Hoping to get a nice watch as gift. All kid sized watches seem to be junk or have cartoons on them. Hoping for analog face, nice band (probably leather) and not to spend over $75 but could go to $150
Any help appreciated

Tough to beat a gShock Mini GMN-50 for a small analog kids watch
9 YO? Lange for sure
Casio MQ24 with a seperate leather strap

I would think of any gshock babyg. More or less affordable, solid.

Freestyle shark, they have kids sizes and patterns… and they can’t break them. My kids love them
My 8 year old just bought himself a Casio MQ24-7B2. Super thin, simple dial and perfect size, plus it was only about 17 bucks.
A classic g-shock or a seiko on a nato if you think he’s responsible
I got my 8 year old a g shock ga2100. It’s a great size for him.
I’m jealous, will be buying one for me soon too
I don’t see any thst fits a small wrist. Link?
There are a couple of lorusor alba field watches that are small and decent.
Also the new casio mdv10 is small and looks decent.
The invicta vintage (line) 37071 is small and classy.
The Shanghai 8120 is a small mechanical (handwind only) watch and very affordable (you can find it on aliexpress).
Escapement time king seiko homage in 35mm is another option.
Take a look at the Casio Baby G BGA 240-1A. It’s digital and analog. The Baby G shocks are considerably smaller than the regular G shocks.
In terms of brands in your price point and with smaller size options:
Timex
Casio
Swiss Military - Their ladies models will work for a boy, they are beautiful and contemporary design, not feminine.
I would probably say a perfect starter watch then would be an entry level Seiko 5, such as the SNK375. This particular model has some cool red accent color and is smaller at 36mm, so it would probably fit and wear well enough. However there are so many Seiko 5 models to choose from. You can find an abundant amount of them on Amazon for under $150. The only thing to note is that many come by default on a metal bracelet. With a quick YouTube search, however you can fairly easily change the bracelet for a basic >$20 leather strap. Just make the sure to find out what the lug width of the watch is and buy a strap with the same size (ex. Lug width is 18mm, but an 18mm wide strap)
Check out Blok Watch. My son also loves his Shark watch, which seem to be back in style and rather trendy among kids again.
Came here to say this about Blok Watches. They are nice, not quite G-shock level tough but seem more solid than a Flik Flak.
I just bought one for kid’s upcoming ninth birthday. They’re great for teaching kids how to tell time bc they make the hour hand less ambiguous. Also they had a new set of models with lume on them and she loooooooves the lume on my watches so she’s going to be stoked.
