Best Kid's Watch in 2022

We're keen on teaching our kids to tell the time properly. This is so they know when it's time to go to school, when it's time to go to bed, when it's time to go upstairs and play and let us finish our coffee before it gets cold for once... To do this, a child-friendly timepiece they will be excited to wear is essential. From butterflies to dinosaurs, we have clocked up a tidy selection of watches to get your little one up to speed with all things temporal.

Timex Digital Watch

Kids will like this watch's magical "Indiglo" button below the face that lights up the display so they can tell the time in the dark. There's also a stopwatch, alarm, and a removable strap.

Mice watch

Minnie Mouse Analog Watch

What we love about this watch is that it has "HOUR" and "MINUTE" written on the hands to help children differentiate between the different units of time.

Colored Lights Kids Watch

A distinctive timepiece for older children, this has sleek good looks and a clean digital display, but obviously, its big selling point is lighting up that cool, colorful watch face.

Time flies

Dodosky 3D Butterfly Watch

Embossed with beautiful butterflies, the second hand is a flower icon that ticks round — fun —but also helpful to any child confused about too many hands to read.

The color of time

Timex Analog Black Watch

There's something funky about this that brings out the kid in us. It brings a splash of color with the fun numerals. The resin case and washable strap take care of the practicalities.

Sprinkles with that?

Watchitude Slap Watch

Finally, a fun, casual design that kids will enjoy playing with. This has a "slap band" action that wraps the flexible strap around a wrist, adjusting to fit any size.

Time's up…

Any of these watches will help your child learn how to tell the time, but if you want to give them an extra boost in that department, the official Disney Minnie Mouse watch (opens in new tab) with units on the hands will help the hours and minutes message sink in.

Learning how to tell the time on a digital interface is just as crucial as analog time-telling. And the camouflaged-themed LED sport watch (opens in new tab) offers a large, clear display which your kid should find easy to read.

We're going old school with our most recommended option though. The blue and red Timex kid's watch (opens in new tab) is a timeless option that thousands of children have learned how to tell the time on. Why not consider carrying on the tradition for another generation?
