• Pick a watch with clear numerals. Watches without numerals are great for adults and can look very stylish. Watches without numerals are extremely difficult for a child to read, however, and should be avoided.

• Look for a watch that is well designed and robust. A watch for a youngster will be subjected to a lot of hard wear and as such it is imperative that it is not too delicate. Cool watches that are water proof or water resistant are ideal as these will not get damaged if they get a little wet.
