For the canna-curious mom… 420WALDOS WATCHES

As you know, at Rural Mom, we are total hemp (cannabis) advocates who regularly celebrate the amazing properties of this fabulous plant! Which is why we adore 420Waldos Watches!

The new 420Waldos brand watches are tied to the cannabis movement, something much bigger than a watch brand itself. These days, many find relief with medicinal cannabis or extracts like CBD, and this watch brand was conceived and created support those needing this relief. With every watch sold, 420Waldos Watches will donate a percentage of the sales proceeds to organizations working to legalize cannabis at the federal level.

Each watch offers a way to “join the club” and wear the symbol of the movement, while helping to push for legalization. It’s also a beautiful gift for Mother’s Day. The watches are well designed with high quality materials. Super attractive and fun to wear! Additional bands can be purchased to give the wearer flexibility in matching their watch band to their outfit or mood.

We’re proud to own and wear a 420Waldos Watch and hope that you will join us for Mother’s Day and beyond in supporting this much-needed movement to change perceptions and support the use of medicinal cannabis (and cannabis derivatives like CBD).
