I'm not impressed by the quality of MK watches - BUT I'm sure my parents felt the same way about some things I purchased when I was 17 (anyone remember parachute pants?).
It's not an easy decision. If you choose to buy the watch then are you setting her up to make mindless purchases in the future? If you choose not to buy the watch and teach her about automatic/quartz etc will she feel the need to tell her friends that they are making poor decisions?
I say do both - buy her the watch AND teach her about quality. That way when it falls apart she knows why.
