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

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!

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.

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!

Received my new blue-banded Weekender today, and I'm really happy so far with this watch - it has so many features that I have been searching for for so long, and only one that detracts. I really like the noise that other reviewers comment about, it's one of my favorite aspects of any watch or clock. It's really not that loud, to me, I have to hold it up to within a few inches of my ear to hear it. (I'm 38 with no hearing problems :) ) I really like the size of the numerals, and the slant of the watch face all around the edge, making the tick-marks much easier to pick out individually. And the length of the hands, including the second hand, are all the way I would choose if I were custom-designing the watch for myself. The contrast of the hands, including the red second hand, all go nicely against the somewhat "egg-antiqued" coloring of the face, and overall this watch is very easy to read quickly. The only drawback, and keeping me from giving it 5 stars, is the second line of numbers on the inside for military time - as if those of us who actually use military time aren't capable of adding 12 to each number for P.M. times. Or maybe mathematics really has gotten that bad in this country, but I digress... Also, the second hand does not always line up with each tick mark - many of them do, and many of them do not. Since I'm kind of fanatical about such things, I wish they would, and it bugs me, but for $30 I guess I'm willing to put up with it - I did buy the watch, after all. Also, the band is quite comfortable on my wrist, fits perfectly (I have small wrists), and the watch itself isn't Flav-o-Flav proportions and looks right on my arm. This watch is very much heavier than my other wristwatches, but for some reason it doesn't bother me at all - it just feels 'sturdy' I suppose. Oh, and the Indiglo works nicely and is very readable at night. (Or in the bathroom with the lights out where I just tested it.) Finally, I have my hopes up that this Timex keeps good time - better time than some of my other Timex's; if it doesn't it is the last one I'll ever buy. I have a Timex Expedition analog that gained 3 seconds since yesterday, and minutes per week, another Timex expedition analog that gained 1 second since yesterday (I'm ok with that - it's the first one that keeps horrible time), and my latest Timex Expedition DIGITAL Unisex T49660 that keeps the worst time of any watch I've ever owned - it gained 5 seconds since yesterday, and is off by several minutes every week. This watch is brand-new! But this Weekender has so many features, and several good reviews, that I'm willing to give one final chance. It looks really sweet, and I like it a lot so far, so I'm hoping for the best. Will edit this review in future if it doesn't work.

Goldilocks of watches. I have very small wrists so 38mm cases are my limit and it's hard to find a nice watch in that size range. The Weekender is perfect for me but maybe not everyone. It is loud and even noticeably louder than my easy reader and expedition which have the same movement. This isn't an issue because I love hearing the ticking. The thinner profile and comfortable strap make this a very laid back wearing watch. I bought another on clearance.

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! the simplicity of this watch. My exact last one lasted 4 years but I seriously never took it off: sleeping (indigo), shower, swimming seas, ocean and lakes. It’s traveled to 35 states and 5 countries. All for $40+ bucks. I change watch bands so easily. I just returned two that I tried to upgrade with but this basic is just great.

Outstanding proct. I really like it. Just as good as $1000 watches.

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.

Ich bin absolut begeistert von dieser Timex. Das klassisch, moderne und klar leserliche Ziffernblatt macht das Ablesen der Zeit mühelos, und die Indiglo Hintergrundbeleuchtung ist einfach fantastisch. Sie funktioniert einwandfrei und erleichtert das Ablesen im Dunkeln erheblich. Das Tragegefühl ist ebenfalls beeindruckend. Das Armband ist angenehm und reibt nicht, was besonders wichtig ist, wenn man die Uhr den ganzen Tag trägt. Die Uhr passt gut an dünnere Handgelenke und sieht dabei immer noch stilvoll aus. Ein kleines Manko ist jedoch, dass das Armband leicht Flusen von Pullovern aufnimmt, aber das ist eher ein kleines Ärgernis. Ein weiterer Punkt, den man beachten sollte, ist das leicht hörbare Ticken. Es ist etwas lauter, aber persönlich habe ich mich daran gewöhnt, und es stört mich überhaupt nicht, auch nicht beim Schlafen. Alles in allem ist dies eine herausragende Uhr zu einem unschlagbaren Preis. Die Kombination aus klarer Ablesbarkeit, guter Beleuchtung, Tragekomfort und einem erschwinglichen Preis macht diese Uhr zu einem klaren Gewinner. Ich kann sie uneingeschränkt empfehlen!

es muy feo

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.

Is was a gift for my son and he love it... Good quality and apportable... Thanks seller
