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

I've had this watch for more than 5 years now and I have nothing but good things to say about it. I got it as a weekend/outdoors counterpart to my Timex Easy Readers that I wore to the office for more than a decade (one for brown belts, one for black belts). During Covid and WFH, it's even more literally my daily wearer. My Weekender has for years stood up to everything I've thrown at it, worked perfectly, and gotten me several compliments. It's easy to read and has a subtle elegance. At 38mm--not too big, but not small either--the size is perfect to serve you in the outdoors and also augment a subtle style or aesthetic on a night out. I don't like to swim, much less dive. So all I look for in a watch, in terms of WR, is whether it can survive me getting caught in a summer shower, get dishwater splashed on it, or, worst case scenario, a quick splash in the pool or ocean. I haven't swam in this watch, but I've certainly done the first 2 on those list with it. The case held up just fine, no fogging or worse, and wearing a fabric strap means it won't get funky--and you can just throw it in the wash anyway. Despite not swimming in it, I do "sport" in this watch otherwise--jogging, mountain biking, softball, etc. In all those situations, the watch was fine. No signs of slowing down, no cracks or scratches. The indiglo backlight flickers, but I have hardly used that since I was a teenager anyway. The quartz movement means you'll never have to set the watch like a manual needs daily, and like an automatic or solar may require. I've never replaced the battery on my Weekender or had to reset the time because it was off. After a day of sporting, you can toss the sweaty strap in the laundry and pick out a new one based on your outfit, all in a couple seconds. My Weekender was my introduction to NATO and other single-pass fabric straps, and they're now my go-to daily watch set-up. I've never replaced the battery and haven't noticed any lost or gained time. I should mention that I don't really adhere to the mentality that you need to measure how accurate a watch is over a year or more to judge its merits. This watch doesn't have a date window, which would mean several more resets per year, but between traveling between time zones and DST, I have to reset the Weekender several times a year anyway. I wouldn't wear this watch with a dressy outfit, but for everything up to that point, it looks appropriate. I don't like flashy watches or to walk into a room and have my timepiece be the first thing people notice, so this is perfect for me. You should never pick out a watch based on what you think watch snobs will think/say, but if you're worried about it looking 'cheap,' I've only gotten compliments about the Weekender. Like many affordable product lines, there is a surprising fandom out there for this watch. At this price point, I don't think anyone would regret buying it, and its versatility means it may become that go-to watch for when none of the rest make sense. And if it's your only watch--good choice.

This is a great basic watch (telling time) I love that this is a simple, reliable watch that is holding up well, being worn every day.

I will start this review by saying that I have not worn a watch in about 12 years. I usually just check my phone for the time. I bought this watch because I was attending an Expo for work, and had customers going. I did not want to be rude and have my phone out constantly to check the time, so I figured a watch would be better. I had the watch overnighted to ensure that I had it in time to adjust to wearing it before the expo. and after wearing it a few hours, I already forgot that I even had one on. it is very comfortable to wear. I do have the issue of being in between holes on the watch band when wearing it, so it is slightly too loose. below is a breakdown of what I like and don't like about this watch. LIKE: I do like the look of the watch. The olive green strap is comfortable, and goes with most of the outfits I wear. The watch face is very appealing too, and there is a backlight for viewing the watch at night. It isn't too heavy of a watch either. As I stated above, I forgot that I even had the watch on! DON"T: so there are a few things that I don't like about the watch. The first thing is how loud the ticking is. When you are wearing it, you really don't notice it, but at night, when the watch is across the room even, you can hear it clearly. It isn't loud enough to keep me awake, but it is audible. This watch also keeps time very well! I synced it up with my phone best I could, and am within less than a second! I do have a gripe about the seconds hand though. *see DON"T*** Second thing I don't like, is that the nylon band started to fray in less than a week. I contacted Timex to see if they would send a replacement, and they said no, but I could buy a replacement for $12-16. So they were useless. I ended up just burning the edge that was fraying, and heating a paperclip to seal the inside of the holes on the band that were. It seems to be holding up fine that way. Last thing I don't like, is the seconds hand. The seconds hand is spot on, for the first 30 seconds. Once it has to go up the watch face when looking at it, the hand looks to be behind by half a second. It isn't really off, and doesn't seem to affect the accuracy. I think that this is just due to the weight of the hand having to go up rather than down... The things that I don't like are very minute. I have no regrets about buying this watch! It is a very nice watch for the price! I am currently considering buying a leather band for it as well to mix things up. Hope that this review was helpful!

I purchased this watch in 2012, for only $27! Even today the price hasn't creeped up too bad. I'm letting it go now only because the glass cracked last year, probably due to impact somewhere. The watch is really good, and I loved the sporty casualness with the ability to swap out bands. It's lightweight and I love the indiglo feature. Wish all watches had it. The battery lasts forever. The one thing I dislike about it is the loudness. It ticks loud. The loudest among all my other watches. In fact I had to purchase a watch box to store this thing so that the ticking noise gets muffled. In a quiet bedroom or when your hand is near your ears, the ticking can bother you. But I still wouldn't have let it go only for this reason, and I have more expensive watches than this. Also if you have a large wrist, this can look small on you so keep that in mind. But it's a great watch. I wouldn't have kept it for 14 years otherwise.

Had my Weekender for a quick minute now, and so far, so good. I've had none of the issues others have had with it getting damaged by invasive moisture. The band that comes with is slightly frayed around my most-used size slot, but that's it - and I frequently take mine off if I need to do something grubby with both hands, so that's a factor. Light is dim but perfectly readable in low or no light. The face reads easily, as well. The most contentious issue: the volume of its mechanism. Since so many people seem to have a beef with or questions about this, I decided to be as specific as possible: at 9'8" (~3m), I can hear this watch ticking on my dresser if I've got nothing making noise (no music, no fan, etc.). I would not say it disturbs me at all and I do not notice it going about my day. It's a handsome, simple little watch and I'm glad I bought it.

This is a very nice every day watch at a reasonable price. The dial is clean and the time is shown in 12 and 24 hour modes. It certainly resembles a field watch especially with the NATO strap which comes in different colors. I chose the blue and red strap. The indigo works well in illuminating the dial. The watch also fits nicely on my skinny wrist!

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' !)

Great fit. Love the look

Sport y estilos. Era para regalo, ha encantado

Esse relógio é feito para olhar a hora, é isso que vc deve esperar e é isso que ele vai te entregar. Obviamente. Comprei esse relógio pois precisava de uma pulseira de Nylon devido a alergias com outros tipos de pulseiras de plástico e metal, e pq elas viviam quebrando. Logo, esse relógio caiu como uma luva, não só a pulseira era de nylon, como era facilmente trocável. A luz noturna dele é excelente, não é uma granada de luz na madrugada que ilumina todo o quarto (tipo Casio), e te deixa ver nitidamente os ponteiros e marcações. Além de ser um relógio super estiloso e discreto. Pontos negativos, pq nada nesse mundo é perfeito. Ele tem um tic-tac que pode incomodar algumas pessoas mais sensiveis a sons, não é o meu caso, até acho gostosinho, mas é o caso da minha namorada que se incomoda demais com ele a noite. A cada 2 semanas mais ou menos eu tenho que ajustar o horário pq ele atrasa levemente, coisa de 1 ou 2 minutos, mas me incomoda. E como eu tenho pulso superfino sobra muita pulseira, e tenho q dobrar ela no final, mas isso é pq meu pulso é um graveto. Em conclusão, um relógio absolutamente fenomenal, uso diariamente, e a Timex se tornou minha fabricante de relógios favorita. Tanto pelo preço acessível de modelos como esse, como a qualidade que ele entregou. Super recomendo, tanto convenci 1 amigo que gostou do relógio a comprar. 9.5/10 - Meu próximo relógio vai ser Timex

普段は革ベルトやブレスレットの時計をしていましたがカジュアルなものが欲しいと思い購入。活躍しています。 ・長所 ベルトが布なので汚れなども手洗い、洗濯機で綺麗にできます。半年以上使ってますが縮みはないです。 時刻を合わせるリューズを押すと光るので暗くても時刻の確認ができます。 カジュアルな見た目ですが、シックな印象を与えるようなので遊びのきいたジャケットにも合います。 男性の腕でも標準的な大きさなので女性でも違和感はないと思います。 バンドの付け替えが容易なので気分で変えられます。 ・短所 他の方が仰ってるように秒針の音は大きいです。うるさいので枕元には置けません。 これも他の方が仰ってることですが重量感は結構あります。

Indiglo feature is superb and helpful in dark. Good quality. The watch hands shown in the product images are white but in real they are silver but it looks nice, matches the outer case. Straps are also good. Some reviews say that they got extra straps but I did not. 38 mm field watches are not easy to find at this price.

es muy feo
