It happens so fast – your children are growing up and it's time to start getting them ready for the big wide world: It’s time to teach them how to tell the time! With our tell-the-time watches, they can learn with style. We’ve got some striking colours and styles available, so whether your little one is a shrinking violet or an adventurous little tyke, we’ve got just the thing to help you choose their first time teaching watch.
The Thoughtful
This watch has a dial that is designed to help your child pick up the knack of telling the time in a way that's simple and fun. Markings on the watch face give handy tips on when a time is “past” or “to”, along with “1/4” and “1/2”. Their boldly coloured straps share complementary colour highlights with the watch face and are perfectly designed for little hands to get them on and off a wrist with little need for mum or dad to help. They just hook, loop and adjust to fit!
The Vibrant
Another great selection for the small-of-wrist taking their first steps in a time-keeping world, The Vibrant collection is here with brightly coloured straps in white, pink, navy and blue. Even better – the watch face has easy-to-read hour and minute numbers around the dial, letting your little one master the art of telling the time in no time at all!
The Blossoming
If you’re raising a fun little flower child, then The Blossoming collection is definitely worth your attention. With a selection of stars and flowers on the watches face and strap, these are a really pretty and elegant way to help your child learn how to tell the time. Plus, their easy-to-read hour and minute numbers on the dial are great at helping your child work out the time for themselves without a struggle.
The Excitable
With a scuba-inspired bezel and boldly coloured watch face, you can see why we’ve named this collection The Excitable! They may look grown up, but they’re perfect for all ages, so if you want to teach your child how to tell the time whilst looking stylish, these understated watches are the way to go. The dial even has the minutes on the bezel for easy reference – whether they’re working out what where the big hand is, or how long they’ve got left in the scuba tank! Keep an eye out for barracuda!
The Adventurous
If your little one is always coming home covered in mud and dust, with tales about their latest fort building escapades, then The Adventurous collection features the time teaching watches for them. They’re sturdily built and ready for adventure (hence the name – clever, right?) Their striking hour and minute numbers are easy to read at a glance, and their understated red, navy and black colours will look great on any small wrist.
So, there you have it – five watches that not only help your child take their first steps in learning to tell the time, but make sure they look good doing it no matter what their outfit or personality!
