Watches

Officially Licensed Junior LED and Time Teacher Watches

A children's section more than an adult one, and mostly character-led. Junior LED watches cover Batman, the Avengers, Paw Patrol, Toy Story, Monster High, Kuromi and Minecraft, while time teacher watches — marked to help a child read the hands — run across Harry Potter, Disney Princess and Liverpool's Liverbird and crest designs. Club digital and silicone watches from Chelsea and Real Madrid complete it.

LED or time teacher?

Pick by whether the child can tell the time yet. Time teacher watches use a clear analogue face with the minutes marked out, and they exist to be learned on, usually from around five or six. LED watches show a digital readout at the press of a button, which younger children find easier and more fun, but they teach nothing about reading a clock.

Is it a real watch or a toy?

These are working quartz and digital watches with replaceable batteries and adjustable straps, not sealed novelties. They are splash resistant rather than swim-proof, which is the practical limit worth knowing before it goes near a bath.
