For a 2 year old boy, a gold YM 2 is the obvious choice. He can learn some of his colors, how to count up to 10, and in a few years be the only kid in kindergarden who knows how to correctly spell "Yacht" which is a huge bragging right for any parent to bore others with. In the meantime, he'll have 5 pointers to be mesmerized by and buttons to push to make some "Go" and "Stop". The complexity of the dial, hands, and buttons and how they are interrelated should serve as a device to expand his little growing mind if it doesn't actually confuse and cause him give up thinking out of frustration...essentially making him dumber... but it's worth the risk especially if you can have more kids. Additionally, it's too big to be successfully flushed down into the plumbing and any Rolex is WR to even the deepest toilet bowl depth so no worries when he's in his throwing-everything-in-there phase.

Finally, since he's entering his Terrible Twos, if you're not one of those lazy huggy-fluff dads who ascribes to the mis-guided notion that allowing public temper tantrums and enabling proto-brattiness are just signs of his developing boy-child psyche and therefore does nothing about it, causing the rest of us to suffer, you'll need some sort of corralling and mild punishment device, and the YM2 fits the bill. If it becomes his favorite toy, you can take it away from him. If he keeps wandering off, you can wrap the bracelet a couple time around his leg to wear it as a sort of really expensive ball and chain. If that isn't enough, both ankles in the bracelet serves as a hobble. If he gets into putting his head small places, getting stuck between stair rails etc, have him wear it around his neck as a yoke collar to break him of that. If he's picking his nose all the time or learning to stick things into electrical sockets, a "time-out" with his arms secured with the YM 2 around his elbows behind his back works well and with the handy feature of having the timer for measuring when 10 minutes is up right there in front of you, but not him. You could also keep it on a longer NATO strap for looping around his head if you need something big, heavy, and gold to cover his mouth when he's acting-up vocally in public. Remember, kids learn quickly that threats are of no use if you don't follow through.

Then when he's an older, well-adjusted young man on is way to a successful adulthood because you raised him right, he'll thank you for his YM2 with all it's battle scars from his childhood.
