Learning to tell the time is an important milestone in every child’s life. Almost as important as learning to count or to read. Having their own watch will greatly help kids learn not only responsibility but to manage their time from a young age. It also becomes a fun and exciting new thing they can share with their friends and family members. Kids watches, however, need to be sturdy and comfortable. In summer most kids are playing outside and they’re rough on anything they wear, especially watches. In addition, a child’s watch needs to be fun and exciting to keep the child engaged. For this season, we suggest these 10 summer-inspired watches for kids. Any child would love them with their bright colours and fun designs. All watches are splash-resistant and shouldn’t be submerged in water.
