What watch will you buy for your child?

[jazziceman]

I will never buy them any luxury watch.

to me; this is something they have to earn for themselves, not through or from parents.

If I really want to buy them; it will be when they settle down, have a family. I will then get them a nice DJ.

by giving them something of that value at a young age; it's as good as telling them papa is rich, I can live off him. sorry but it's just me and my mindset.

For me, they should be happy I buy them a 15 bucks casio . The most expsensive watch I ever got was a 100 bucks swatch when I was in Secondary. All the G-shocks, Baby G and stuff were out of my reach. In my time, a GUESS watch was already a big hooha :P

Not being miser (assuming I can afford haha), but I personnally feel that a lot of kids are being spoilt at a young age. such that they no longer understand the value of 'money' as well as differntiating between needs and luxury.

e.g. at a young age, already always eating at restaurants, must have air-con, always take taxis, ipad, mobile, ps3, etc etc.

if they want a rolex/tag/omega/IWC, work for one just like daddy and mummy

I will not buy any watches for my children. They will not learn to treasure the watches till they earn it for themselves. Anyway, I try not to poison them too. Heehee!

[lolex kia]

Casio G-Shock

Wow...it seems like Casio G-shock is the hot favorite for most of the bros here (for their kids I mean). Their branding seems to be pretty well entrenched here. Am surprised no one mentioned Swatch, which was pretty popular in my younger days. I wouldn't mind getting a Swatch for my kids, designs are pretty cool and it's swiss :P

Flik flaks are by swatch.....for the younger children.

I will still buy them one when they are still a kid if I can afford, keep it as like new condition till their 21years old birthday. Very meaningful when they see the watch is born same year same date..
Just my thought and I'm doing that..

I did just that When my baby (first and only) was born, i set in place things that will assure her the only 3 things that will be presented to her when she comes of age. A good education (edusave topup + balance); a good watch (Lange); and a good writing instrument (Montegrappa)
