This is a fun watch for kids. The strap is adjustable to any size wrist and everything works just like a regular Timex. it is comfortable for my son to wear so he likes it.

wish the lens was recessed so it wouldn't get scratched as much, but it's a great watch to help my 5yr old learn the time. He's pretty rough with it and he takes it into the bath to wash it. Still ticking. The lens will eventually get scratched enough that we'll have to replace it. But for now, it's good.

We got this watch and the dino watch for my boys for last Christmas. They love the watches. One of the boys takes it off after a while but the other immediately started pulling his sleeve up so everyone can see his cool new watch.lol

They've held up rather well despite being dropped, etc.

I bought this watch for my son 2 years ago as a preschool graduation gift. He wore it occasionally for the first year, then pretty much daily for most of the last year. I selected this watch because I trust Timex and because of the stretch band. Other kids watches that he tried on were still too big, even when adjusted to the smallest setting. But with the stretch band, this one fits great and is very easy for him to put on and take off by himself (we had ZERO problems with the band loosening, as another reviewer mentioned). It recently stopped working - while the hour hand still works fine, the minute hand spins freely if you give the watch a little shake. However, we have been happy with the watch, so I'm browsing to buy him another one! Will probably buy one for my daughter soon too.

My kids really love the Timex Kids' Time Teacher watches - we have one with a purple monkey stretch band and one with a blue band with cars and trucks. We looked around for the longest time before finding these watches - our kids wanted watches, but we really struggled to find simple, inexpensive analog kids' watches (you'd think it would be pretty simple!).

PROS
+ display is very easy to read

+ band has cool and interesting graphics on it that kids want to wear

+ inexpensive watch

+ your kids learn to tell time with a real watch

+ durable watch

+ watch is easy to put on

CONS
- Not all of the watches seem to have a second hand

- Not all of the watches are as legible as others

- No date feature on the watch

All in all, very much recommend the Timex Kids Time Teacher Purple Monkey as well as Timex Kids Time Teacher Blue Cars and Trucks Stretch Band Watches, as well as others of the same basic design from Timex.

The watch piece itself is OK and my son likes that it lights up with the push of a button, but the strap is constantly getting loose and eventually comes out of the strap buckle. I'm sure it won't be long until it is lost.

Great watch, but my 6 year old grandson figured out how to take the watch itself off the band in about 5 minutes, so I'm guessing that your replacement guarantee will be put to use, because I'm sure he will lose it quickly.

I purchased this watch for my 6 year old. The idea of priting "hour" and "minute" on the hands seemed like a good idea. The print is however so small that even my 6 year old with his young eyes cannot read it. The only thing that is legible is the numbers 1 through 12. The watch needs to be twice as big to be readable.

I bought one of these (with lizards) for my 4 year old grandson's birthday. I wanted a watch with hands so he could really learn to tell time. The watch band fits his tiny wrist and the waterproofing worked great when he forgot to take it off and wore it during a swimming lesson. He loves the backlight (which he tries to use as a flashlight though it's not bright enough). He's gradually getting the concept of time and wears it ALL the time. Bought this one for his younger brother's 3rd birthday. Would have preferred one with trains, but this will be a satisfactory substitute.

bought this for our 2 1/2 year old grandson who was fascinated by my wristwatch. its cheerfully coloured, and well thought out as a learning/teaching product with the differently coloured hands showing the hour, minute and second, as also the dial rimmed differently showing the minutes past the hour and to the hour.

the strap is fairly sturdy too so far (thats 3 weeks or so). have no idea how it will fare once he starts wearing it regularly! the buckle is easy to operate and doesnt hurt the toddler's wrist. it doesnt loosen on its own either.

would have given it 5 stars but that the dial seems a little cluttered with the picture of the tractor etc. its a little hard for me to teach the child what to focus on!
