Simple analogue or digital clocks are ideal for first-graders as they are easy to read. They help to learn the time while kids develop their own sense of time. A simple model for a black or white digital watch for children is, for example, the BGD-5650-1. The blue and white LRW-200H-2 BV is a good choice for a small analogue watch. It is also available in a pink and white design.

When buying a watch, the focus should be on design, learning factor and durability. The watch should match your individual taste, help them learn to tell the time and be robust enough for everyday use.
