COIN - #24 - Timex on Your Side

Enlarge

You love climbing, don’t you? You love to get outside and forget about everything and anything that society pins on you each and every day. Sure, it’s a reality that we have to work and be (somewhat) responsible if we want to chase the things we love. But, sometimes we might get so wrapped up in “life” that we might even forget, really, just what living is. Consider Timex your little ribbon around the wrist reminding you to get outside and always make time for your passions.

This summer, Timex connects with the Conservation Alliance and Conrad Anker to inspire all of us to pay visit with Mother Nature. Their campaign, www.ReturnToTheOutdoors.com, is place where you can go to watch short films of such outdoor icons as Steph Davis, Yvon Chouinard, and Conrad Anker; get tips before heading out into the backcountry; read up on inspiring blogs; learn about The Conservation Alliance; share your own story, and enter to win some big prizes! It’s a place that’s as wild as the web and as free as you’ll get without heading for the mountains. Of course, Timex isn’t on a mission to keep you sedentary – they simply want to spark your desire to explore. And, if you’re going to do that, well then, they also want you to be well equipped.

Timex is giving away 7 Timex Expedition E-Tide Temp Compasswatches to our readers. While we can talk about the outdoors all day, let’s just take a moment to observe the fact that these are some serious, serious timepieces. The watches incorporate an analog technology that delivers movements and features for outdoor enthusiasts that previously have only been capable in digital watches. It all comes down to some crazy, hugely scientific stuff developed at their Pforzheim, Germany design center (no joke, we read the press kit, and this is far too complex for us to touch). What we can tell you is that the watch is a stunner, and provides on-demand key info such as: countdown to high and low tide; compass readings with an adjustable declination scale, for increased accuracy regardless of where you are on the map; and the temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit. It’s also water resistant to 100 meters deep and features the INDIGLO® night-light.

Like we said earlier, there are 7 of these bad boys waiting to find adventurous homes. And if you want one - and can handle the responsibility of getting out and putting it to work - now’s a good time to head over ReturnToTheOutdoors.com, sit back, relax, watch a vid or two and find the answer to the following question:
“What did a 16 year-old Conrad Anker and his friends eat out of their helmets during their first hike in the Tetons?”

Give us the answer for your chance to win a Timex Expedition E-Tide Temp Compass watch.
