Hi all,

I'm looking for a tough watch for my 7 year old to wear. Nothing too fancy, just able to stand up to a bit of abuse. Something along the lines of a g-shock but they're too big and pricey. it would preferably an analogue one as well.

I can't seem to find much on a web trawl that fits the bill.

My 8yr old has an Ice Watch, seems great. Come in every colour imaginable, robust enough. Lots of fakes around so buy from a reputable place.

Do kids still wear watches? I'd have thought they'd just look at their phones.

My first watches were cheap (like, two quid) clones of the Casio watches favoured by beardy bomb makers these days. I'd suggest perhaps that if you can't find "rugged" go for "cheap".

I tried Decathlon when I was that age. Broke my Quickshot II.

I got the basic Casio digital one for my lad. For £7, I'm not fussed if it gets broken. He's 7 btw.

Edit: Sorry, missed the analogue part 😳

about £30, so cheaper than a g-shock and analogue
