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

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'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.

There was a problem with this watch — but spoiler alert — I was the problem, not the watch. I bought two Weekenders, and both kept losing 5–10 minutes every couple of weeks. I was frustrated because they’re such attractive, simple watches with a perfectly sized 38 mm bezel. Eventually, I gave up and tried a cheaper knock-off. When the same thing happened with the knock-off, I realized it had to be user error. After a little troubleshooting, I figured it out: I wasn’t tightening the strap enough. When the watch slid around to the side of my wrist, the crown would get nudged and partially disengage, stopping and restarting the movement — which caused the time loss. The fix was simple: wear the strap a bit tighter so the watch doesn’t swivel. If you're having the same issue, try snugging it up. These really are marvelous watches. I was relieved to discover it was user error, and I’ve had no problems since. As a bonus, the slightly snugger fit actually makes the watch easier to read anyway.

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.

I consider this a good value product, so I give it 5 stars. I've owned it for 3 days and so far so good. With over 360 review on the watch, I'll just comment on what some other reviewers have said. The loud ticking: At a foot away, I can hear it, with moderate noise in the room; at two feet, only in a quiet room and beyond that, not at all. This is subjective, so your mileage might vary, The stem/crown: This is the little knob used to set the time. Some reviewers have had problems with it coming off the watch, a serous problem. It is a bit stiff out of the box, so some care is needed when pulling it out. I would guess that with time, it will become easier, mechanical interfaces are like that. Indiglo: Push the crown in, and the face lights up, for when you are in the dark, let go, it goes off. Some reviewers have said it doesn't go off, or that a wrist movement can activate it and leave it on. I can't make it do these things, but if you can, it's a warranty return, as it shouldn't happen. The Band: Good - Comfortable, easy to replace, good looking for outdoor or casual wear, additional bands available for 9.60 ea., in a variety of colors and patterns. The posts that the band goes over and under are the traditional spring loaded type, meaning you can replace the supplied band with a traditional band, leather or metal expansion types. The Band: Bad - You're going to wear out the holes, where the prong goes through. With daily use, I would expect to get at least two years before needing to replace. I can't can't say if that is the case, but nylon is a durable fabric. Unisex: The watch is more than .25 inches thick, and is not small, by which I mean on a petite women, the watch could extend over her wrists, with the potential for snagging. Appearance: The body of the watch is plated brass, and the plating is shinier than in the photo. It looks like a chrome. This is not a matte finish. I like it, but YMMV. If you don't care to spend 32.00 USD on a watch, a good option might be a Casio. Consider: Casio Men's MQ24-7B Analog Black Resin Strap Watch Available from Amazon. Never owned one, but looks it like a great value, and is just as suitable for women as the Timex I just reviewed. At 9.00 USD, a real bargain.

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.

Wonderful watch! Nice size and comfortable strap. Good quality and value for cost. Excited to start wearing this regularly. I purchased several other NATO straps that I’m looking forward to trying out with this watch

Nice looking watch but extremely noisy movement

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

What can I say this watch is classic Timex at its best , wears great easy to read the time and you can pretty much use any type of strap out there so much choice with a 20mm strap width great everyday beater for a bargain price everyone should own one of these in their watch collection.

Super !!!

無音の時計もいいけれど、この時計は秒針の音がかすかに聞こえるので時の流れを感じます。またリューズを押すとほのかにバックライトが光るので暗闇でも時計を読むことができます。高級感はまったくない玩具のようにも見えるけれど、時刻を知るためだけというシンプルさがお気に入り。簡単にいろいろなバンドに交換できるのも楽しい。
