For generations, choosing a suitable watch for your son or daughter has been a headache. How do you find a model which offers plenty of functionality and is tough enough to withstand the rigours of everyday life on the wrist of a child! However, there are now some excellent waterproof watches designed specifically for young wearers which give parents peace of mind, but which also suit the tastes of kids. Here are just a few of the very best on the market today for you to choose from.
1. Timex Kids’ T71912 Digital Watch
Timex has been one of the best-known watch brands for more than a century and a half, and this one certainly lives up to its reputation for quality. Functional yet affordable, this digital watch has a camouflage print elastic fabric strap which is stylish and comfortable to wear.
The digital display is easy to read, while a timer and an alarm feature will help your child be on time. There’s also a night-light, a chronograph and water resistance built in. The band can easily be adjusted to fit even the smallest wrist and with its elasticated fabric, it can be put on and taken off with no problems.
Older children can set this watch and adjust it themselves, giving them greater independence; along with its budget-friendly price tag, it’s a great choice for parents who want their kids to have a“proper”watch but without spending a fortune.
2. Timex Kids’ T79051 “My First” Watch
For older children who are transitioning from a watch aimed at young kids to a more adult model, the Timex Kids’ T79051 is a great choice. Its stylish yet robust black canvas strap features a Velcro fastener so your son or daughter can easily put it on or take it off independently.
It also features an analogue display which is very useful when teaching children have to read the time properly. Its quartz movement ensures accuracy while its protective crystal window ensures it remains resilient and resistant to damage and scratches; something which is all-too-likely to occur when worn by a child! The watch also features luminosity, a second hand and is water resistant down to 99 feet.
Thanks to its plain black and stainless steel appearance, this watch can be worn for all occasions, even school. Furthermore, the larger than average numbers on the face make it easier for children to tell the time.

6. SZBXD Waterproof Kids’ Smartwatch
Smartwatches are all the rage at the moment, but some of the adult-oriented smartwatches are unsuitable for young children because of their complexity or fragility.
The SZBXD waterproof kids’ smartwatch is the ideal solution. Ideally suited to children aged between five and nine years of age; this model comes with its own inbuilt GPS tracker for monitoring your child. It’s capable of both receiving and making calls thanks to the micro-chat voice feature. It is also waterproof for peace of mind.

These are just six of the best waterproof watches on the market today aimed at young children. One of these models is sure to be ideal for your son or daughter.
How Do We Test Smartwatches?
We take pride in the amount of time and effort that we put into testing and reviewing smartwatches. We know that you’re relying on us to give you the key information that you need to decide whether a certain model is right for your needs, and that’s why we put each and every one through its paces with a rigorous approach to testing.
We examine the design of each watch to see whether it’s stylish and appealing while also remaining highly functional and easy to use. Is it comfortable to wear? Does it look good on wrists of all sizes? Does it offer customisation options or interchangeable straps and faces? We examine all of these elements.
We look closely at integrated features and fitness tracking capabilities. Is there GPS? Are there LTE capabilities? Can you make contactless payments? Is there storage for songs and podcasts? Sleep tracking and activity tracking for different sports? We test these elements and look at the effect that each have on the power, processing capacity, memory and battery life of each device.
Then we bring all this information together in an informative review so that you can make the best choice about whether the smartwatch that we’re reviewing is really the best one for your requirements.
