Ds1 really wants a watch for xmas this yr.
what's the best one for a little boy who is just learning the time?

When my ds1 was around this age we got him a flik flak one, they are really tough, ours has had a good hammering from ds1! they come in a few designs too hth

Also agree with the flik flak one - they are made by swatch, I think the easiest place to buy in online

Does he like Lego? They do Star Wars ones, which I have got for DS1 and DS2 this year. Should be on the Lego website.

By oops on Tue 02-Dec-08 14:10:14

Amazon have a great range of childrens watches, pirate one from £6.85 etc. Some from sellers but you can filter the sellers out to just see Amazon and hopefully you'll get free postage.

I got ds a watch from asda that was waterproof etc with little car design on cost about £8 and took a good battering..alas he lost it so could do with replacing it.

we are getting ds a timex time teacher watch, looks good on amazon, it comes in different styles - dinosaurs, tractors, cars etc.

HappyMummy how do you filter out the sellers on Amazon?

Thanks

By HappyMummyOfOne on Wed 03-Dec-08 19:54:20

MiaWallace, search for the item you're after, down the left hand side you can choose by seller and filter Amazon - or choose the option "can be dispatched by Amazon same day" if you want to just look at in stock items rather than all of them.

Thanks

Message

Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,

, type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,

, type [grin] or :o
For a wink,

, type [wink]
For a shocked face,

, type [shock]
For an angry face,

, type [angry]
For an embarrassed face,

, type [blush]
For a sad face,

, type [sad] or :(
For an envious face,

, type [envy]
For a sceptical face,

, type [hmm]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
