    Mumbai: Timex, the American watch brand, launched the latest iteration of their ‘Waste More Time’ campaign featuring brand Ambassador, Ananya Panday. The global campaign encourages people to forget the hustle and bustle and reconnect with themselves by spending more time doing what they love most, even if others view it as a total waste of time. The third digital film of the campaign reinforces that a Timex does more than just tell time; it tells your story and reminds you to make time for yours.

The ad then takes a turn, showing the unique take of wasting time to do things that bring joy with Ananya balancing books on her head while breaking into a groovy dance!

    Ananya balances work and play by indulging in the concept of Waste More Time with Timex!  This campaign represents a delightful departure from the ordinary, encouraging individuals to pursue their passions without fear of judgement and to embrace the analog life fully by slowing down and living in the moment.

    Timex India managing director Deepak Chhabra shared his views about the latest campaign, “The success of the ‘Waste More Time’ campaign —which celebrates the idea of investing time in yourself and realising that is indeed time well spent — is evident through the love our consumers have been showering on Timex. The iconic brand, now in its 170th year, continues to regale consumers with its timeless designs and its belief in the importance of doing more of what brings you joy.”

    Actor and brand ambassador Ananya Panday shares her experience, “I’m really excited about this third campaign collaboration with Timex. This is not just a campaign, it’s a way of life and I see myself more aligned to life’s little joys, no holds barred. Here’s to those who live life on their own terms — let Timex be a reminder to Waste More Time.”  

    The launch of Timex’s third Waste More Time film is a significant milestone for the brand. The brand consistently explores new boundaries in innovation and style, appealing to everyone who values fashion. The film is now available to view on Timex’s official website and social media channels.

Timex keeps the time so you can forget while doing just anything that’s worth wasting more time over.

    Ananya Panday, commenting on her latest association with Timex, said “I had so much fun shooting for the ‘Waste More Time’ campaign, a message so unique and so striking. I could connect to it immediately. In a world that often demands us to be busy all the time, Timex reminds us that doing what makes us truly happy is never a waste. I am thrilled to be associated with Timex.”

    Timex India managing director Deepak Chhabra shared his pleasure announcing the campaign, “We are excited to have Ananya Panday as the face of the campaign. Her personality and the appeal she has among audiences of all ages is commendable. It was a sheer joy to work with her on the campaign and we couldn’t have found a better partner who is quirky yet calm in her own unique way and resonates with the brand. Together with Ananya and the Waste More Time campaign, we hope to strike a chord with our consumers who appreciate honesty in brands and to reinforce the fashion and lifestyle imagery of the brand.”

    Let Timex on your wrist be a reminder to embrace the balance to the hustle, bring calm to the chaos and find peace within by seeking unrushed fulfilment. So go ahead and stay up a little later, watch the next episode, take the scenic route, and forget about that annoying reminder; because Timex believes that when you are genuinely enjoying what you are doing, it is not wasting time—it is living.
