Suggestions: "spy" watch for a boy ?

[nckr55]

My 7 year-old son thinks I'm a spy.

It's a long story, but came out of a throwaway response to a question a couple of years back and he's been convinced ever since, bless him.
The fact that I'm a deniable asset (of sorts) in any case - plus my wife genuinely can't describe what I do and pauses when asked by anyone - doesn't help dispel that particuar myth.

Anyway - he's at the age now where he's interested in "what's the time?" and "when does x start?" and "how long until?", and I thought it would be nice to pick him up something from the stores at 'work'. Ahem.

So - it would be nice to pick up something with a non-standard watch feature (thinking Casio Databank style, or even a TV watch ?), but the caveat is it must fit a skinny 7 year old boy's wrist.

Any sugestions ? It's probably one for an eBay search rather than the high street, I'm guessing.

cheers,
Agent N

Plenty more camera watches on ebay, just search "camera watch"

You might have to dig around to find one that fits him. And it might be better to choose a larger one with an LCD so that he can playback without needing access to your PC...

I can't believe I'm the only one that's curious what you actually do, assuming that if you told me you wouldn't have to kill me ...

[Irrotational]

Lol - I was curious too - but no help to OP!

What do you do!?

[Gazzab]

He's a business analyst per his id.
So I guess works for a bank in Edinburgh!?

I had a 007 Bond watch as a lad - it played the theme tune as an alarm.

Just kidding. Your post made me laugh though.
