·Time to get a couple junker pocketwatch movements he can play around with so he knows what's good to take apart now and what has to wait until after he's gone to watch making school 😉

·Over the years, I have given our son a Rolex Air-King Date which I promptly re-possessed after he wrecked it. When he was younger, I gave him junkers I’d repaired, all of which he promptly wrecked. Over the last ten years or so, I have given him a Tudor gold shell automatic, a Seiko mechanical diver, a generic Seiko quartz which kept leaking, and a Bulova mechanical diver (60s vintage). He has liberated the odd mechanical watch out of my huge stash, but I never see those on his wrist. But most often when we see him, he’s wearing a Timex of some sort that he has bought, himself. So I’d say he’s not interested in watches. When I kick the bucket, he has told me he will be donating my marine chronometers to our local maritime museum! I get the feeling he will liquidate my collection of 120 + watches, and buy a car! If I ever receive advance notice that my days are numbered, I liquidate the whole collection, and by a gold urn to keep my ashes in.

·My son is in love with his first watch, a Star Wars digital. He makes sure that I put it on him every morning, and has even started requesting wrist shots.

·My teenager gives heavy sighs and eye rolls when I mention anything about watches and feels that watches are essentially pointless and “nobody” wears them anymore because everyone has a phone. 
I never bother to point out the 75 or so collectible Funko pops she has....😒
So I’m thinking no, not a watch person.

·My daughter is 17. She looks at my watches and her eyes gleam a bit, but when I ask if she'd like a watch she says no, she loses things too much.

·My daughter knows how to use the stop watch to time an event and she likes how lume (especially Seiko lume ) is glowing in the dark (she is turning 4 y.o. this October).

·I have three sons and a daughter. None of my sons really have an interest, my youngest son has a Casio G Shock and he's the only one that owns a watch. My daughter on the other hand does wear her Mickey Mouse Timex, so I have not yet given up all hope.

·I'm totally taking my son to the Timex outlet nearby this weekend to let him pick out a new watch. We couldn't find his Star Wars watch this morning, and he was a little sad.

·My 7 year old daughter absolutely loves choosing my watch for me and she also stops at every jewellers window to look at the watches. I've got my eye on a birth year for her so I'm hoping the interest continues!

·My 20 year old son is very interested in watches, since he was in 1st grade and would wear a 45mm Coleman digital multifunction quartz on his tiny little wrist, then a timex, and then a Casio. His current collection includes a Series 1 Apple Watch PVD Black, a radio controlled Casio Pro-Trek, a Luminox diver and a Luminox dressy looking watch, a birth year Omega SMP Bond quartz diver, and a 2 year old Omega X-33 Skywalker.

·My son still call my watch a clock. 🙄
He might be interested in them. He’s only 2 though

·One son at 26, only if it has 4 wheels and can accept turbo’s and new exhaust.
One son at 30, if it cost more than $5 he isn’t interested being a cheapskate, learned it from me I guess.

·Only my youngest of 3 has shown interest, but I did buy my oldest a TinTin as a college graduation gift.
