Find a Slap Watch: Fad Meets Fashion Watches

Find a slap watch online: a combination of fashion watches, and a late 80's, early 90's fad, fun for tweens and teens, fashionable designs for adults, slap watches are a fun way to dress up your wardrobe.

The funky slap bracelet style of the late 80's infiltrated the middle school classroom at the height of my public school teaching career. Available in a variety of interesting colors, the flat, stiff bracelet could be slapped against the wrist, instantly giving way and conforming to the shape of the wearer's wrist.

Today, slap bracelets are available as party favors, and through online retailers such as Amazon. Meanwhile, some creative watch designers have incorporated that form fitting wristband into stylish watches!

One of the most stylish versions of the slap watch is TKO Orlogi Slappers. These colorful slap band watches have fun designs, and beautiful color combinations. In fact, some of the TKO Slappers have an interchangeable style, with several bands for the main watch face. It's a little more bold than the Swatch of the early 1980's, but just as new, and different now, as the Swatch was then. Find TKO Slappers in your favorite colors, or gather a wardrobe of slap watches.

Cloud 9 Slap Watches are bold, a little bit brash even!  They are available in either analog or digital styles, and just as the silicone enclosed alloy bands are reminescent of the 80's slap bracelets, the colors are reminescent of the bold neon color craze also popular during that decade.  If you were a teen or young adult in the early 80's, you were used to neon yellows, oranges, blues, and greens...these and a few other colors are included as part of the Cloud 9 Slap Watch line.

Silly Bandz company is back, with its own affordable slap watch style.  Available in several basic colors, these are perfect for the tween or teen, and maybe even for the teacher of tweens and teens.  Many of the Silly Slapz are eligible for Amazon Mom, with purchase contributing toward earning additional months of Amazon Prime shipping.

Interesting colors, a traditional watch face, and rhinestone style trim to the face, are the main characteristics of the Silicone Slap Watch by Geneva.  Inexpensive, these are fun, and funky.

Many of the slap watch styles featured above are perfect for the tween age group, more for girls, than for boys, but a couple of the brands do indeed feature basic black, which is workable for a tween boy.  Just as slap bracelets were very popular with my middle school students in the late 80's, these watches are well suited to the tween perspective.  The age group is fun and energetic, though from a parental and teaching point of view, they present some challenges.  Quirky and fun fashion trends are picked up quickly in this age group.  Slap watches can fit perfectly into the tween Christmas stocking, as a fun stocking stuffer.  As a back to school fashion accessory, perfect for a little fun!  Of course, if you are having a little reminescent fun, recalling your own trek through the 80's, your tween may find it a little silly.
