The Timex T70981 Youth digital watch is reliable, durable, and readable in the dark, thanks to the integrated Indiglo night-light, but it’s also flat-out fun to wear.

Excellent wristwatch for kids
This digital wristwatch is excellent for kids. The display is large, easy to read. Hour and minute adjustments are easy to follow.

We’ve looked and hunted for kids watches that would fit my kid. This is the only watch we’ve found that actually fits and has a good band. Rubber bands often irritate his skin, and the velcro bands on their smallest setting, with just barely any velcro connected, the leftover would still hit the skin uncomfortably, yet the thing was still sized too large. The water proofing was so well done that it was taken swimming and worked fine.
This is actually the second time we’ve gotten this watch. The first time, my kid wore out the band after probably four years. It seems that only this watch and it’s different color variations have the elastic band that makes it possible to fit almost any size wrist comfortably.
The functionality is a little strange compared to other digital watches. The button layout isn’t what I’m used to, but it does come with all the popular features, date, time, stopwatch, countdown timer, alarm. The biggest nuisance is the parent explaining to the kid that just because the features exist doesn’t mean that it is okay for the kid to set an alarm for the middle of the night.

Great kis watch
These are great watches for young children. My 2nd grade boy doesn’t even sleep without his. The stretchy band is comfortable and so easy to put on.

9 year old loved this!
I bought this for my 9 year old nephew on his birthday and he absolutely loved it! He figured out quickly how to work the light and was constantly telling us what time it was!

Watch worked only 4 months
After 4 months the watch leaked water in during bath. The seller (Chelsea Watch) is not answering my mail and it seems like I need to buy another watch for my very disseminated…

Very Happy
My son absolutly loves this watch. The stretch band is perfect for him, being waterproof was a necessity. He doesn’t have to worry about removing it before getting in water.

The watch is great. The only thing that could have been better is the description of the watch band.

Easy to program, even for an adult!
My son hasn’t taken it off, and is always setting the alarm for one thing or another, sigh….
