Timex Mens Weekender 40mm Watch

Wow for the money very good deal. Looks stylish and classy in a simplistic way. Exactly what I was looking for. I like it a lot. I don't know about how accurate it keeps time yet - but it is quartz so it has to be decent.vrry easy to set and use.. looks like it will be very durable and that it is well built. Read more

I purchased the Chronograph Timex watch. I bought this, because my fancy watch had a unique band, and after years the pins would come out and have to be pushed back in constantly else would rip clothing, scratch, etc. Then the clip wore, and when I went to buy another band found out the band is custom for that watch and no longer available. Perfectly good watch killed by a now irreplaceable band. So I had to buy another watch. When I buy a watch, I like real numbers on the face (1,2,3...etc not dots/dashes nor Roman numerals). I like a light up face. I also like a watch with a Chronograph so when I cook burgers I can see my 6 min are up and time to flip and don't have to have my phone. I'm also middle-aged and married, and like a watch that looks nice, but don't need it to impress as the famous quote from the movie "Accountant 2"... "Our Dad was too cheap, look at this Rolex, know what he'd say about it?" Ben Affleck responds "He'd say it tells the same time as his watch". I'm very pleased with this watch, though I wish it came with instructions just a sticker on the back saying what each button does. In particular, my chronograph when reset one of the dials would reset to 3 (and I may have accidentally caused that when setting the time the first use). No instructions on how to adjust that... went online and saw a video and now all my chronograph hands reset to 0. Something to be aware you can adjust the chronograph. .The band appears to be generic and easily replaceable but also probably the weak point. The band may be "leather", but it's really thin and likely bonded leather (where they glue leather fibers together and is not strong and I could be wrong). The numbers are large and easy to read, I love the Indiglo feature, I can see the whole watch at night now. In short, it's nice looking, practical, with very useful features. Surprises include: It lets you set the hour quickly so you don't have to keep spinning the minute hand around, and around, and around. This is also how you set the date so it doesn't take too long. The Indiglo really is nice, and lights up the whole face. The chronograph hands are adjustable if they don't reset to 0, though you'll need to find the video on how to do it as this watch comes with no instructions. I think the band is bonded leather unfortunately. I'm thinking within a year I'm going to be buying a new band which is basically an added cosdt. Read more

This is a terrific watch. Easy to read. Looks good. Great value. Read more

Nice watch that looks good. I do have some issues with it though. The face is busy, which I kinda expected but not to the extent that it is. That is on me, I saw the pictures. The blue face with white numbering looks nice but unless you are in a brightly lit room it is unreadable. The indiglo back light completely washes out the white numbers. The numbers become invisible with the backlight on. The 24 hour numbers are so small with out a magnifying glass they barely exist. I think a white face with black numbering would fix all of these complaints. This color combination while attractive is hard to read. I drive trucks at night and have to fill out paperwork on a clipboard with times. Sometimes parking lots and loading docks aren’t lit up properly and are dim. I have a simpler one with a white face that is amazingly easy to read in all lighting conditions and the backlight works wonderfully. Amazingly easy to read. My current watch is beat up and I was hopping to replace it with this. Read more

Good watch. Makes a noticeable ticking noise, but that's to be expected of any quartz watch. Looks pretty nice; the off-white is notable much less dark than depicted; it's hardly a bone white. Read more

General Forward About My Timex Opinions: Let me begin by saying that I'm somewhat infatuated with Timex, yet a realist that's hopefully not biased. I scolded Timex, through their customer service, for not putting out products with better quality control, as read in various Amazon reviews, and falling behind in their reputation as a well built watch as I remember from my early childhood; I'm now 51 years old. As for my experience, though, I've had GREAT luck with the current Timex watches in my collection. I give 2 thumbs up to their current design team. Specific Product Review: I'm somewhat driven to collect each and every watch in their Weekender 40mm, Weekender Chrono, and Fairfield lines. I admire the retro, minimalist flair that Timex has been pushing. It's a great watch for the price, too. The Timex Indiglo is fantastic. This Weekender and my Weekender Fairfield both have a slight shadow at the bottom when the Indiglo is engaged. That's not a problem to me as I've come to realize it's not a defect. As for the ticking sound... I love it!!! It tells me that it's a watch. It's louder than my other Weekender Fairfield but slightly quieter than the Weekender 38mm. The 40mm face speaks class, simple and elegant. The Weekender 40mm is just the right size. I stay away from the 38mm Weekender since it's too small and feminine on my wrist. The leather band seems at first too thin but it's actually VERY nice and attractive. If the band ever wears out, I'll just put on a NATO.... notice photos. As to accuracy, this Timex seems to be (+/-) 1-2 seconds off per week. I like quartz movements for their accuracy. I only ask for Timex to bring back an American made watch that's constructed to be passed down to my children; I'll gladly pay extra for Timex to get back up to Seiko or Citizen reputation. I'd love to see all stainless steel and Sapphire Crystal glass. I think Timex has a great watch for the price. I'm behind these watches 100%. Go Timex!!!!! Read more
