The classic slap bracelets of the ’80s are back with a useful upgrade.

UK-based SnapWatch LTD is bringing its flexible LED watches to the U.S. market with an assortment of styles for kids ages 5-12. SnapWatches quickly snap around kids’ wrists in one swift motion with no buckles. Each shockproof, spillproof timepiece contains flexible, integrated components so that the whole band can bend and roll. The onboard LED displays come in red and white and are readable in the daytime and can light up for nighttime use at the push of a button. SnapWatches display 12- or 24-hour time and the date and year.
