Does your child need a waterproof watch?
Did you know that, alongside our standard and camo watches, we also offer a waterproof watch range?
Children are always finding themselves in situations where they need to tell the time, and our waterproof options mean they can do this no matter where they are – whether it’s a family day out, a rainy adventure, or even a swimming lesson!
Even if your child isn’t often to be found at the swimming baths, our waterproof watches are ideal for young learners who are always on the go. Their waterproof properties mean that they can enjoy their usual activities without worry, so let’s find out if this is the best watch for your little one.
An EasyRead waterproof watch
We all know that practice makes perfect, and being able to tell the time on the go will lead to increased independence and confidence as they grow. All of our EasyRead watches are designed to help young learners practice their skills wherever they go, and we are particularly proud of our popular EasyRead waterproof watches.
The cases are stainless steel, and the glass is scratch-resistant, so there’s no chance of even a drop of water making its way into the mechanism. The washable nylon straps are also water-resistant, and our watches are suitable for all water-based activities; although it is worth bearing in mind that we don’t recommend wearing them in a hot bath!
So, how do you know that one of our waterproof designs is the best watch for your little one?
1. They love to splash in puddles
It can be hard to reign in your little one’s enthusiasm for muddy puddles and playing out in the rain, particularly during the wet British winters, and waterproof watches are a game-changer.
They are splash-resistant and ideal for active outdoor play in all weather conditions, so your little ones can spend as much time as they like playing outdoors without needing to keep their watch covered. Even if they don’t usually play outdoors, a regular watch could easily be splashed in the playground or on the walk home from school, so don’t risk any damage to your child’s new watch by opting for a waterproof design.
2. They have a swimming club
Young children often use their watches to keep track of their daily activities and work out how long they have been doing a particular activity (or how long is left of a lesson until lunch!). So, if your time-conscious little one has grown used to having their own watch, they may find it difficult to enjoy a swimming lesson or dip in the pool without knowing the time.
Our EasyRead watches solve this problem, as they are waterproof up to 50m and can be worn for all water-based activities. This helps children keep track of their time without any water-damage and also makes it easier for you to get them out of the water without too much fuss once their time is up!
3. They spend plenty of time outdoors
If you’re lucky enough to have children that love to spend time outside and enjoy plenty of outdoor activities, then don’t let a fragile watch get in the way of their adventures!
Whether they attend a woodland adventure club, nature classes, or an after school club that spends lots of time outdoors during the summer, we highly recommend gifting them a waterproof watch that suits their requirements. Thorns, brambles and twigs are also no match for our watches’ scratch-resistant glass, and our washable nylon strap can get as wet and muddy as needed, so even if they come home with dirty clothes and scratched fingers we guarantee they will have been able to count every second of their activities!
4. You’ve planned a poolside holiday
Summer is almost here, which means 6 fun-filled weeks packed with adventures!
If you’ve got big plans for days spent lounging by the hotel pool, or you’ve shelled out for an AirBnB with a private tub, then pack a waterproof watch into your little one’s suitcase for them to find on arrival. All that’s left to do then is to give them a time limit for their pool time each day and to enjoy your relaxing time by the pool as a family.
Our watches can also help to avoid the dreaded complaints of being bored and asking to leave the pool after just a few minutes. We often update our blog with fun games to play with our watches, and our waterproof watches can also be used for a range of fun, pool-based activities, so why not try:
- Timed races
- Games of tag
- Diving for underwater pool floats with a timer
- Timed matches of pool volleyball
- An underwater obstacle course
5. They need a more durable watch
Just because our watches are waterproof doesn’t mean you have to use them in water to make the most of them!
Wearing a watch helps children to become more independent, but we all know that little ones can easily break small accessories whilst playing, or forget that they are wearing an important tool that needs to be taken care of. They may even stop participating in the activities that they love over worries around breaking their new watch, and for many of our customers, our waterproof watches represent the peace of mind that comes from giving a growing child a resilient tool that won’t break or let them down.
So, if you are looking for a watch for your little one, but worried that it will quickly be damaged or broken, our waterproof options are the perfect solution for you.
