Watch for kids?
Happy Thanksgiving for everyone in the States! But Happy Friday for all!
Starting my holiday shopping, and I'm trying to get an analog watch for a 7 year old, who can't read analog just yet 😂. (This might be a big mistake introducing a 7 year old into this world)
I think the google algorithm is onto me and I keep coming across Flik Flak, and Parchie. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Check out Blok. They have 33mm dive watches for kids with a unique bezel to measure frequent time periods and the hour markers are set to better reflect the passage of time.
Swatch?
Timex also has a flikflakesque watch with labeled hands. I'll find a link

I just bought my 11 year old a Casio F91W for $15 on Amazon.
I like the resin Timex kid's models in their "Time Machines" line that have the hour numbers and the minute numbers... they helped my kids learn analog time-keeping... they have a variety of colors and styles:
Parchie is a watch brand specifically designed for kids. Also check out Block watches, which are kind of cool. Happy hunting
I talk too much about Q&Q but the Smilesolar line has some 32mm solar watch with colorful cases dials and strap. If you give it enough light at least every 3 months you don't even have to think of the battery. For 30€ it's a cheap risk.
Thank you for all your suggestions! Looked at the Timex and nearly pulled the trigger but the model I wanted was sold out 😕.
Going for a Parchie, which is 40% off today.
Blok was close, but for someone who can't quite read analog yet, I think the color and simplicity of a Parchie is better for a first watch. The Blok will be in my backpocket for next year.
I got my 3 year old a casio lrw200 and changed the band to velcro. Obviously he can't tell time yet but he likes the bezel and that he has a watch like dad's.
