Kids are funny

A few months back, my wife and I took our 10yr old son with us to our local Jeweler /AD to get a necklace fixed. Instead of my son following his mother to the jewelry counter, he walked over to the Rolex display and picked out what appeared to be a two tone woman’s Datejust... Not knowing, he was under the assumption that the smaller watches were made for kids.

After shaking my head l, laughing, and saying no, He also told me that he had 5th grade school pictures coming up and he wanted to have one of his own to wear... Again, after laughing even harder, I had to tell him that he will have to earn his own one day, but for now he needs to stick with his digital Casio.... Some of the things we see and hear as parents are priceless, as is the perspective of a child.

Perhaps your son would like to have a nice, inexpensive, analog watch.

Sounds like a perfect Swatch candidate! That’s what I wore in the 5th grade.

You could get him a “Day Date.”

Yeah, look into other options more suitable for his age that he'll appreciate in a similar way! An interest in traditional watches seems much less common these days
