A watch is a timepiece or clock that is worn on the wrist. In addition to its practical function to read the time, it is also often considered a decorative accessory.
Girls therefore often start earlier than boys.
Some people also see it as a status symbol if a watch is from a certain brand.
This appeals to boys at a younger age than girls.
There are three types of watches for children:
- Analog Kids Watch
- Digital Kids Watch
- Kids SmartWatch

From what age do you buy a watch for your child?
The best thing is to buy a watch when they also show an interest in telling the time. A watch just for decoration, they can ask for that from 4 years, but that is not very convenient.
Most children learn to tell time from the age of XNUMX or XNUMX when they enter kindergarten.
At that age, the concept of hours and minutes kicks in and they can begin to tell the time on a clock with numbers.
At this age, a digital watch fits best, but they won't do much with it yet. Showing the time on your own watch is enough. So unless they have an extreme interest in telling the time, 6 years is a good age to start.
As your child has trouble learning to tell time, do not worry. There are plenty of ways to help them practice and eventually they will get the hang of it.
A kid's smartwatch could be from the age of 8, when they're more out and about on their own and you might want to keep track of where they are, or want them to be able to make calls without you having to hand over a phone.
Is there a kids Apple Watch?
There is no Apple Watch specifically made for children, but teenagers can generally already wear an Apple Watch, although it is very pricey. That's why the cheaper Apple Watch SE the most popular Apple smartwatch for kids.
