How often have you needed to check the time but can’t get to your phone because your hands are too busy carrying [insert any number of items here like: children, soccer equipment, groceries, wet bathing suits, diaper bags, etc.]. While we’ve come to rely on our phones for almost everything, it’s time to remember the value and convenience of the tried and true watch – especially for moms.

Got kids? This watch is for you

When we first discovered Lyke watches the value in them for moms was apparent. First of all, they’re only $59. And for that price you can pick three different colors that each component of the watch will come in so that they can be mixed and matched in just a few seconds. Choose colors that represent your children’s sports teams or schools. Or, just pick some favorite hues and let the kids come up with a combination to wear that day. They’ll be so proud to know mom is wearing something they created.

Don’t forget that a watch is an accessory

Besides being oh-so-helpful, a watch can serve as an accessory which, we always say, are items that can easily and inexpensively take an outfit from drab to fab. Lyke watches have a more sporty look so they’re perfect for everyday activities. They can even work with an business casual office ensemble.

Enough already! How can I win one?

UPDATE 10/26/14: After having worn this watch for a while, we have discovered that the watch face doesn’t stay in place unless it is being worn. For the most part this is fine but just beware that it can easily fall out when you are not wearing it. Also, the latch on one of the buckles broke. We aren’t sure if this is just a fluke but fortunately, the company has this information on their site so it looks like they will replace it:
