Depends on the teenager, all kids mature at different stages in their life. Maybe not fully, but enough in most cases.

I mean the subject was "quotes for son's 1st watch," and he asked for something "funny and inspirational," so not sure how so many folks misunderstood tbh.

“ This is the time to remember
Cause it will not last forever
These are the days
To hold on to
Cause we won't
Although we'll want to
This is the time
But time is gonna change
You've given me the best of you”

It’s here! Anybody want to guess what the AD was willing to let go for a 16 year old kid. Granted I have a little pull, but there is always way bigger whales, I’m probably just a small fish...

"Remember this, when you're picking out my assisted living home".

Seriously, I wouldn't engrave. A letter accompanying the watch, even a nice card. As for the sentiment, I will offer what my dad said to me, when he gave me his own Omega Speedmaster Professional...

Thats an amazing gift. I gave my son a GMT around his age and he cherishes it and understands how special it is. I’m glad you got the watch already as you’d probably get a boat load of responses telling you not to buy a watch like that for a 15yr old.
