We got this for my son with some money he was given, on his request. He is now just four but we have had it a little while. It has been dropped and chucked about so many times but has not broken yet. He absolutely loves it. At first he only played with it normal mode, chosing which alien he is turning into and giving it a thwack. That was closely followed by rushing around in a very excited manner shouting at me which alien name I had to call him now!
We played the battle mode together at first. As someone else has said, this mode relies on the child reading what alien he needs to change into. So I would tell him what to change into and then he would do it. But actually he has now got the hang of it - I think he actually has played it so many times he recognises the written name of each alien! That's one way to learn to read!
The watch is very easy to put on and the strap is very sturdy. My son needed a bit of help putting it on to begin with because the watch itself is so heavy, but he can do it himself now.
It is a great toy and I would definitely recommend it.
