ReWound & Sustainability

Q. What is TIMEX ReWound?

ReWound is a take back and resale program allowing customers to send back any used watch. Watches with more life to live will be sold on Timex ReWound. For the watches received that have already lived their best days and do not qualify for resale, we will upcycle the parts and materials for new products, including watches.

Q. How does TIMEX ReWound work?

TIMEX ReWound offers customers the opportunity to send their used watches back to TIMEX ReWound at no cost. Simply print out a free shipping label and send us your used watches using your mailbox, postal carrier, local post office or any postal drop box nationwide. In addition, you can also call USPS for a free pickup right from your doorstep.

After we receive your watch, we expertly clean and restore it. Then it is placed on this website to find a new home. If we are unable to restore the watch, we will ground it down and use it as material for a new watch or other product. Get started now.

Q. How sustainable is this program?

Zero items from the watches you send back will end up in landfill. Any items that do not make it to resale will be disassembled and entered into their proper recycling stream to be imagined into new items.

Q. How are watches recycled?

The watches are disassembled into each material and the specific materials will enter their proper recycling stream.

Q. How much does it cost to send watches back?

There is no cost to send your used items back. All you have to do is provide the box, pack up your used watches, download and print the shipping label, add it to the box, and drop it off at your mailbox, postal carrier, local post office or any postal drop box. Shipping is on us.

Q. Can I send more than one watch in one box?

Q. What happens when I give you my old watches?

What's the condition of the watch being resold?

We ensure we’re providing an accurate depiction of the condition of returned watches. The condition of the watch being resold is categorized into two ratings: Good and Excellent. Watches rated as "Good" show visible signs of wear, potential issues with indiglo or day/date functions, and the water-resistant feature is not guaranteed. In contrast, "Excellent" watches have minimal to no visible wear, fully functional features, and may possibly be water-resistant up to 30m.

What can I expect regarding the battery life and functionality of the watches being resold?

For every watch we sell with a quartz movement, it comes with a new and fully functional battery. For those with mechanical movements, we have thoroughly tested them to ensure they are operational. Specifically, we wind and verify that they maintain accurate time over a 12-hour period. We inspect and repair all watches to the best of our ability, but we do not offer long-term guarantees regarding timekeeping accuracy, battery life, or water resistance rating.

Discount

Q. What is the discount/incentive once I ship my watch in?  

You receive a coupon for 20% off your next purchase on Timex.com once we have confirmed your used watches have shipped out to us.

Q. Where can I use my discount?

You can use your discount on Timex.com. Please note, exclusions apply.

Q. I sent back a used item and haven't received my discount coupon.
