There are a number of models of Timex Weekender. The one pictured is an oversized chronograph, relatively rare but a good example of the Weekender ethos.
With a 40mm case, it wears a little bigger than others of similar size. That's likely due to not having a bezel and it works for this watch. It also works on my 8 1/2" wrist, something sub 40mm watches don't do well.
While not a dive watch, it offers good everyday water resistance and a reliable quartz movement used in a wide variety of watches ensuring easy replacement down the road should it break or wear out. That noted, Timex quartz watches are known for running for years with nothing more than battery changes.
Many in the series ship with NATO straps, available in a wide range of colors in both stripes and solids. They look great on leather straps and dress up nicely on shark mess. So nicely thanks to simplicity and excellent build quality that you can wear it in almost any setting. The sleek silver case of this model works with jeans and a sweater as well as suit and tie and looks as well as any field watch out there.
I’d like to see more lume than just the hands, but that’s not something Timex is known or purchased for and it’s got Indiglo.
Paired with a vintage stainless steel bracelet, I’m confident I’ve got a true “go anywhere” watch. Timex is knocking it out of the park with an affordable, understated, modern classic.
