First Watch - 6th Birthday

[T5SOR]

My eldest son would like a watch for his 6th birthday and it will be his first ever one. I would like to get him an analog one (to teach him to read clocks) and be tough enough for everyday use.

No idea on price, but any suggestions welcomed, although not so expensive it matters if he loses/damages/breaks it.

Bright colours would also be a benefit!

I bought one of these for my son at a similar age. At under a tenner, it did exactly what needed in teaching him the time. Strap fitted him too which was handy.

There's a lot of choice out there for under £1k.

Something like this seems perfect. To a 'grown-up' it possibly looks clumsy and perhaps just plain wrong, but to a six-year-old, I think the 'Ficher Price' style simplicity is spot-on:
