Mens wrist watches

[Alan Clifford]

Any idea of a good watch for a 12 yr old to wear at Skool.
Plus should it be normal or smart watch.

Can 12 year olds read an analogue clock face these days?

Some cannot!

What's left after a normal or smart watch?

I've got a couple of Moonswatches (because I can't afford a proper Omega.) Have a look at those.

How did you manage that? I fancied one but they always seemed to go out of stock within seconds.

I got the Mars one from Swatch in Vegas and my wife got me Mercury from New York.

Never tried over here as we don't have a store close, I'm pretty sure stock levels are much better now though, worth another try.

Got the Mrs the Mission to Venus last year at Geneva Airport, couldn’t find one over here. The Venus is perfect for a woman to wear.

I know it's been a while, but When it comes to men's wristwatches, it depends on your style and what you want from a watch. Some folks love the classic look of a friendly leather band, while others are all about sporty styles with a bit of flair.

My daily wear is a Depth Charge. Automatic, date and GMT. I paid about £120 for it.
Its supposedly waterproof to 200 meters as well.
It's a total bargain.

Check with the school. Some might not permit smart watches. I invigilate GCSE's and smart watches (and in fact all watches) are prohibited in the exam room. Appreciate he is younger at 12, but worth checking school policy before outlaying.

Indeed, smart devices are not allowed in official exam rooms, just like phones.

Good piece on the news this morning where a guys smart watch went mental re heart rate. Called ambulance, hospital told him he was having a heart attack. Dr reckons if he had not had the warning they would not be having the conversation

Do you know the logic behind this? Why should a mechanical watch be not allowed?

Perhaps it is because invigilators don’t have time to check everyone’s watch whilst trying to get started on time.

That’s like saying that instead they are checking that no one is wearing any watch. Neither is necessary.

Enough of the roll eyes!
Have you any experience of working in education or working an exam room with over 150 candidates?

My omega needs a service. £825 to be serviced by an approved outlet. I can’t justify that at the moment… any advice about alternative options?

Oh my goodness. Would love a high end watch like an Omega, but that is ridiculous.

Who says it needs a service? I have had several Rolex watches over the past 50 years and only had them serviced when they either stopped working or didn't keep good time.
