Review of Kids' Timex Watch - Geckos

I'm an adult with small wrists, so I usually wear kid sized watches. I got this watch as a cheap, fun watch to wear in situation where I didn't want to risk ruining one of my good watches. I got a kick out of watching the little lizards going round in circles. (I'm pathetically easy to amuse.) The indiglo feature was very useful at night. The water resistancy seemed decent enough; the watch continued working after I wore it in the shower. The watch performed its duties adequately until the battery died. By that time the watch was so beat up I just threw it away instead of replacing the battery.
Things I didn't like about the watch:
-Crystal didn't hold up to being sprayed with bug repellant. It got cloudy.
-Elastic band gave up the ghost about the time the battery died. Perhaps it didn't like sunscreen and bug repellant either.
-Ticking second hand was rather loud. I used to wrap the watch in a shirt or a scarf when I took it off for the night.

All in all, it's an ok watch if you just want something functional and don't expect heirloom quality.
