The Weekender is one of the most recommended starter watches for good reason. It has a clean, readable dial, a size that suits almost any wrist and Indiglo, Timex’s full-dial backlight that’s much easier to read in the dark than lume. It takes slip-through NATO straps, so you can change the look in seconds.
Who it’s for
First-time watch buyers, students and anyone who wants an inexpensive analog watch that looks good with casual clothes.
Buying tips
- The second hand ticks audibly. Some people like it and some can’t sleep with it on the nightstand.
- Variants differ in case finish and dial. Check the model number in the listing against what’s in the photos.
- New prices are low enough that used examples rarely make sense unless they come with extra straps.
