Probably going to use these for my students with autism to follow our class schedule...hope they fit kids well!

I'm not sure what a person with five watches is, but:

"A man with a watch knows what time it is. A man with two watches is never sure."
- Segal's Law

I really want to like this for all the pretty colors, but I can no more wear a digital watch than I could type a letter using comic book sans. I JUST CAN'T!!

Yea I imagine you wanna just throw these away. O, those poor landfills.

Are they adjustable? Want to get them for my 2 sons and a couple of their cousins. Colors are kind of inconsequential for that purpose.

Hard to find much about them. Makes me wonder if they're unloading them for a reason.

Probably because these $0.04 items aren't worth the storage space they take up.

Buying 2, one for each of my girls. I think both the teen and the 8-year-old will love matching them with outfits. Just hope one doesn't have better colors than the other. We will be in for a big battle, lol.

I thought of buying these guys for kid watches, but since they'd last less than a day apiece, even $1.75 seems wasteful.

I won't actually wear them, but I can keep them in my bag or by my towel without fear of theft, loss, or incidental water/sand damage. I still contend these would be great beach or pool time pieces for those that use cell phones for watches.

Now, as for why anyone would need to keep track of time while on vacation...

In for 2 packs. These will be great for my teenage son to give a Christmas gifts. Inexpensive - check! Fun - check! Colorful - maybe!

How do they taste?

The past tense of piddle?

A lot like a Timex but saltier.

mjba601 wrote:What's a peddle?

n. A singular attempt to sell something people probably don't want.

Seems apt.

Reminds me of those "Livestrong" and "I Heart B00bies" bracelets you see kids wearing, but instead of supporting some inane cause, they have a watch in them. Meh.

Since my wrist is only 16.5cm I know these would be way too big for my 8-year-old. Wonder how it would work hooked to a backpack on a carabiner?

I can't speak for all Southpaws, but for myself, wearing my watch on my right wrist has never affected how I use a computer mouse. Then again, I set up my computers with the mouse on the left side of the desk.

Darn useful for me a "hardcore leftie" as my family refers to me.

Bonus hilariety ensues when a right handed
co worker goes to use my computer and swipes their dominate hand looking for a mouse and finding nothing there.

I am not a very small person but my wrist is 13 to 15 cm. So, children wouldn't be able to hold these watches on their wrists!

Here are some reviews from the UK site. I am in for two.

You must have a pretty terrible life if you consider cancer an "inane cause".

I became a member of woot for this.

Clever way of disposing non-biodegradable trash and getting people to pay for it. I'm sure this pays better than carbon credits.

Bought one. They seem nice. Hopefully I get a variety of colors.

How can something be "resistant to 10 feet"? resistant suggests incidental contact - a splash for example. How does one get a ten foot deep splash?!

I'm in. Xmas shopping for the kids is almost done. (I try to get it over with before Halloween--that way I have all year to find deals!) Thank you WOOT!

perfect for kids...send em out to play and they'll know what time to be home. plus, who gives a cr*p if they lose a watch worth a buck or two!

I was thinking more along the lines of Lance Armstrong and doping, but you make an excellent point. My bad.

No stopwatch, No alarm.

Sure. Count the colon flashes.

Dang...if these had a stopwatch I would buy. Would be nice for running.

narquespamley wrote:Sure. Count the colon flashes.

I don't know if I'd get too far past "one" before calling an ambulance...

Sweet! Five watches! One for each limb. Does woot do interplanetary shipment?

blue_94_trooper wrote:Measure again, that's barely bigger than my thumb.

18cm is just over 7 inches. That would be one huge thumb!

I agree with the previous poster 18cm is huge for a woman's wrist. I was thinking of getting these for my kids, but there is no way it would stay on their wrists.

I have a different Brio watch and they are very comfortable. Simple with just the time but who really needs more then that even when running. Just look at when you start and end and figure out the difference

does anyone know how much these stretch? while 18cm is loose on my wrist, I cannot comfortably get it slipped over my hand (but my test material doesn't give at all) and the 20 slips on easy (which then leaves room to fall off)

I bought two. Hopefully that'll get me the colors I want!!

Replacing the battery would cost more than the watch. Disposable watch.

This is not about the watches . I was wondering how i can track something i ordered.

ramcoman wrote:Are these swiss movement jewel watchs? I mean i don't want no crap for almost a buck seventy five each.

More like $2.60 each after shipping unless you want 15 watches which makes it about $2 each.
