Have I missed anything? (Watch for kid.)

[mongrelnomoad]

Hey all... so a while ago I bought my now-11 year old daughter a Timex x Peanuts.



Fast-forward six months and the watch just emerged dead from the washing machine which, really, is on me. I mean: who buys a kid a 30m WR watch?

So I'm looking for a replacement up to around £300. The obvious options are a G-shock (she's currently using one of my squares, and though she likes it, prefers analogue) or a Seiko 5 Sport. The Casioak is huge, and the Seiko is (and here I quote) "an old man's watch", which was also levelled at the PRX and Timex's entire water-resistant range.

Are there any other options that I'm missing?

Parchiepal is wr and cute.

My hobbit-sized wife wears one.

They're quite cute. Wasn't this the company started by one of the Hodinkee columnists?

Edited: ugh. 30m WR. That's out.

What about one of these (if everyone wants to up their watch game):

There's also the PR100 and Seastar options...

If she liked the previous one, this one has 50m (and you could get a colorful strap):

How about the Seiko snoopy just recently released? Also an old mans watch?

I love them and they were the first I showed her. That was her response.

Young people nowadays. ;)

That's a great watch you got for her! Timex was the first major brand that got me passionate about watches as a child. Always happy to see younger ones getting into actual watches, and I'm sure you'll find the right one to get next.

That’s very cool. I’ll pass it by her…

Thanks! Saves her stealing mine (usually)!

I have a feeling this will also be considered an old mans watch, but how about a Tissot PRX, they have them in ladies sizes and with a quartz movement:

“Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeew!”

Ok, got one more for you: Zeno. Not sure if they're really any good or not, but seem nice enough for the price, and some cool retro-esque designs (always like their 1016 homage). This is one I can see a typical 11-year-old girl gravitating towards but probably others, too:

Not as cool as the Memphis Tissot, IMO, but might be more her style?

Oh that’s left field! I’ll run it by her…

I would browse the Swatch site. I'll bet she would dig it.

WR is an issue, and I don't think she'd find the idea of a purposefully disposable watch appealing when she could buy a G-shock designed to be indestructible for the same money.

Haha! I have a feeling my taste in watches is rather disjoint from hers...

The Hamilton Khaki Field in 38mm is probably a couple hundred bucks more, but it's a lot of watch and has plenty of looks. Still might have old man vibes :)
