For the money...
You’re not going to get a mechanical watch at this price point, so let’s not have delusions of grandeur about this watch’s prestige. However, it comes with the Timex name, which is still respectable even if it isn’t what it once was. The crystal is clear, with little reflection. The face is colored as pictured. The big second hand (chrono) does not align properly with the hash marks. In this case I was able to overlook it, since I rarely use the feature. It’s worth noting that the chrono can do split time and 1/20th seconds. You will need to look up how to use the feature online, because the manual isn’t super helpful. The buttons are quite stiff. The Indiglo looks great (blue/green), and is very helpful at night. I initially thought the case would be too thick. There are definitely thinner movements out there that include chrono and date window functions. That said, I was surprised when I put it on. Most of the time no one will be looking at your watch from the side. The NATO band is thin enough that it doesn’t add a lot to the overall height. It looks good, and although it’s my cheapest watch, I’ve been wearing it all week. On the subject of NATO bands, this watch looks tremendously good with a dark red and navy band. Dark leather would be even better than the tan for matching to belts. Pick up a couple options with the savings on this watch’s price. You won’t be disappointed. I just got mine, so no word on reliability, but Timex does give a short warranty, and I believe you can mail a tiny fee to extend it for 5 years. I’m not sure how long the band will last, but the NATO design gives you a fall back if the band breaks, and they are so cheap, it won’t hurt when it eventually happens. The band is flexible enough to pass it through the rings in any fashion your wrist size permits. I have a pretty average wrist, ~7 inches, and I don’t need to do any special loops or folds, just straight through. If you’re looking for a casual watch, especially something to wear with blue, go for this. Of the Weekender variations, this is probably the most distinctive.

Beautiful, but Not Without Some Minor Quirks
At first sight, this watch captured my attention for various reasons. In my opinion, it's effortlessly cool and stylish. While the description says it's "unisex," I believe that it was purposely constructed on a larger scale to accommodate the majority of a male's larger features. With that said, it has a larger watch face, longer strap, etc. I didn't mind this one bit. In fact, I actually preferred it! So when it arrived in my mailbox, I don't think I was half-way up my driveway before I was tearing into the box to try it on. And it did NOT disappoint...It was every bit as beautiful as I thought it would be!Once I got in, I didn't even bother to set the watch or read the directions because I was so eager to see what it would look like on and, in my opinion, this larger timepiece looked spectacular atop my smaller wrist...loved it!! My husband even remarked how much he liked it and asked to try it on! Once I sat down to get acquaninted with my new watch, it reminded me of sitting down to dinner with a blind date. Here, I had been reading shining reviews and seeing all these great pics about this watch, but now that I was sitting down and getting to know more about the watch, I began to see some of its flaws...For starters, the band is thin, as other reviewers have mentioned. While that's not a deal-breaker for me, the overall quality of the strap (which boasts that it's genuine leather, made in India and, side note to my side note: Timex conveniently added a tag in with the watch saying that the strap would and SHOULD show wear) felt a bit flimsy and dare I say, cheap? I wasn't planning using this for my daily watch anyway, so I will remember to give the strap some TLC.I have rather small wrists for a gal, so adjusting the strap so that the watch would be fitted posed a few problems...for starters, the strap does not have an adjustable "loop?" on the band to tuck the extra slack from the strap into. It has a metal loop that is sewn into the band and remains stationary. This results in a pretty sizeable strap overhang from the absence of this non-adjustable feature. At first, this didn't bother me but then when I ran a quick errand, I noticed that the overhang started getting caught on my purse and seatbelt, among other things. Annoying, but still manageable.Another quirk about this watch is the latch/buckle that secures it to your wrist. I didn't notice it when I first put the watch on and initially adjusted it, but over time, the corner of the buckle began to dig in to my wrist. If you prefer a looser fit, I don't think you would experience this. Personally, I prefer a more fitted fit but I did manage to remedy this by loosening the band by one notch. This was a perfect solution b/c the watch's face and "supports?" (the metal pieces attached to the timepiece that then attaches to the strap) are so large, that the size of my wrist prevented it from shifting from the center of my wrist. Didn't spin, either!Timex included paperwork on the water resistance restriction, battery care and warranty in 10 different languages but NOTHING about how to set the chronograph features. They did, however, include a website which provides model-specific manuals to help set their watches. Little bit of extra work, but saves paper consumption in the long run and won't get lost over time, so kudos to Timex!All in all, it's a beautiful watch. And while there are some quirks that I felt they were worth mentioning, I can work around them if it means keeping this chic piece!

Beautiful Budget time piece
Timex does it again with this one, I have a $300 movado that gets outshine by this watch. The saying goes it takes a licking and keeps on ticking. The look is very classy and crisp, dials and hands are to a premium quality, you can hold this up to thousand dollar watches and it can sit amongst them. Or at least my opinion it can, huge bang for your buck at the cost of $30-$50 feels robust and practical I my self will buy a few more for a personal collection, until my financial status in life allows me to put Audemars and other expensive time pieces in my collection. 9/10 only on the fact that the Lether band although beautifully colored in the tan is slightly to thin for my taste, but quality feel nonetheless.

I really like the look of this
I really like the look of this watch. It appears to be a much more expensive watch than it actually costs. The brown blue and chrome look fantastic together. Although dial is almost black in most light, more of a midnight blue at least. Keeps time perfectly.
