My oldest son (10) has become somewhat obsessed with G-Shocks. Are there any that would be a good size for a kid?

They make a "baby g", which is intended for ladies...might give that a look. Not sure on sizes but you can guarantee they're smaller than standard.

He has great taste! To answer your question, no (as far as I know)...the smallest is a 43mm case, which is still larger than an Omega Seamaster (new models are 42mm), or a Rolex Sub (latest model is 41mm). I think 43mm would look pretty big on a 10yr old wrist and the strap probably wouldn't fit around a small wrist.

While it's no G-shock, I believe Timex Ironman and Timex Marathons come in smaller sizes; they are decent.

G-Shocks rock. If I ever trade up from my f-91w, that's the way I'd go.

Those new clear g-shocks are pretty cool.

Swear there's a feckin' quartz movement in this Kamasu...been tracking it with the WatchCheck app (geek alert) and it's now averaging +1.3 a day on wrist for the last 3 weeks.

I mean, for a sub $200 mechanical in-house...shazam

That's crazy! Them engineers at Seiko know how to build an inexpensive and great watch. COSC levels, comfortably.

I think Pulsar is a brand that punches above its weight.

I bought this a few years ago, still going OK, and probably paid about £50 for it.

I’ve got 2 an every day and a dress.

My everyday is an Omega Speedmaster 35th Annivsary of Apollo 11 special edition. I could do with sending it off to have the glass and bracelet replaced to be honest.

My dress is an IWC Chronograph Automatic in Rose gold. Don’t wear that to often though

Those are great watches! You don't see too many rose gold IWC's around these parts.

Thank you verreauxi, I just thought the rose gold was a little bit different though it comes with a black face and I do like that one to
