Ravel Childrens Rocket Watch

Space, it is the final frontier and every child dreams of taking off for the final frontier in search of strange new planets and meeting aliens. They also dream of the day that they are the one who meets and greets the first alien life form to travel to Earth in search of new life. The Ravel Childrens Rocket watch will help your child to keep his dreams alive, you never know he might be the first astronaut to finally land on Mars or meet that alien race as they land on our planet.

On a more earthly note, before he can learn to fly his first spaceship he has to learn how to tell the time. The Ravel Childrens Rocket watch is not only a great timepiece, but it is one Ravel's well known and respected Time Teacher watches that has been specially designed to make it much easier to teach your child to tell time. The center of the face is white with large orange numbers for each of the hours, around this is a split ring covering the minutes. It is split into a grey half for the minutes past the hour and orange for the minutes before the hour.

Time is impeccably kept by a quality quartz analog movement that powers a black minute hand, an orange hour hand and a sweep second hand. Everything is kept running by a long life battery that should last for several years. The band is where all the real action is happening. Made from black polyurethane rubber it is covered with three dimensional space aliens, rocket ships, alien flying saucers and stars in a riot of bright colors. A stainless steel buckle and several corresponding holes make sure that it will fit properly.

To make sure that it does get ruined in the rain or the shower it is water resistant. Since you are probably buying this watch as a gift, it comes in a special multicolored striped pouch that your child can use to store his new watch in when he is not wearing it. It also comes with a one year manufacturer's warranty.

Location: Kent Review Date: 2/16/2010 Pros: Cons: If my son has his way he will be one of the first guys to set foot on Mars. He is an absolute space nut. If it has anything to do with space and rocketships or aliens he loves it. With this in mind we could not have done anything better than buying him this watch. For us though a new watch for him had to go beyond looks, it had to be tough enough to stand up to the daily rough and tumble of our lad. He has had this watch for a while now and despite spending much of its life in the dirt and mud as he builds space stations and launching pads, it is still ticking along quite nicely. While the band has gotten few scratches it still looks good and my son has loved it since the day he opened the package. This is a really good watch for any little boy.
