TimexBoys T71912 Time Machines Digital Green Camouflage Elastic Fabric Strap Watch

This is the best watch I have ever owned. Period. It has a digital clock (with seconds), a chronometer (stopwatch), an alarm (only one) a timer (can go up to 23 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds), and the date and month. I got this watch almost two and a half years ago, and the elastic is still perfectly stretchy, and it still tells time great. I have lost it overnight in a field, lost it in a snowy field (to find it an hour later, undamaged), I have gotten gravel bits in the backlight button (still works perfectly), and the best part is, it’s so comfortable, I can sleep in it! The watch is nice and small, so it can be worn for pretty much anything. I find the bulky watches (or 'big face') very annoying and uncomfortable. I would not recommend the other colors because they do not have elastic bands and are uncomfortable. If the band looks too little kiddish for you (I’m thirteen and I’m fine with it) then you can get a new band, but I would seriously recommend keeping it, because it is very comfortable and easy to adjust. Plus it’s elastic so you can just slip it on instead of having to clip it like a belt, which I find annoying. The watch is not waterproof, so make sure to take it off before you take a bath, shower or go swimming. It is water resistant though, so if you get caught in the rain or something, then it should be fine. I know there are more expensive and ‘nicer’ watches out there, but seriously, you get your money’s worth with this one.

Great for kids

My 10-yr old grandson was so delighted with this birthday gift, he lit right up and exclaimed 'I always wanted a watch!' (Grandmas know everything.) And we are both happy. I like that it's good quality, Timex, a trusted brand, and that he will learn responsibility as he keeps track of time at a friend's house or after school. I like that rain won't ruin it, and that the band is so user friendly. He likes the snazzy look (camo!), alarms and others buzzing sounds, and bells and whistles. He does NOT own a cell phone, so having an alarm and timer is exciting to him. He figured out how to program it within about 15 min. All this, AND it is indiglo. My grandson's remark was 'I want a watch too' so he will be getting the analog version for his Nov birthday. Everybody happy,

My 10 yr old son loves this watch. It sets next to his glasses every night and every morning the watch gets put on right after his glasses.... Its easy for him to use... he figured it out befor I did! I bought this for him 10 months ago and it still works the only thing wrong with it is the back light went out about 6 months ago. But the alarm works great, he has a hard time getting up in the morning so he has 2 alarm clocks and his watch set 5 minutes apart. Otherwise if this watch ever breaks i will be buying the same one....Update-my 11 year old boy is going on 18 months of use. He still wears the watch everyday. we have not had to change the battery and nothing has broken on it!!!Updat-2 years later the watch is still working and is still worn everyday!!! what a great watch!!!

I will probably buy this watch for my son a 3rd time, because he loves the style so much. The first one lasted for about a year, till he shattered the face, falling on it while rollerskating. The second one also lasted a little over a year. Although the face seems to be intact, it is no longer water proof. After wearing it swimming all summer, it fogged up, the numbers started fading, and now it has stopped working.The band looked fairly frayed after a short time of constant wear, but my son enjoys the rugged look. It did not stay secure, but it was easy to sew a few stitches on the band to fit his wrist, and he could slip it on and off because of the elasticity.For the price, I don't mind purchasing the watch again, with the expectation that it will not last more than a year.

This watch was a gift for my 8 year old. He has smaller than average size wrists, and the watch fits him well. It adjusts down in size enough that it fits my 3 year old, and it goes up enough to fit me (also small wrists).The watch has lots of fun things to do. My boys set alarms for different things, timed everything they could, and toggled between 12 and 24 h times (6pm or 1800). They needed a little help figuring out how to do it, but got it going quickly after the help.The watch has been in the shower a few times with no problems, but we try to keep it out as a general rule. It has been dropped and even thrown, and it looks as good as new. My kids love the camo band, and they especially love the timer and indiglo button.Highly recommended.
