First watches for learning to tell the time

Looking for a child’s first watch? The right model can help children learn to tell the time, support their independence and quickly become a favourite everyday accessory thanks to its attractive design. It is therefore worth choosing a watch that is easy to read, comfortable to wear and suited to the child’s age and abilities.

For learning to tell the time, we primarily recommend children’s analogue watches. Their traditional dials help children better understand the relationship between hours and minutes. The ICE-Watch Learning collection is an excellent choice, as it was designed especially for children who are beginning to learn how to tell the time. Thanks to colour-coded hour and minute hands, children can compare the numerals with the hands more easily and gradually learn to read an analogue dial in a natural and enjoyable way.

Disney children’s watches are also very popular. They feature iconic fairy-tale characters and favourite film heroes. Familiar characters encourage children to wear their first watch every day, making learning to tell the time even more enjoyable.
