Watch for 11 year old girl

Dd would like a watch for school.
She’s not particularly sporty or trendy.
Likes rose gold type accessories.
Any suggestions for something that will withstand school (including the frequent hand washing!) but that she’ll like?

What’s your budget? Swatch do some nice watches for about £50.

Dietbet · 02/10/2020 22:47

£50 sounds reasonable.
Should also mention she’s fairly tiny so I would think most women’s ones would be too big.
Do teenagers even wear watches or do they just use those phones?

Either a swatch like this:

Or an entry level fitbit to track her steps. Even if she's not sporty, I think all girls like to track their steps:

I personally wouldn't get one with roman numerals for a child. Too confusing.

Never mind Dd-I like the Olivia Burton one!

I think something like the changeable straps one would actually appeal but it looks tricky to tell the actual time and probably wouldn’t be v hard wearing. Plus I’m trying to steer her towards something slightly more grown up rightly or wrongly!

Swatch or Fitbit look promising-I’ll see if she likes them.

My daughter got a very pale pink swatch when she was 11 still wears it few years on. It works for school, home and parties etc.
It's not wow or super cool but it's waterproof, easy to tell time on and she loves it.
