A Military Overstock distribution warehouse has announced it is clearing a large surplus of Ironside TAC-2 Digital Field Watches — and rather than letting them sit in storage, they’re giving them away free to the public while supplies last.

The watches were originally part of a bulk procurement contract for military field personnel. Due to a fulfillment overstock, thousands of units remain in inventory with no scheduled deployment. Rather than absorb the ongoing storage costs, the warehouse has opted to offer them directly to civilians at no cost — only asking that recipients cover the $9.95 shipping and handling fee.

“We’d rather put these in the hands of people who’ll use them than pay to store pallets of watches indefinitely. It’s a straightforward clearance.” — Military Overstock Supply Division

The Ironside TAC-2 is a rugged digital field watch built for demanding conditions. It features a high-contrast LCD display, 50-meter water resistance, stopwatch, alarm, and LED backlight — all housed in a shock-resistant case designed for field operations.

Word has spread quickly since the announcement. The warehouse reports that over 2,300 units have already been claimed in the past few days, with remaining stock diminishing rapidly. Once the current inventory is gone, the offer ends — no restocks have been planned.

For anyone interested, the process is simple: visit the official claim page, select your preferred color variant, and check out. There is no purchase required — the watch itself is free. The only charge is a flat $9.95 shipping fee per watch to cover handling and delivery.

The warehouse has not announced an end date for this offer, but with the rate units are moving, it’s likely a matter of days before the remaining stock is gone.
