I wanted a watch for my 12 year old that she would actually wear and wouldn't upset me if she lost it. She chose this watch and loves it. She finds it easy to read and use, and a couple of times when she forgot to put it on while washing her hands or face, it has effectively repelled water. Sweet, girly watch with no frills. The face is quite small and the strap is thin, so it is not recommended for adults to wear it with a serious face.
