Who is Ben 10 and what has he got to do with watches? Ben 10 is an animated children’s television program about Ben Tennyson who is just a normal kid until he finds some alien technology. He attaches this technology to his wrist and realises he can transform into a variety of alien monsters. Ben 10 watches are a slight misnomer as it is actually called an Omnitrix.
Ben 10 watches have proved extremely popular amongst young boys who want to pretend they are saving the universe from some unimaginable horror.
Ben 10 follows in a long line of ethically responsible children’s television shows. When discovering the power of the Omnitrix, Ben realises that he has a responsibility to help other people, with shades of Spiderman’s ‘with great power comes great responsibility’, but of course with less adult themes. Also in a nod to Spider-man, Ben’s little friend is named Gwen.
Ben himself is an otherwise normal little boy who gets into trouble and still, although one of the most powerful beings on earth, acquiesces to his Grandfather when it’s time to be a normal, good, 10 year old.
So popular was the television series, of which they made 4 along with 2 made for TV movies, that it was franchised to be a video game and two further spin-offs, Ben 10 Alien Force and Ben 10 Ultimate Alien which carries on until this day.
Numerous toys and models from the show have been produced, including costumes, Lego, jigsaw puzzles, cars, comic books and action figures
Of course, the Omnitrix is the most popular toy connected with Ben 10. Ben 10 watches are the perfect gift for a little boy who wants to save the Universe.
