I think I may have finally found decent watch for my 4 year old lol

[GB-man]

My soon to be 4 year old has been bugging me for a watch that glows in the dark like dads and recently tried to commandeer my wife's 31mm oyster perpetual siting it was his size and not her size He even went so far as to tell me when I was putting him to bed last night that he wanted a watch collection



Mind you I have never told him I collected watches or used that terminology nor has my wife although it is evident to anyone I spend way too much time fiddling with watches. Anyways its slim pickings in the 28-32mm segment for kids and I just don't love the parchie pal stuff. I came across momentum watches which claim to be assembled in Canada. It is a Japanese quartz movement, 100m wr, 32mm by 10mm thick titanium case. Most importantly its lumed and rather tasteful in execution I feel.



Just figured I would throw it out there as I am sure there are other nut jobs like me looking for kids watches. This could surely work for much older kids too. Will update when it lands.

Edit(forgot to mention I found a discount code FB10 for 10% off)

I dig it

Also, I like that he took a run at the Rolex. Go big or go home

Thanks for this!

Last Christmas I got our four year old a watch box and filled it with some fun watches…Snoopy Swatch, Snoopy Timex, Paw Patrol kids watch, dinosaur watch, old Tag Heuer. He keeps it in his room and is so proud. So fun watching him gaze at his collection :)

That is fantastic. Great work

My wife sent him packing. He woke her up at 5am with it in hand trying to proclaim it his. He took the L there

Sounds like what my son has in mind. Glad to be of help. Let’s hope it’s decent.

Looks fantastic Tom

Wrist shot when it lands please

Good find. Just a thought, you may need to be prepared to punch an extra hole in the strap.

[RW16610]

That's ideal, he's going to love it!

Yeah I was thinking the same thing. I’ll rig it up somehow. Might take some creativity or even a different strap altogether. Will let everyone know when I get it.

love it! very cool watch and i look forward to hearing your thoughts.

[GB-man]

It landed and he loves it! I just poked a new hole with a thumb tack and it seems to be working fine. One thing I dislike is only the hands are lumed but for 180 bucks I guess I won’t complain. He’s super excited it’s water proof and has the lume.

[RW16610]

It looks great on his wrist! This is the perfect starter watch, for sure. I'll ignite the passion for others in the future. I've been into watches since his age, so I can 100% see it happening.

Great! Hope he loves it. I also trimmed the strap with a razor almost like a 5167 so there wasn’t too much tail on it. You’ll see. Easy.

Patek for sure.

[GolfJunkie]

My boy was so excited when he opened the box! He won’t take it off and is so proud of it. He said “dad, my watch is the coolest. Yours is kind of cool but mines better” lol best $200 I’ve ever spent on a watch!

Looking good! Glad he likes it! My kid has already worn it in the pool and bath haha so far so good.

[RW16610]

Nice one, Eric! Glad to see you ended up getting one of these as well. It truly makes me so happy to see more of the younger generation getting into these at that age.

Best of all, this piece seems fairly well built so can stand the test or time, or at least be repaired if needed in the distant future.

That looks great, glad you're starting him young!

Looks like a nice little watch. Is your kiddo a lefty?
