If you are unsure about choosing watches for children, we can advise you on which factors to consider.
Analog vs. Digital
It's ideal to teach children to tell time using classic hands and numbers, so we recommend analog watches as their first watch. This helps children develop visual and cognitive skills. Older children might enjoy digital watches more, as they can offer many additional features.
Size
The watch should be small enough to fit comfortably on a child's wrist and not interfere with daily activities at school, as well as during sports or other leisure activities.
Material
Ensure that the watch is made from safe materials that won't cause allergic reactions or skin irritation. For example, children's watches from Ice-Watch often have a stainless steel case and a silicone strap. In addition to being non-toxic, these materials provide durability, which is especially important for an active child's life. Water resistance should also be a given.
Safety
The watch should be safe in terms of shape and should have sufficiently large numbers and clear contrast so that the child can easily read the time.
Functions
Children's watches can have various features, such as illuminated displays, alarms, stopwatches, fitness trackers, and more. Consider which features are most suitable for your child and whether they will use them. Each additional feature can increase the cost of the watch, and losing it could be quite unpleasant.
Design
Watches with themes of favorite movie or TV characters can be attractive to children, but also consider the durability and practicality of the design. You know how it is, children's heroes can change frequently. For example, some Ice-Watch designs are inspired by Spider-Man but still look timeless.
