I received this as a gift from the ex for Christmas 2011:



Now, apparently it is poor form to wear gifts from an ex so I would like to get rid of it and buy something else.

I know that it is a Timex, and has been worn literally 10 times so is virtually as new. Can anyone on here tell me roughly how much I would expect to get for it, and where I should advertise it?

I realise it is not particularly expensive or interesting, but it does seem a shame for a nice enough watch to sit around in my drawer doing nothing. I have a much nicer watch that I wear daily so I am not too fussed about it.

Cheers smile

Can't find that exact model (although I didn't search that hard) but nothing from Timex I can find is more than about £60. So probably not worth more than £30 or so used.

I didn't know there was some big issue with wearing presents from an ex. If you like it, wear it.

not a bad looking watch, keep it and see it as another to the collection. something like that would make a fairly nice holiday watch

I suppose it is quite nice, I just prefer wearing this most of the time:



Hence why it gets used very little anyway. Don't think it has been worn since February!

You'll not get much for the Timex, but it's a nice enough looking watch.

I'd keep it a spare / beater if I were you.
