I don’t have specific watch advice but:
It sounds like what she wants is attention from you, and perhaps to spend some special time together. 
I say this because I have three small children and a similar predicament. The older ones see me frequently on my phone on IG looking at watches, and have taken an apparent interest. I got the older one a children quartz watch which he wears all of the time and which has become a point of common interest, discussion, and shared experiences. He will sometimes look at watches on IG with me and tell me which ones to Like now, and I will make a concerted effort to not be on my phone as much when I am around my children.
World timer wish from my daughter - any ideas or advice?
This morning when I opened IG my soon to be ten year old daughter saw a picture of a world timer and thought that this could be a great present for her upcoming birthday (like father like daughter I suppose 😂). Now a 5110P might not quite be what I had in...
The modern one would generally fit the bill but is large at 43mm
How much smaller is the vintage?
Haha…watch with globe dial for a kid….
The one that came to my mind is this: Kinda microbrand but a GPHG winner…lightweight (less than 100g in steel with rubber strap) that should be wrist friendly for a 10YO. However time reading is not conventional but not difficult… ...
This one is definitely on the shortlist…
But it looks like 47mm 😱 Very cool idea definitely 👍🏻
I saw this piece win at GPHG!
Here is the event coverage! www.watchprosite.com I still remember when the representative of the company accepted the award, she gave a great speech in English, Chinese, and some French. Chinese watches will one day thank this watch for paving the...
Worth considering!
I didn't really get to try on the watch in person. So I can't say if I fully recommend it. But it was definitely a huge surprise that it won! And after seeing the watch and reading the specs, I have to admit, it did win deservedly. It wasn't the watch I w...
Citizen?
This should be plenty for a 10 year old, don't you think? Best, E. Ps: ref BJ9121-57A 40mm dial ...
How about the Ebel Voyager?
Anyone with experience? That one was done in cases down to 36mm I believe 🤷🏻♂️
Very tough!
The MB Orbis Terrarium is a little thick and not quite elegant enough for a young lady. I think you're going to have to stick with a Patek 5110!
That is probably more reasonable…
I think the better version is that I follow the company motto, get one for myself and take good care of it for her for later 😂😂😂
I think some of those will first need to be tried on for size…
Thanks for the suggestion, though 👍🏻

Wise words…
Over the last year and a half I have both drastically reduced my online watch activities, as well as almost stopped it in the presence of children. Your point there is very valid and apt. They have both expressed an interest in a watch or two at times (an...
What a nice idea dear friend KM... and a great choice made your young daughter!! I love WT but guess it is not easy to find a watch with this complication in a small case size...
... (except the earlier versions of Patek which are delicious but prices make them out of reach of course). I think the best option is the Ebel Votager WT which has a 38 mm case but regrettably is out of production so you should look in the vintage or pre...
Thanks Abel!
It certainly is an interesting piece and a nice memento of the not too distant horological past - let me see if I find a decent example for her 😊👍🏻
