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

I wanted a basic analogue watch. Loved how easy this is to read. Very basic, high contrast simple dial and numbers. So light you don't even know you have it on. Very durable. what a steal at this price!

(2-3 years ownership/2 color versions of this watch) You can spend much more money for much less timekeeping accuracy than this watch provides. Timekeeping: I lose about 15-20 sec to the NIST time clock each six month time change interval when I reset the time. Not bad at all. Setting: You can stop the second hand sweep at 12 high by simply pulling the crown to the set position which greatly aids locking in on the universal time clock to the second. It restarts when the crown is snapped back down. Looks and Durability: The polished case and flat crystal look almost new after two years of frequent wear. Size and Legibility: About perfect for a field watch - bigger than a dress face and smaller than a divers chrono. Fairly low profile and snug to the wrist. Can read with or without my glasses. I don't often use the backlight, but it lights very well. Price: Really reasonable with one caveat - you'll probably tire of the flimsy but stylish nylon web band after a short time and spend about $25 more for a nice leather band. The total investment is still a good value over many other watches. Overall, this watch goes anywhere with anything and keeps very accurate time. You'll probably ignore your other watches because you'll use it everyday, not just on weekends. It's A TIMEX!

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.ConsPros-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 chose the Timex Weekender 38mm for its classic field watch look, and there are things I really like about it, but a few drawbacks as well.First, the ticking noise is pretty loud. It’s noticeable enough that I sometimes take it off if I’m in a quiet room, which is disappointing for a daily watch. The watch also lacks a date feature, which would have been really useful.The metal case looks okay—good for the price but doesn’t feel as high quality as I hoped. On the plus side, the light feature is great, and the 38mm case size fits perfectly, not too big or too small for a field watch. The strap looks fantastic, but it’s not as comfortable as I expected.Overall, a decent watch for the look, but I had to return it due to loud ticking noise.
