I believe it was safe driving.

I have one and not for safe driving.

At what years of service did UPS give out watches. I'm thinking:

25 years (one diamond)
35 years (3 diamonds).

Did they give out a 20 year watch also?

I vaguely remember they stopped the years of service catalog around 2007 ish?

Cheap Bulova for 5 years safe driving

Was it safe driving? Youre probably right, I said years of service, but then everyone would have one.

It was 5 years. That's why I have 3 and a pile of wallets.
I never made it to 6 years safe driving. I always ran over a mailbox or something.

This is (was) the 5 YOS watch back in the day.
A friend with a jeweler on his route had it appraised. It was $200 thirty years ago.

Please. Where is this appraiser? Probably worth my drive with 3 in mint condition and never worn.lol

You're right.
Real men can only wear these.

We used to get a wallet every odd year plus something else after the first year. I had so many wallets in a drawer.

Wonder how many @rod Got

I never requested a UPS watch for any reward. Had a few friends who got them and for the most part they fell apart after about 6 months. To tell the truth I never wore any watch during my career. I found I operated more smoothly and with less stress without one. There were plenty of clocks and such at the businesses I delivered to and when I was delivering my rural routes I didn't care what time it was.

I got one at 5 years and never again.

Same here. I've never wore a watch.

I still have some of those somewhere. They were actually a pretty decent wallet.

Yes they still have the circle of honor

A couple of drivers in the building here, have been waiting over a year for their Circle of Honor. Must be strictly a district by district decision.

We usually have some kind of food, then a driver gives a little speech, receives his jacket then he gets to go home for the day.
