It is a bit more expensive, but I have had one for about 20 years and like it.
My only issue is that the band is a bit short for my thick wrist. I have had zero problems with it in that time. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000EQS1JW?tag=arfcom00-20 |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Your son swims 100 meters deep? The “meters” has nothing to do with what WR meaning is. It’s a unit of measure that doesn’t mean “100 centimeters” in this context. |

It is a smaller diameter watch that fits most of what you want and won't hurt when he breaks it or losses it. ETA I would suggest looking at ladies watches in black or blue. |

Casio Forester.
- Different colors available. - Band is nylon/velcro so it should fit his wrist. - 100 meter water resistant. - When it dies or is broken, buy another ($19 to $29). Casio Forester |

I suggest a silicon band for whatever you get. Kids are hell on leather.

While I'm not 12 years old, I really like my Timex expedition.. I don't think it is waterproof to 100M though. My thought was if I ever find myself under 100 M of water, how well my watch works will be the least of my problems.

My Vote
the screw down making it water tight is a bonus https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FCQHSRL?tag=arfcom00-20 |

Quote HistoryQuoted: My Vote the screw down making it water tight is a bonus https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FCQHSRL?tag=arfcom00-20 www.amazon.com/dp/B07FCQHSRL I agree with the Invicta pro diver. It was my first watch my dad gave me since I was wanting his Submariner. I really enjoyed the rotating bezel. It comes in a bunch of different color combos. This one is slightly more expensive then the above linked one, but I thought the colors looked good and wanted to throw it in as well https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09TWVX22Q?tag=arfcom00-20 |

Can't go wrong with a Casio G-Shock, Ironman, or maybe even a Freestyle Shark Watch. The Timex Expedition is a good choice too.

Seiko 5 Sports.
It's an automatic but BFD, he'll love looking at the internals thru the clear backside. |

How does he feel about Godzilla? My one son has something like this. They are around $100 on ebay. Just look for Godzilla Watch.

 Get a Seiko 5 and put it on a NATO or on a $8 rubber waffle strap from cheapestnato like this.  The SNK381 is around $100 and is a classic. Smaller case so it won't look ridiculous on a kid. An automatic will teach some responsibility to a kid. Having to set it, wear it consistently. The lume, moving hand and clear case back showing all the intricate guts ticking away will be way more interesting than a generic quartz Timex expedition or G-Shock or whatever. Regulating it can be a fun intro to mechanical tinkering that you both would enjoy, all you need to do it is a $6 Amazon case back tool, a toothpick and time. He can wear it for the next two years or the next twenty. |

Thanks for the suggestions. I just bought this in the EE a few minutes ago. I’m going to try not to keep it for myself.
