Timex Weekender 38 mm Watch

I love it, love the size of the face, love the light for the face, it’s comfortable to wear, looks good, I like the self winding mechanism, it’s all good, a great purchase that I use every day.I know I have a click on my phone, this I use because it’s quick and easy plus it’s reliable. I know the phone is reliable but I like this watch and yes it’s quicker.

This is a great 38mm dial watch with a comfortable strap. Yes, the ticking is pronounced in a library, empty room, funeral parlour etc, but the watch is also very legible, has the superb Indiglo feature and is very comfortable on wrist. It is an ideal watch for any chap or chapess who needs a simple, stylishly elegant watch that is discreet and goes with any casual outfit. The Timex Weekender is a great watch at a a very decent price and I would definitely recommend it.

I love this watch so much. For the low price, you can instantly feel the difference in quality compared to other affordable watches. It’s kept perfect time so far. The face has a traditional look, with the off-white lending it a slightly vintage look. I’m also glad it isn’t huge, as I have quite slim wrists and some watches just look far too big on me.It’s easy to read, and the Indiglo light works perfectly in the dark - it’s also easy to operate, with a light push of the button. The canvas strap makes it a great everyday watch, but you could easily switch it out for a smarter strap and dress it up a bit for more formal outfits.

Hard to really write a review given that it was a present for my mum's birthday some time ago, but I'll try and summarise her thoughts on it here.It's easy to read and has a nice comfortable strap, though both her and I agreed said strap feels kinda cheap and flimsy. The build quality is rather nice though it eschews stainless steel for a cheaper chrome plated brass construction alongside a mineral glass crystal. I suppose at this price point that could be the best you'll get. I'm a bit disappointed at the 30 metre water resistance rating for the price (I paid about £50) but that doesn't matter to her. It's up to you whether that matters or not.The Indiglo backlight is honestly the best part of this thing in my opinion. It evenly lights up the entire watch face (save for the outer bezel where the second markers are) and my mum loves it.The only major criticism we both have is that it's loud. The ticking is so loud that mum can hear it across her bedroom at night and she has to put it in a drawer. It seems that's just how it is with the Weekenders.Overall? Yeah, I think it's great and mum does too. They're great presents. Sure, the chrome plated brass will wear away faster than stainless steel (or even resin, I suppose) but it looks good and I think for £50 it's worth it.

Brought this as an inexpensive daily wear watch and It’s great, easy to set the time and have not noticed it losing time at any point.You can change the strap if needed the watch face is nice enough that with the right strap it could be more formal.Then IBut glo function activated by pressing a button is great really clear to read even in absolute darkness.

I have bought the watch less than a month ago and the small strings in the wrist strap are already coming out. Bear in mind I haven't even worn the watch for an extended period of time and this is happing. The small fibers of the string dig into your wrist and make it impossible to wear without any discomfort. This is extremely disappointing as Timex is such a respected brand and I did not expect this what so ever. This was my first time purchasing a Timex piece and may well be the last.

I used to collect Japanese domestic model / iconic seikos such as Sarbs/ monsters etc so used to good quality. Unfortunately had to sell them but recently started reminiscing about my watch hobby. Didn't want to spend big and put off with cheap / tacky budget / 'designer' watches. Also wanted to have something still respected or at least recognisable to knowledgeable watch fans. After researching I felt that a timex weekender was the way to go. Don't want an auto so being quartz (and easily replaceable battery due to low water resistance) it was a great choice. I'm surprised at how classy it looks for the money. The dark brown leather nato seems to suit it perfectly to give a dress/ field watch appeal. Being on a nato it's very easy to change if you fancy transforming the watch. As it is I'd say its smart / casual and perfectly fine for all occasions including when worn with a shirt. The leather nato is thin so probably not very durable but incredibly comfortable. The watch is fairly light so this really is a comfortable watch. I have medium wrists and the 38mm face wears great. Almost in defiance to the modern trend of silly oversized watches that look more like hand clocks! This reminds me of classier watches from classier times. It would definitely be classed as unisex and also suit teenagers/ those with slim wrists. I think I'm at the limit so those with above average/ larger than 7 inch would probably need something slightly wider. The second hand does have a noticeable tick but I find that quite reassuring and welcome as was used to automatics. It's not too load and one could just put in a drawer or close the lid of their watch box if they sleep next to it. It would be too loud for me wear to bed but even though this watch is comfy I'd never wear a watch to bed anyway! Came in a card box/ instructions are downloadable (not sure why you'd need any). Another major (and quite unique) bonus is the superb bright light function. It really is a work of art and makes me baffled why more expensive brands can't manage it! Anyways I will always be a Seiko connoisseur but I have been converted to the Timex fanbase too. It's a timex so should be reliable especially compared to nasty designer watches with basic Chinese movements and a higher price. Comes with warranty and is cheap enough not to worry about. The second markers don't quite hit every second marker but close enough and again who cares at this price point. It seems very accurate as expected. And I have had far more expensive tissot quartz's with eta movements that didn't hit the second markers. So overall buy and enjoy without breaking the bank. Best bang for buck out there 👏
