From about five feet away the watch looks quite good, the detailing on the front is well moulded and it generally looks quite real and solid, indeed from five feet the watch looks as it does in the photograph above; don't be fooled this is the best it will ever look.
When you get close enough to actually touch it and pick it up, the cheap slightly shiny grey plastic creaks in your hand, belying the flimsy construction.
The front of the watch is opened with a difficult to reach, loose fitting plastic stud on the top of the adjustment dial, which itself is moulded into the main body and does nothing, revealing the face of the watch, which conspires to be shadowy and difficult to read. The door itself is thin and the hinge worryingly flimsy to the extent that it feels as if the force of the spring could break it off on opening.
By far the worst thing about this watch however it the "light and sound effects", which feature a few red and yellow flashing LEDs, and a minute or so long clip from the second episode of 'Human Nature' with the young lad saying something along the lines of "..Some times I remember having two hearts and being a Time Lord, not only that but the last of the Time Lords..." and so on. Not only is this a fantastically annoying sound for the watch to make, but it is the sort of thing which seriously hampers the creation of a childhood fantasy world when your toys start whittering on at you; I know this I remember it happening.
In short AVOID! Wait for someone to bring a better, metal version out.

This was purchased as an extra for my son's Christmas stocking; and it has been a find wirth buying.
Along with series 3 on DVD, the fob watch has completed his "wardrobe" as we now are fully fledged for acting out "Family of Blood" and "Last of the Time Lords".
The only downside, is the quality of the sound that comes from the watch is poor to say the least, but it doesn't affect the fun factor for my son and his friends when playing.
For all those parents with kids that dream of being an exile of Gallifrey, this is well worth buying.

I bought a Time Lord watch :)
... Still not a Time Lord. Even when I put the batteries in. :(
... okay, so, yes, a toy. For ages 5 and up. I'm, er, up.
It is plastic. Except for the chain. The chain makes the plastic look cheap. But does function to keep the watch where it is put, so that part works out. The case has patterns just like on the show, and seems fairly accurate. Same with the watch face. So that's nice. But the light effect is pathetic - I've got a better light on my keychain, and it doesn't light the center of the watch at all. And the sound effect happens whenever you make the light, so it isn't much use if you, for instance, want to know the time in the cinema. Plus it sounds like the Doctor only if the Doctor is talking through a comb after inhaling helium. Actually come to think his voice doesn't change when inhaling helium, so it's just out of character. Er, I mean, it sounds mostly like hsssh shhh crsshh and you can only tell what he's saying because we have it memorised from TV. Bit disappointing really.
On the plus side - Time Lord watch! Wheeee!
It, er, gets all its stars from that bit.

Pocket watches are cool
As a watch it's not perfectly practical. The sound effect button is irritating, and there's no backlight. Read more

fun
If you are a Doctor Who fan this fob watch is great fun. It is very plasticky but has lasted well so far and is amusing. Not a collectors piece though!

Well, it's a toy but as such quite fun!
I can understand why some people are disappointed because they expect a real fob watch. Well, it is not. It is a toy and as such quite fun. But nothing more! Read more

Dr. Who's fob watch
Bought this as an 11th birthday present for a girl. She is very happy with it. Excellent, amusing prop at school but not recommended for children who tend to use toys as weapons!
