Timex Weekender 38mm Unisex Analog Watch | INDIGLO Backlight | Adjustable Durable Nylon Fabric Slip Through Strap | 24 Hour Time

I bought this as a gift two years ago. It is a simple, yet a high quality and reliable watch. Perfect for both casual and more formal occasions. It isn’t too big, and it is very comfortable. It’s also very easy to read and has illumination. After two years the time is very accurate. I recommend this watch.

I love it. I’m a fairly petite woman with small wrists and I love how classic looking it is, as well as the size - it looks almost oversized and “too” masculine for me, but it’s not. It’s big enough to be flattering on my small wrist but not so big that it overpowers it. The colors are great (neutral!) and best of all, it doesn’t buzz every time I get a message or a call. I have an Apple Watch and now long to be just a little more disconnected. The price was definitely right too. 10/10.

This Timex was delivered recently (8/28/2023) and I’m already here to share some thoughts: After stumbling upon an article online about this Weekender watch, it was Love At First Sight: Unpretentious. Classic. Iconic. Unobtrusive. Non-Fussy. Versatile. Also, it fits my extraordinarily skinny wrists (6 inch/15.4 centimeters circumference) with even a few holes to spare. The 38mm case diameter is the perfect size to showcase on them bony wrists. (If you have “normal” to “meatier” wrists, I’d go for a larger diameter, say, maybe a 40mm+. This 38mm may look too “small” on your wrist, otherwise.) The NATO band is quite comfortable, especially since I like to wear my watches pretty snug. Who else LOVES their watches traveling up and down their arms?? Not I, said the Richie. The color of green is accurate: military fatigue or avocado. Plenty of other bands to switch out for variety, which I’ll probably do down the road. Very comfortable right out of the box, too. The face is an off-white or cream-color, which gives it added aesthetic. Also, like me, if you find that you have too much band length that goes past the clasps, you can either: 1) double it back over and re-insert into the clasp; or, 2) snip off the excess and use either a lighter or—even better—apply a heat gun to the ends, to help prevent it from fraying. Chef’s choice. This is definitely a casual to business casual watch. With the choice of band colors and materials to choose from, it really is quite versatile. Another trick I learned: if you don’t intend to wear it for awhile, pull out the crown (the little dial on the side) to preserve battery life. I don't plan on wearing it in the shower or swimming, doing dishes, nothing. Not taking any chances. Oh yeah...Loud Ticking? Non-Issue, here. I don’t even notice it. I hope this helps with your buying decision. Cons Pros -It doesn’t send you text messages -It doesn’t give you your heart rate -It doesn’t sync with your apps or smartphone -No choice of wallpaper. -IT TELLS TIME. THAT’S IT. And does it simply, cleanly, and beautifully. (and that Indiglo tho' !)

I would argue that this would be a nice, inexpensive watch to get for your first "dress-up" function--like a concert, let's say--and you're not gonna be around people who are seriously expecting you to wear expensive hardware. There's something wrong with those people anyway. I have found a couple faults (which I'll get into in a bit), but if you can live with those, this is a watch that just looks good with a suit. I bought this watch mostly for the face, which is just classic, tasteful design, and the fact that you can change out the strap fairly easily (it's interchangeable for a standard 20mm NATO strap). It has sort of a railroad watch look to it, very utilitarian and purposeful. It came in at just under $30 for me, hopefully a little less for you. If you do a search for "Timex Weekender" you'll see there are lots of other color variants in the watch body to play with as well; one has a gray face with white numerals, one is white with black numerals, some have red second-hands, some have blue ones. Some are polished chrome, others are buffed chrome, and one or two are an anthracite color. The one you're looking at here is polished chrome with a black face, white numerals, chrome hour and minute hands, and a red second-hand. All of the ones I've seen so far come with Indiglo, Timex's patented electroluminescent backlighting system that's been around since I was a kid. It lights up the whole face, leaving the numerals and hands in negative relief so you can read 'em in the dark. My biggest complaint so far--and it's a pretty minor thing--is the chrome minute and hour hands. They do catch the light sometimes, but more often than not they seem to "disappear" against the black watch face, and I find myself having to move my wrist around to tell the time. (UPDATE 2/14/16: see attached pic.) I suppose I could nudge the crown and activate the Indiglo if it was a big deal, but I have other watches that don't seem to have this problem. I have a feeling the variants of this watch that have black hands are more legible. I can see why they did the chrome hands, because the case is shiny and chrome-plated as well. But I'm not gonna lie, if the hands were white, it would make the watch look a good bit more expensive. Just sayin'. The other drawback is basically a Timex thing. This watch ticks very loudly. I've said this in a review of my other Timex watch: "You can hear it inside a moving vehicle with the radio on. If you wear this as a daily watch, you'll get used to it. It's the people around you (significant other, co-workers) who won't. Do not leave this watch on when you go to bed. Just... trust me." What I mean by that is, if there is any decent amount of ambient noise, that should drown it out, but if you're in a somewhat quiet place, you (and anyone else within whispering distance) WILL hear it. The strap that comes with this watch is sort of a rough-textured ballistic nylon, which looks fairly tough and should wear well, but it's a little scratchy against the wrist at first. After about a month of wear it is fraying a bit at the end, but I think that looks good. It's also a little bit long, so if you have small wrists there may be a bit hanging off the end. That's ok... the "NATO look" prescribes that you wear the remainder of your strap tucked into the metal clasps. I have big enough wrists that this isn't a problem. Again, if you get tired of it or need to change out for a different color, there's a whole world of NATO straps available to play with. So, here's the deal: this is a genuine timepiece which isn't pretending to be anything else. You could drop thirty bucks on something cheap and blingy that's trying to ape a more expensive watch with complications that don't even work. But if you want something with a timeless, classic, functional design, something that will go REALLY well with that new black suit you "had to buy for that thing", this watch should be in your cart.

Zegarek jest ładny, co zresztą widać na zdjęciach. Tarcza ma kolor beżowy, ale nie wydaje się w rzeczywistości aż tak bardzo bezowa jak na zdjęciach poglądowych. Zdjęcia użytkowników przedstawiają ją jednak jako zbyt biała (zapewne wina automatycznego balansu bieli). Bardzo ładny font, świetnie wyglądający wyniesiony pierścień indeksów minutowych. Rewelacyjne podświetlenie tarczy. Koperta elegancka, wykończona na połysk. Pasek lepszy niż się spodziewałem, przyjemny w dotyku, miękki, z dziurkami nawet na najmniejsze nadgarstki. Ale było by zbyt pięknie, gdyby wszytko było tak ładnie. Zegarek jest po prostu głośny. Bardzo wyraźnie słychać tykanie nawet nie przykładając ręki do ucha. Przypomina to tykanie taniego zegara ściennego. Wielka szkoda. Mimo tej wady w tej cenie ciężko znaleźć coś lepszego (a warto poczekać na przecenę, bo kupiłem za 140zl)

El reloj es muy bonito, para muñecas no muy grandes. Pero lo mejor es que ni se ha retrasado ni adelantado después de un mes de uso. Tengo relojes de más importe y se suelen adelantar o atrasar unos 4 minutos en un mes, este va clavado. Esperando que vuelva a estar en oferta para comprar otro para regalar. Recomendado 100%

チクタクと良い音がしてます。時計の音が好きな人には非常によろしいです。後はとにかく文字盤が見やすい！

I got this watch with a black strap and ordered 3 extra nylon straps along with it (blue, green and brown). This watch is so versatile that this goes well with almost every outfit, especially with the extra belts. You can use it with casual outfits, with sporty outfits, with classy outfits and also with suits. Pretty satisfied.

very minimalist---looks great
