the weekender line is a great watch for casual wear. I bought this to replace a previous one that didn't hold a seal in the water. This time I'm saving my receipt just in case.
I have three timex watches now. I am very pleased I found a place to get watches that do not irritate my skin. I have a severe nickel allergy, but I am able to wear these watches with no problem all day long.. thank you Timex
Bought this same watch five years ago and loved it so that I bought the same exact watch, same color! I’m still wearing the first watch for everyday wear. My new watch is for when I’m not painting, gardening......all dirty/messy work.
This past weekend I was up in the BWCA in northern Minnesota. Four days or paddling and hiking carrying all you own. Before we left my three friends realized they want a watch so we went to WalMart. They all laughed at the price of my watch, when they could buy “identical” ones for $8.00. Day one of the trip one of theirs had broken. Day two the other two watch’s broke. Not only did mine hold up to the cold water it was submerged in it also stayed fresh through the abuse of me slamming it into things. The watch has a great look and an even better build. The strap dries quickly once wet
I like this style of watch with hands and it also has interchangeable bands. The watch is just like the three little bears not too big not too small just right.
Like most here, I love the classic aesthetic. Not over-designed, casual but clean, minimal. It's hard to find a good-looking 38mm when most of the other watches on the market are the size of a tuna can. It's loud, but that can be kind of charming. The strap started showing loose threads right away, but whatever, I decided to look for a new band. But then, a few months in, the crystal shattered after an impact that really shouldn't have done that kind of damage. My girlfriend, who saw it happen, just said, "wait, what??"; my watch guy just kind of laughed when I asked about getting it fixed. This is (was) my literal weekend watch and I can't in good faith endorse a casual watch that can't be worn casually. Conclusion: too cheap to repair, too expensive to replace as often as could be required. Seems like I have to move either up or down the line.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I am a big watch person, but I do not like to travel with expensive time pieces. I bought the Timex to take on trips, and it is great. It’s fashionable, comfortable, and very practical. I highly recommend it!
I love how stylish this watch is, and I love that I can switch the band. I rarely see analog watches with backlighting, and this is my favorite part of the watch. Unfortunately, the strap started to fray only days after wearing it.
