really good for a few months, then it gets picked up and looks fuzzy. The only thing I don't like about this particular watch is the second hand. The second hand has little sports balls at the end which are attractive, but they are large enough to obscure the other hands for several seconds while they tick on past.

There are a few problems with this watch. First of all it was D.O.A. (Dead on Arrival)! Rather frustrating for an excited boy. The other big issue is that it is not blue... it is purple. The product image is very deceptive. I read another review saying it wasn't a strong blue but ours isn't blue at all! They are definitely having some consistency issues at the plant.

Bottom line... I wouldn't recommend this watch to a friend.

THis watch is a very good watch especially for those kids learning how to tell time. My five year old is enjoying it. The band is also adjustable and fits to the hand perfect.

I gifted it to my niece on her bday. She is a tom boy,she loved the colour and the balls on it. Moreover the size wasnt a problem coz of the stretch band.

This is a great watch for kids. Our son is very active and this watch is built well. He loves the seconds hand and wears it everyday!

When my almost 4yr old grandson got to the Christmas tree it was the 1st thing he saw. He wanted it on immediately and Mom has had a hard time getting it off since. Very durable!!

This is a great gift for the money. The face is clear and the strap is great for any sport kid. Love it and the price!

My son liked the design of this watch, but the strap broke and could not be fixed! A kid's watch is not that hard to make -- it needs to be: sturdy, easy-to-read, and accurate! C'mon Timex, we expect better from you.

These were purchase as a gift and I would recommend them to anyone looking for a gift for kids.

IT IS A OK WATCH BUT THE BAND COULD BE MADE BETTER AND BE A STRONG BLU COLOR FOR A BOY.
