It is funny and a little scary to watch students figure out how how to use the watches. They are so use to looking at their cell phones that using a mechanical watch just blows their mind! In any event, for those with old watches, Timex started a new program: Rewound (see https://rewound.timex.com/ for details).
Send Timex your old watches and you can get a coupon with which to buy a new watch. The watches you send in do not have to be Timex watches. Through Timex's Rewound program, old watches will get a new life while parts unused will get recycled. For those longing for a classic watch, check out the restored watches that Timex now sells: https://rewound.timex.com/collections/shop-all
Best wishes to all for a nice and fun weekend!
