Practice makes perfect. This should be your mantra when it comes to buying watches for your kid. Young children are at the stage where they do not fully grasp the importance and value of things. Even if they do, given their adventurous nature, they are bound to damage a device as delicate as the watch. However, children should be taught the value of time and know to read time on their own. With these two conflicting ideas, any parent would be flustered about the kind of watch to get for their child. Many brands today design and manufacture watches exclusively for kids. There are certain things that will be helpful when looking for kids watches:

Price - Price will vary from brand to brand. To be on the safe side, it would be wiser to start with a watch from a basic brand. Once your child has learnt to read time and take care of his/her watch, you can slowly upgrade to a more expensive buy.

Strap material - Strap material for kids watches are mostly made from materials such as fabric, genuine leather, metal, plastic, silicone, and synthetic. These are not easily damaged and are therefore highly durable and suitable for your child.

Dial display type - Kids watches come with analog, digital, smartwatch display. Digital watches show time in the form of numbers. Most digital watches also come with date and day display features. This watch is basic and most suitable for a child just learning to read time. Moreover, these are relatively cheap and can be easily replaced. Analog display watches indicate time by the continuous rotation of an hour hand and a minute hand. Added features may include date, day, and year display. Analog watches are the upgrade once your kid has mastered the art of telling time and learnt to be a little more responsible.

Color - Kids watches are available in neutral, bright, to multi colored ones. Let your child pick and choose one that suits his preference. With abundant color options, kids also have the advantage of co-ordinating their watch with their outfit.

Design - Kids watches come in attractive designs - flower shaped watches for girls, watch displays with cartoon characters, barbie display, watches shaped and designed as wheels, or even minimally designed watches. Your kid will be spoilt for choice when it comes to selecting a watch. You could even treat your little one with a few watches as kids watches are relatively cheap and will therefore not burn a hole in your pocket; this considering he/she can take care of the watch.

Dial shape - Based on his/her preference, your little one can choose from a number of dial shapes: contemporary, oval, rectangle, round, and square.

Features - Digital watches may feature an alarm clock and chronograph. However, all watches whether digital or analog, come with basic features such as date, time, and day display. Also check for water resistant function.
