Timex Unisex Weekender 38mm Watch

Wear outdoors then swap out the band for a night out
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.

Perfect Watch!
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’ !)

Just what you need. Nice, good, affordable.
