What is the best watch for your child?
All right. I have enough. My children are playing too much with my watch collection.😜 I have to start to build their collection!! First maybe Baby-G, later GW-M5610-1ER. Any suggestions? Boys aged 4-7 ..😊

How about Casio A158?
Nice pick, but I have the feeling that in two days this watch will end up with scratched and broke display 😜 Thank you for your suggestion!!
Start ’em young.
I'm looking at a Baby G for my 6 year old. My 10 year old picked out a Casio F-105. Less than 20 bucks and similar to the F91W but with better backlight. And it takes any 18mm strap,so you can swap and share.
I bought my grandson a GA2100SKE-7A, and he loves it. He's just learning to tell time with an analog display, so having both analog and digital helps with that. Plus he thinks the "skeleton" case is cool (I gave him the choice of that or the grey one)

My son took my Marathon GP Quartz some months back and he still likes it alot. Since I found the 34mm a tad small for me, it became his. Sapphire crystal and a synthetic fiber case with an ETA quartz, he has worn it to school and sports with no visible damage so far.
Timex has some things dedicated to kids. I picked up this one for my 5 year old not long ago and he loves it. Easy maintenance, strap is stretchy so its easy for him to take off and put on. Timex also has a specific warranty for kids watches where theyll replace in (if i remember correctly) two years if its damaged or lost.
good old Swatch was my first beloved watch as a child, I think its a good first watch for children. So much choice in design as well, just take them to a store and have them pick one out
If you give them a digital watch, it won’t help them to learn how to tell time. Swatch has some analog “Flik-Flak” watches that are color-coded to help kids learn to tell time.
Casio MRW-200 series... A lot of colour option
We took the Flik Flak and Swatch routes for our two this Christmas. The Flik Flak is on a five-year old's wrist on the pic. He loves it. All his mates have Junior Garmin things but he says he has a "proper watch like Daddy's"!

Great suggestion. Thank you!

Never thought about it but the combination of digital and analog is a great idea. He will learn the time with it !! Thanks, my friend !!

Agree. Tempus nailed it in a previous post. Thank you!

🤣🤣 The same situation ... Sometimes I come home and he's wearing 3 watches on each hand ...
Timex do some good kids ones, I bought my nephew one to help teach him to the learn the time, now he's stole one of my Casio f91w
My daughters both got a vintage handwInder. Older one a 30th Kienzle Gentlemanwatch and the smaller a cadet amfibia. After they respected the mechanical Inalso got them FW-91s for school.
Honestly I’d go for a GShock square. The child will most likely have the watch forever and enjoy it until adulthood. It’s affordable, indestructible and super cool
