Reviews
I wanted a self-winding watch.
"I wanted a self-winding watch. Checked out the Timex site. Loved this one. Bought in February. Then month after month I got notice that production would be pushed out another month. Very frustrating. The worst was in June, when I got a different email that sounded like all was on track to get my new watch. Only to be disappointed a month later when the rug was pulled: one more month. Anyway, I finally got the watch. I love it. I did not like my six months of will it, wont it happen."
