For sure! They are awesome. That's why I have several including the one I had as a kid in the 70s (it still runs fine too).

The old ads are true ("takes a licking..."). Those old Timex watches really are tough as nails. For example, the balance staff, instead of a thin, easily broken thing like in typical mechanicals, is 10x thicker with cone ends that ride in inverse cone dishes. You're not gonna break that, I don't care what you do. That design is inherently shock proof without needing to add any tiny, expensive shock protection parts (diashock, incaboc, etc).
