Of all the fads that come and go involving the youth of the country, it is hard to keep up with the way the fashion tide changes. Just when you think you are getting your child something that is in fashion, they come home and tell you that they are "so last week". Now, what you ought to do is try to find the trends that stick around for awhile, and a good example of this would be the Slap Watch.

If you have a kid in school right now, than you have likely already heard about this accessory. If you don't, or want to know a little bit more, you can consult the upcoming paragraphs to get a little bit of insight into what makes these popular and what your options actually are.

A Slap Watch might sound a little aggressive, but this is really just a name for the mode in which you attach the watch to your wrist. You take the band and slap it down on your wrist and the ends of the band coil around. It is simple, quick, and above all else painless. So while the name might suggest a bit of violence, this is certainly not the case, as it is intended for use by children of all ages.

Really, if you have been following trends for some time, the nineties and even parts of the early 2000s saw the slap bracelet reach prominence. This is essentially the same thing. However, this has the watch attached to the center of this bracelet. You will find that there are many different materials that the watches are made out of, which gives the wearer several different purchase options here.

The bands are among the many things that separate the various watches from one another. You will find that among the most popular of these would be solid colors, which would include the band and frame of the watch all the same color. The face of the watch would be black or white, depending on how it color coordinated with the watch itself.

There are plenty of other designs, though, if your child cannot seem to settle on one particular color set. You will find a number of animal print designs and other patterns. If you are looking online for these bracelets, you should be able to find just about anything you might be looking for, as there are a plethora of styles, patterns and designs to choose from.

But if you were willing to allow them to get more than one, you would be delighted to know that these are very inexpensive. If you have been intrigued about the Slap Watch, or have heard about it incessantly from your little one, hopefully you have a better idea about it from reading this piece.
