Timex Weekender Review/Best Watch Under $50??

[@mahmam3128]

Thank you for this video, no snobbery, no exaggerations and very informative

[@jorgemurakami7481]

4:57 and 5:23 The leather strap is supposed to go through the metal hardware hanging free below the watch. After all, we're supposed to look cool when wearing a NATO strap.

[@aroshgk]

My very first watch..I got the one with the cream dial. I don't have a huge watch collection, but I will oneday.. But the weekender will always be special and will always be in my collection.

[@TheStyleOG]

Special watch !

[@patrickthomas100]

I’m absolutely loving the evolution of education that I have been witnessing here on KZbin. There’s been leaps and bounds made in the sharing of knowledge across the board. Anyone who is not taking advantage of the wealth of knowledge sharing is really missing out.

[@TheStyleOG]

Indeed Perfume Talk!

[@westfieldartworks8188]

I read your post, PT.....and I have to agree. I didn't learn much in 4 years of high school, but 4 years on KZbin has transformed me quite a bit. I've seriously increased my skills set in 4 years....big time.

[@cliftonsledge962]

It just shows you do not have to buy a designer watch to look good. Great video O.G.

[@TheStyleOG]

Thanks Clifton!

[@katrinasmith1464]

EXACTLY!!!

[@JusTheKing.]

I've got two different models of Weekenders and I love both. Love how you can swap out the straps and make them look like completely different watches. Very versatile watch. Good vid!!

[@TheStyleOG]

Thanks Kingz!

[@benkenobi6582]

Yeah they are definitely a strap monster

[@toddalbert8342]

I haven't picked up the Timex Weekender yet but I do have the Seiko 5 Automatic which closely resembles the Weekender. Solid review and great advice for a functional casually styled timepiece.

[@TheStyleOG]

Thanks Todd!

[@redragna3648]

I tried out the Seiko 5 SNK myself. It was definitely a great watch for the price. My one complaint with it was that the dial was too busy and it was hard to tell the time at a glance which is why I switched to the Weekender. Really enjoyed the bead blasted finish.

[@Lavi-Aemilia-Astori]

@@redragna3648 Seiko 5 is not bad, bought the weekender just because I am saving for something else

[@savvylifestrategies9445]

Great wrist watch review, Jeff. The Timex Weekender is a solid watch for $50. I especially like the 38mm case size. In addition, I like the direction you're taking the channel. I recommend reviewing Seiko 5, a great entry-level mechanical watch for well under a $100. I notice your subs keep growing. Salute!

[@TheStyleOG]

Love Seikos! Salute Lou..

[@davidcoleman2463]

I like me Timex expedition but I love my Sieko 5 .

[@darthgiggity7948]

Especially the Seiko SKX Diver's series. Inexpensive, classic, and very durable.

[@boscokid9524]

I wear a Timex Expedition when I go camping. Waterproof, not expensive, and highly functional. The weekender looks like something I might need! .

[@TheStyleOG]

great watch Doug!

[@StopFear]

At 7:05 , oh it won’t get wet from swimming. Maybe from diving into certain warm caves.

[@redragna3648]

I started wearing a watch a few years back and tried out much more expensive watches (automatics and quartz) of various styles. They were nice but nothing felt just right. Once I got the Weekender, which I've been wearing for over a year every single day, I haven't really looked at anything else. It's such a perfect fit. My one and only complaint is the ticking but I am willing to live with it. I did find a couple of other companies that make a watch that is very similar in style (Shinola and the Stowa Partitio) and might try those out eventually but, so far, I am extremely happy with the Weekender.

[@ShadyV33]

Hey Jeff, just wanted to drop a thanks in here. I'm pretty new to mens fashion and yours was the first channel I found and watched consistently. Anyway I wanted a winter jacket (living in England it's useful all year round). I never thought a peacoat would suit me. But you said it looks good on nearly everyone so I recently got a navy one on sale down from £150 to £80. And I absolutely love it! Again big thanks. Salute.

[@westfieldartworks8188]

Hey Lee, I had to respond to your post. The PEACOAT idea is something I also picked up from this channel. I also was able to buy an expensive one on sale for 75% percent off when a major retailer here in the U.S. went out of business is late 2018. I LOVE my peacoat!! I feel like a king when I wear it.... and women love to see me in it...

[@TheStyleOG]

Glad to help Lee !

[@slg8j]

Been wearing. The weekender almost daily for about 2 years now. Like you said Jeff, hard to find any complaints at the price point. Keep up the good work brother!

[@TheStyleOG]

will do my friend!

[@relosapulso]

does the polished case still there? or it is already worn off?

[@GeeMontre88]

I have a blue dial weekender chronograph that I just picked up from Target for $45!! I love it! I remember earlier in the channel, about a year ago. You first talked about the weekender in your "6 Best Watches Under $100" vid. That was back when you did the "Affordable Style Series" Happy to see you go more in depth about it! Another great vid, OG!! Keep It Up!!! #Salute

[@TheStyleOG]

Great watch, the issue I had with it was the left over band strap. It didn’t have a place to put the left over so it looked weird. I’m not sure if you had that problem.

[@maxia4584]

My dad just got me this watch while it was on sale for $32 absolute steal. This watch is amazing

[@TheStyleOG]

Indeed!

[@blaed011]

Hey Style OG I completely agree with you on the weekender. I just went out and bought one on your recommendation and a few extra straps. Love it!

[@TheStyleOG]

super value Ed!

[@raulsaavedra709]

Totally agree, this watch is the best value ever. Had one for a long time and unfortunately lost it, purchased another. This second one developed a minor problem: the indiglo does not work sometimes unless pulling out the little crown and then pushing again. Main issue overall is always the relatively loud tick as you very well indicate. Other than that, absolutely excellent watches for the price.

[@TheStyleOG]

appreciate the input Raul!

[@JamHatt1975]

Good stuff O.G. The Weekender and Ironman are classic pieces from Timex. Very good watch investments.

I respect and commend you on the fact that you recommend affordable items on every budget. A lot of these channels sold out and recommend items that are not within the average budget and to be honest probably would not buy themselves if they were not sponsored. stay true to yourself and keep up the great work. Thanks again!

Thank you Michael !

I bought my weekender 38 mm dark blue dial with tan leather strap I’m a bigger guy and most of my watches are bigger so I went with the 38mm to try something different and I’m supprised it look elegant looking to experiment with different NATO straps on this I’m very happy with my new watch

[@TheStyleOG]

appreciate the input Katrina!

[@CmdrBondUK]

I own several Timex weekenders and other Timex watches. Very durable, stylish, robust yet cool looking. As you mentioned, one particular plus is the ability to swap out the straps to suit your outfit, leather, nato, rubber in a myriad of colors and styles. Making the Timex a truly versatile time piece and a no brainier on the price point!

Yes lord timex was my very first watch when I started at Walmart in 1996 & I still have it🤩gonna grab 2 of these thanks to u! I also have a pulser made by Seiko same brand I think I was my wedding day gift! Still rock that one as well classic look! One quick question I’m selling all my MK watch and I want a vintage Rolex I know it’s been so many different videos made about this! No time soon but I’m working on it, it’s my graduation gift to myself when I finish my PHD in sports sociology! Another great one bro🙏🏾👊🏽🔥🔥🔥

Do you think the color of the case will change overtime or no?

[@fraac]

I've totally got into watches in the last few weeks. Timex Weekender is a great tip. Also loving the Seiko SNK8 series. What I haven't found is a good cheap watch that you can really dress up. People recommend Orient but they look a bit large on me. A video on dressier watches would be much appreciated!

[@TheStyleOG]

soon to come Kenneth!

[@therealchucktaylor3392]

Good info O.G, have a couple of timex watches and have enjoyed them. Any suggestions on any stylish watch storage boxes. Salute!

Thank you ... i was really debating buying a 500 dollar apple watch but I'll cop one of those instead

[@westfieldartworks8188]

Man, I read your post, Boundless. The Apple watches are cool. I never thought I'd be too big on Apple watches...but no, I was wrong. That said, you can get a lot of damn nice watches for $50 to $150 dollars...and save more if you buy a couple of those slightly used on Ebay. I bought 5 watches that are cool as hell and are tops even with watch geeks for that same $500 dollars. I have a Timex Weekender, 2 Seiiko 5's, A Citizen watch, and an Orient Bambino. I can't imagine giving up all those cool ass watches for just 1 Apple watch.

Great to see a review of a watch on a mens fashion youtube channel that isnt a paid commercial for mvmt or vincero, but water resistance upto 30m just means that the watch is splash-proof. So you shouldnt go swimming with it. Keep up the good work O.G.

Will do Shawn !

[@Rob954ever]

I was wondering, how tall are you and what's your wrist measurement? The reason I ask is because I've been wanting the watch but I'm worried that it will wear too small on me. I'm 6'1", 205 and have an athletic build.

[@alvinsanchez967]

When I built my small watch collection my first watch was the Timex Weekender 40mm with a cream dial & silver-tone case. I brought several different Nato straps including a red, white & blue strap for the 4th of July week. For a very good watch KZbin channel head over to "The Urban Gentry". PS I just barely got my order in for the cashmere scarves as they was selling fast. It took longer than normal for the order to be fulfilled but the departure location was close. The package came in yesterday and my mother enjoyed her gift. I can't wait for next fall when it gets cold enough for me to wear the burgundy plaid scarf.

[@Tai_Jitu]

Had my eyes on that one for a while, but the brass material gives me pause. Other coated brass watches have practically corroded on my wrist. How has this held up for you?

Hi, Jeff. That particular Timex has a plated brass case. It might be a bad idea to polish this watch as you might remove the plating. Overall, the watch is pretty good value! And there are Timex watches with stainless steel cases. Thanks for the video!

I’m sure it’s just me but I don’t want any part of cheap. You know the first 2 things women look at are your shoes & watch. Thanks for your time, brother

[@casualsuede]

I have a weekender and like it. However, the weekender design is somewhat lacking and isn't as robust as how others make it out to be. So I prefer an homage because the designs of a watch under $50 are usually lacking. Having said that, I would prefer the the invicta submariner homage ($45), the sturhling dress watch, the 3997z ($54) or the brismassi essetti chrono dress watch ($40).

[@TechnoLawyer]

Shout out from one middle aged stylish gentleman to another! I've been enjoying your videos. You are extremely spot on for the weekender. Dirt cheap, looks good with everything other than a suit, and it's the one quartz watch (other than a g-shock) that watch snobs won't look down on you for owning. Great for casual scenarios where you'd feel odd wearing an expensive watch (or where you worry an expensive watch would get knocked around and dinged up; your weekender gets too beat up? Who cares, buy a new one). Buy a bunch of cheap natos from Amazon and have fun selecting ones to play off colors of what you're wearing. It's the one watch every man should own. There's every reason to buy one, and zero reason not to. Also, the tick seems random with timex watches. My weekender doesn't do it. My other timex (a Todd Snyder military) ticks real loudly. Go figure.

I'm no expert on watches but it's kind of hard for me to understand why audible "ticking" is a problem for anyone. Watches are supposed to tick, hence the slang "tick-tock". But then I'm not a wealthy elitist, I'm just a guy who drives a truck.

[@TheStyleOG]

it's not the tick, it's an extremely loud tick, like you can hear i ticking while you are trying to sleep..
