The Timex weekender is what got me into watches, but not in a good way. After 4 years of wearing it I woke up one night, tired of the loudness of the tick, and I started googling ways to silence it. There wasn't much to do, but I found out about the chrono version that didn't have that loud tick so I immediately purchased it. That one got me really hooked on and the rest is history.

Back in the 80's the Timex was what kids wanted. When the Indiglo came aout I wanted one bad, but being a student I could not afford it. So I bought an imitation offered by other cheap brands. I remember they had orange glow, yellow glow. I believe Timex had the blue glow copyrighted. I just ordered my first true Timex Indiglo this weekend. It's a used Timex Expedition. Can't wait!

I bought this version (based on this review) and the wild thing is; a strap will almost change the entire vibe. On leather, it looks sporty, on a Nato, it looks like a field watch. I just bought a nice silver mesh bracelet and it looks dressy! Very versatile (and a fairly large battery inside.)

The white Weekender 38mm was my first in my current watch obsession/journey. Your reasons in favor of this watch are SPOT ON! I love mine as it my ‘chameleon’’ watch, as you correctly state, it’s very versatile. 20mm lugs are a brilliant decision from Timex. I just change the band and it goes with everything I wear. Mine has a subtle blue second hand which is cool. Sadly, it is also my clunker and has kept me from picking up other in the line for fear of the loud ticking sound as you correctly pointed out. Another great, honest review, sir.

What kind of strap should I use if I'm going to wear it in a school uniform? Here is what I think I will choose: Black leather strap for school uniform and black canvas strap for casual outfit.

Do yourself a favor and buy the cheapest Weekender you can get. They often sell the ones with less desirable straps cheaper. The reason is because Timex's straps suck and you'll want to replace the strap right away with something better. I noticed Timex nato straps are not like a normal nato's the dimensions are off or something.

I know that anecdotal evidence is not that meaningful, but I see Timex being always so praised and I don't have a similar experience. I bought a Timex for myself some years ago, it was around this same price point (around 50 euros). It wasn't very accurate; I sent it to customer service and when it came back it still wasn't accurate (though I did send it back through the shop where I purchased it, so maybe they didn't even bother..? I don't know). Then the date complication stopped working, then the Indiglo function in the crown got stuck and not working, then it just stopped working altogether. I brought it to a (different) watch repairer who told me that it wasn't even worth repairing for how much the repairs would cost compared to the value of the watch. Oh, also by the end the leather strap was COMPLETELY destroyed. And I didn't treat it poorly, I just, well, wore it while I was studying at the university, and in fact the (acrylic) crystal only had a very, very faint scratch. Even considering all the time before it finally died, it lasted less than two years. Maybe the small women's watches come with different mechanisms? In any case, I'm definitely not buying Timex again. I've had a Festina for something like ten years and treated it MUCH worse (keeping it in water though it is meant as a fashion watch, sometimes forgetting to take it off before sleep, using it rather than my newer Timex one on hikes...) and it took something like ten years before needing any repair, for a damage which by the way was probably caused by water leakage (not the watch's fault: the rubber ring inside - I'm not American and I don't know the name - got ruined when a watch repairer changed the battery), so it's completely understandable.

Timex has so many models you can always find something, but the backside of that is you can also easily make a mistake, they throw in models that look nice but aren't practical / legible. What absolutely bugs me is the date adjustment, ( I do own many Timex ) and the crown positions are very sensitive it happens a lot that instead of adjusting the date you stop the watch, and spend 5 minutes to find the correct position to adjust the date. btw. my favorite Timex is a 36mm 90% plastic "Expedition" with 50 meter WR even the lume on the hands is lasting for hours.. ( model nr. T40011 ) I think it is some chip of the block of a Timex Military prototype.. 4 screws metal caseback , easy to polish plastic window, indiglo, only runs a few seconds fast in a month, the battery is still running after 4 years. ( funny thing they totally forgot to put a model nr. on the watch )

I really like the Expedition scout, got one for my brother awhile back, and almost got one for myself a few times. I don't think I've ever kept around a Timex with a date on it, I had the Fairfield and the Metropolitan for a bit, but those are both no date models like the weekender.

Great review! I love timex. I wouldn't call them a great value though. It still feels like a cheap watch. It pains me to say this, but a great value is something along the lines of an Invicta pro diver. Sure, it has no classic aura, and has many haters, but for $50 more, its twice the watch. I love timex, but I would never call it a great value...to me, it feels like a $50 watch.

I had been eyeing getting a field style watch for a few years so I recently ordered a Timex Easy Reader when I saw it was on sale at a department store here in Canada. Before it arrived I did some research and kind of regretted it...chrome-plated brass case, "leather-plated" strap, malaysian movement I think with that tick - not a big deal, probably could get used to it but still. Shopped around a bit more a found a really nice watch from a Canadian company (Momentum Flatline Micro Lume) on sale. Yeah I paid almost $100 more but I get a stainless steel case, sapphire glass, Swiss parts, a fully (Italian) leather strap and 100m water resistance. Yeah it costs more but at least I know I have a quality piece that probably has some resale value if I want to go that route. The Timex looked great and I love the Indiglo but to me the only thing that saves it from being some cheap Chinese watch is the rich history. Take away that history and it's nothing special. The Timex will be going back. Edit: Actually I made a mistake on the price difference, I paid about $78 more for the Momentum watch so definitely a much better value.

That:s a tough call. I think white is more versatile and works with a wider range of straps. But blue is more interesting dial color. If this is going to be your one watch or your main watch, I:d say go with white, but if you're building a collection and already have a white dial watch, I'd go for the blue!

How do you use the nato straps on the watch? I have the same watch and the quick release straps won't allow for a single strap, only two piece straps. Did you attach quick release spring bars to the weekender? Thanks
@JusttheWatch
@JusttheWatch 5 жыл бұрын
You'll need to get some normal spring bars to do it. The 40mm weekender uses 20mm spring bars. Just install them and then slide a NATO in.

I think I'm one of the few people who don't mind the 'tick' of the Timex watches. I had a weekender a few years back and I sold it, but I miss the sound a night. It was rather soothing.

i dont think this watch should be passed, I own the Casio MTD-110 illuminator. Killer price $45, bought in 2017 and they dont even make it anymore. So I think this is good watch to own. True dont get it wet and hopefully if you get 5 yrs use, you are winning all day long!

I was able nab one on timex site for 33 bucks. I love the watch, my first watch I purchased in a very long time. Unfortunately, you are right, it's very loud. I have put it in my living room because I'm not use to hearing the ticking when I'm trying to sleep. I will definitely check out different straps! Just got into watches :)

@@JusttheWatch I would love to see it reviewed. From what I could gather Gustin operates with thresholds/campaign's, so raising some awareness would be nice... for me that is, since I really want that jacket. Again, I'd love to see a review, never mind the obvious bias. Thanks for the reply!

The seconds hand never hits any of the indices precisely, and moreover, it makes some erratic wide jumps in some spots, just like all of my fixe Timex watches. That's highly annoying, and especially so when it happens to be on a chronograph. Also they didn't only remove all chrono functions, they left out the date display. A watch without date is a no-go to me.
@JusttheWatch
@JusttheWatch 5 жыл бұрын
Yeah I prefer a date on my daily wear watches. I like the look of a no date watch, but practically I use my watch to check the date almost as often as the time.

Revenge of the affordable watches. I love my weekender chrono. I've got a leather NATO strap on it and I thought I'd swap out the band frequently but it's just so stinkin' comfortable.

It's sort of an off white, in some lighting it looks white, others it looks a little like cream, but more often I would say it's white. According to my Amazon order history, this is the exact one that I ordered: amzn.to/2NOmSVj
