Have just bought my 8 year old a Casio MQ 24 7BLL on Amazon for just over £10. It's like a 3/4 size Swatch. Looks just right on his wrist.

He loves it. Feels very grown up and I won't worry too much if he loses it.

If I'd had a mechanical watch when I was seven it wouldn't have lasted more than a week.

Swatch is a good idea.

My Dad got me this when I was a bit younger (around 5.5-6)

Still got it and it still works, still even wear it occasionally for old times sake.

They do similar watches with effectively the same movement even now.

Casio quartz is hard to beat for longevity.

Swatch is best
