$18 on Amazon. I got my daughter this when she was the same age. Still wears it. Unless she’s into watches an analog watch will have little to no appeal to her. Cheap, easy to read, keeps time. That’s all she needs.
Not getting robbed, not caring if I lose it, durable and multiple time zones. G-shock every time. My nice pieces stay safe at home.
I think it’s important that we periodically step back and ground ourselves in reality. Always consider your opportunity cost, i.e., what purchases or experiences are you foregoing that you could have otherwise used the money for to get the shiny piece of metal you really want? In today’s day and age, especially with the proliferation of smartphones and smartwatches, EVERY watch is a luxury (i.e. non-essential item). So spend it if you got it, but in my opinion, only if you have the disposable income to not be buying a watch at the expense of what really matters in life. This is all just fivilous fun at the end of the day.
