Not just for kids!!,
I have had this watch for several years now. I am a very active grown women. This watch is perfect for a small wrist-ed (about 6″) women. I have only changed the battery once. I have swum in the Gulf of Mexico, did 30ft+ drops into the bayou with it, gardening, hiking, camping, etc. It’s very tough, and the band has held up wonderfully, only starting to show its age this last year. Recently it has begun losing minutes every night. After searching the stores and online for a replacement watch I was sooo happy to be able to find the same watch on Amazon. It’s definitely not just for kids!

My son hasn’t killed it yet!,
My nine year old son has had–and quickly destroyed–several wrist watches in the past few years. Finally, for his last birthday, I thought it was time to get him a “real” watch. This Timex fit the bill.
My son is rough on his stuff, and I chose this watch for him because it has a mineral glass crystal instead of the more common acrylic plastic crystal. The glass is harder and more scratch resistant. The slightly oversized case looks bulky in the pictures, but it’s much better proportioned when you see it in person, and it provides excellent protection to the crown.
The infinitely adjustable wrist strap is also a nice feature. The watch is easy to put on, and you can make the band as snug–or loose–as you’d like. My only longer-term concern is that the velcro may wear out faster than a traditional watch band. We’ll cross that bridge when we get to it–it’s held up very well for the past month, which has included an awful lot of “watch demonstrations.”
My son loves his watch. It keeps excellent time, as all quartz watches should. It’s durable, and it’s fairly attractive in a rugged, chunky kind of way. I’m very pleased with it.

Nice watch,
My 6 year old has had the watch for 11 months now. It’s still working great, though he doesn’t wear it much. I was surprised it looked as nice as it did when we got it. The face is easy to read. We paid $14 for it last year.
