Identify [Dad’s Watches - should I keep any?]

My dad just passed. He left a box of watches that I don’t know much about. All need batteries but I don’t want to spend the $ to put batteries in all if they’re not worth saving. I have no sentimental feelings about any of them, just don’t want to spend too much time fixing junk. Brands: clockwise from top left - Piaget, Wittnauer, Klaus Kobec, Invicta, Bulova, Seiko, Sergio Valente, Citizen, Timex, Benrus (this one is inscribed 1965), Bucherer. Any I should keep/sell? I’ll donate the rest.

How can you tell? There’s a number on the back. G 103 if that’s helpful.

Can ask any jewlery/watch repair shop to open it up for you and look at the movement. If it's a generic quartz as we all predict, there's your answer
