Tough Kids Need Tough Watches

Kids are tough on watches and that's a fact. If you're looking for a good gift for the younger person on your gift list and you really don't want to get them one more toy that will be discarded after being played with for 5 minutes on Christmas Day, consider getting them a watch.

If this isn't for your own child, talk to the parents and make sure they feel their child is ready for a watch and then let them know the kind of watch you have in mind. A great starter watch for younger children is found in the Timex Time Teacher.

The Time Teacher has an easy to read dial and the color coordinated hour hand and minute are labeled so the child can learn the difference between the hour and minute hands easily. The color differentiated dial is split with two colors. The 1-6 o'clock side is one color and the 6-12 side is another color to make it easy for kids to learn to tell time using the "to" and "past" designations. Such as, "It's ten past two".

The fabric wrist strap is easy to adjust and stays where you put it so it is always comfortable and never too tight on the child's wrist. There's no conventional buckle so even very young children can put on their own watches all by themselves. The strap is protected with Scotchguard, making it a "wipe clean" band. And best of all this watch is protected with the Timex Kid's Loss Protection Plan. If this watch is lost anytime during the first year of ownership - Timex will replace it for a flat fee of $10; no questions asked.

If you're looking for a great gift to thrill the young person on your holiday list - make it a Timex watch made just for kids!
