Kids' Watches

Kids watches in this selection come from Ice Watch, Timex, and Lacoste — three brands that approach children's timekeeping from different angles — with prices running from around $40 to roughly $150. That range covers first watches for young children learning to read a clock all the way up to feature-led pieces for older kids.

Analogue or digital: choosing the right movement for a child

For children who are still learning to tell the time, an analogue watch with a clear dial — large numerals, bold hour and minute hands, and a contrasting face — is genuinely useful. Timex has long built its kids' line around this idea, with time-teacher dials that colour-code the hour and minute zones to make reading easier. Digital watches suit older children who already know the time and want features such as alarms, stopwatches, or step tracking. Ice Watch's junior smart range sits in this space, adding connected features while keeping the case proportions appropriate for smaller wrists.

Case size, strap fit, and durability

Children's watches typically run between 28 mm and 36 mm in case diameter. A case that is too large sits uncomfortably and is more likely to be knocked. Strap adjustability matters more for kids than adults because wrists grow quickly — look for multiple buckle holes or a flexible resin band. Resin and plastic cases handle drops and playground wear far better than metal at this age. Water resistance of at least 30 metres (3 ATM) is a practical baseline; it covers hand-washing and splashing, though not swimming laps. For active children, 50 metres (5 ATM) is a more reliable everyday rating.

The selection is split by gender — browse boys' watches or girls' watches to narrow the range. Ice Watch covers the digital and smart-junior end of the range, while Timex concentrates on analogue time-teacher and character-licensed styles suited to younger children. If you are choosing a gift, the Gift Shop brings together ideas across watches and jewellery. For adult watches by the same brands, the full catalogue is available across the men's and women's sections.
