Watch for 5 year old

Eldest lad turns 5 soon

he has asked for a watch

anyone got any suggestions for a nice watch that will help a kid learn to tell the time..

was thinking one with digits but also an analog overlay so as to help learn the hands... tried amazon but didn't find anything along those line. Might be - something like that doesn't exist.

Any suggestions?

Something cheap from Argos, would be my first port of call.

I got the flik flak swatch watch in swatch shop on grafton street for my 5 year old daughter for €40.
My son has a similar one for over a year and it is very durable and waterproof.
A fabric strap is best as plastic previously caused sweating underneath and then dry skin/ rash.
I chose a clock face as I teach teenagers and a huge amount of them can't read a clock.
I see it's cheaper online too.

Doesn't matter of they can't read a clock. Everything I look at to tell the time is digital. I've only looked at clock faces again because I've been teaching my son how to tell the time. And to be honest, he's too young to multiply in 5's and can find the minutes confusing.
