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

(2-3 years ownership/2 color versions of this watch) You can spend much more money for much less timekeeping accuracy than this watch provides. Timekeeping: I lose about 15-20 sec to the NIST time clock each six month time change interval when I reset the time. Not bad at all. Setting: You can stop the second hand sweep at 12 high by simply pulling the crown to the set position which greatly aids locking in on the universal time clock to the second. It restarts when the crown is snapped back down. Looks and Durability: The polished case and flat crystal look almost new after two years of frequent wear. Size and Legibility: About perfect for a field watch - bigger than a dress face and smaller than a divers chrono. Fairly low profile and snug to the wrist. Can read with or without my glasses. I don't often use the backlight, but it lights very well. Price: Really reasonable with one caveat - you'll probably tire of the flimsy but stylish nylon web band after a short time and spend about $25 more for a nice leather band. The total investment is still a good value over many other watches. Overall, this watch goes anywhere with anything and keeps very accurate time. You'll probably ignore your other watches because you'll use it everyday, not just on weekends. It's A TIMEX!

I wanted a basic analogue watch. Loved how easy this is to read. Very basic, high contrast simple dial and numbers. So light you don't even know you have it on. Very durable. what a steal at this price!

I would argue that this would be a nice, inexpensive watch to get for your first "dress-up" function--like a concert, let's say--and you're not gonna be around people who are seriously expecting you to wear expensive hardware. There's something wrong with those people anyway. I have found a couple faults (which I'll get into in a bit), but if you can live with those, this is a watch that just looks good with a suit.I bought this watch mostly for the face, which is just classic, tasteful design, and the fact that you can change out the strap fairly easily (it's interchangeable for a standard 20mm NATO strap). It has sort of a railroad watch look to it, very utilitarian and purposeful. It came in at just under $30 for me, hopefully a little less for you.If you do a search for "Timex Weekender" you'll see there are lots of other color variants in the watch body to play with as well; one has a gray face with white numerals, one is white with black numerals, some have red second-hands, some have blue ones. Some are polished chrome, others are buffed chrome, and one or two are an anthracite color.The one you're looking at here is polished chrome with a black face, white numerals, chrome hour and minute hands, and a red second-hand. All of the ones I've seen so far come with Indiglo, Timex's patented electroluminescent backlighting system that's been around since I was a kid. It lights up the whole face, leaving the numerals and hands in negative relief so you can read 'em in the dark.My biggest complaint so far--and it's a pretty minor thing--is the chrome minute and hour hands. They do catch the light sometimes, but more often than not they seem to "disappear" against the black watch face, and I find myself having to move my wrist around to tell the time. (UPDATE 2/14/16: see attached pic.) I suppose I could nudge the crown and activate the Indiglo if it was a big deal, but I have other watches that don't seem to have this problem. I have a feeling the variants of this watch that have black hands are more legible. I can see why they did the chrome hands, because the case is shiny and chrome-plated as well. But I'm not gonna lie, if the hands were white, it would make the watch look a good bit more expensive. Just sayin'.The other drawback is basically a Timex thing. This watch ticks very loudly. I've said this in a review of my other Timex watch: "You can hear it inside a moving vehicle with the radio on. If you wear this as a daily watch, you'll get used to it. It's the people around you (significant other, co-workers) who won't. Do not leave this watch on when you go to bed. Just... trust me." What I mean by that is, if there is any decent amount of ambient noise, that should drown it out, but if you're in a somewhat quiet place, you (and anyone else within whispering distance) WILL hear it.The strap that comes with this watch is sort of a rough-textured ballistic nylon, which looks fairly tough and should wear well, but it's a little scratchy against the wrist at first. After about a month of wear it is fraying a bit at the end, but I think that looks good. It's also a little bit long, so if you have small wrists there may be a bit hanging off the end. That's ok... the "NATO look" prescribes that you wear the remainder of your strap tucked into the metal clasps. I have big enough wrists that this isn't a problem. Again, if you get tired of it or need to change out for a different color, there's a whole world of NATO straps available to play with.So, here's the deal: this is a genuine timepiece which isn't pretending to be anything else. You could drop thirty bucks on something cheap and blingy that's trying to ape a more expensive watch with complications that don't even work. But if you want something with a timeless, classic, functional design, something that will go REALLY well with that new black suit you "had to buy for that thing", this watch should be in your cart.
