it's charming in a way, albeit annoying at the same time, becos once you notice it, you can't stop hearing it. imagine taking an exam in school. all in all, no biggie
I just bought my Weekender yesterday and it arrives tomorrow. It's my first Timex ever. It's a very simple watch, but from all the reviews I've seen I can't wait to wear it. I love the Nato strap.
After this and a few other reviews I decided to purchase this watch. Got it today and I like it. I like it's simple look and that it's got the military time as well. Simple and nice!
Just found out about your channel a week ago, you earned yourself a subscriber. You put out great content, looking forward to watching your channel grow to 100,000 subs and if you keep putting out good videos like this hopefully 1,000,000 subs.
5 years later.. I got it for $40 here in India.. I’d say I’m a kind of disappointed with its off-white dial. I’ve a few Casios (eg., MTP-V005) which cost a third of this TIMEX which are equally attractive. I think we’re just paying for Indiglo !
Thanks for the vid! I just got one for myself and I’m happier with my choice afger watching your video. BTW Your straps in the video look great, eapecially that brown leather one (4:45). Where can I get one like that?
everything is perfect about this watch, except im a student, and sit in quiet classrooms six hours of my day. which means these ticks will hit me in the face
Im currently having a dilemma on which watch to buy. Between the Timex weekender chrono or the Seiko 5 Snkl23, which is better? I personally love both watches and if I could have both, that would be great. But i dont think it is wise to buy both watches for multiple reasons.
Hey Khoi, I have a Weekender and am looking into the SNK803. They're very similar though; beige dials, field-watch aesthetics. Would you have any insights into why one would keep both? Cheers :)
The weekender has a simpler dial than the SNK models. SNK803 looks and feels more like a field watch while the weekender is slightly more versatile, especially with the various natos. Plus they both can be had for under $100 total which is hardly breaking the bank for two smart/casual, solid time pieces. You could also go for a darker dial weekender or the SNK805 or 809.
Hey thanks for the review. I had a question I hope you can answer. I want to gift a Weekender to my dad but he sweats a lot. Will the watch get any rust after a long time of wearing from the sweat? He won't wear it while swimming his only concern is the sweat. Thanks in advance.
I have Timex Expedition with date. Indiglo is great. I like the Expedition case style better than Weekender - field watch. The face is about the same style and looks kind of cheap with these face hands. I can't even hear the tick of the watch close to my ears, tinnitus. 50meters though isnt much protection, even washing dishes. So I have Berny Titanium 100meter with Sapphire crystal that costs about the same and has day and is my favorite wear. Or my casio AE1000W.
hi brother,,,can you suggest some other casual watch just like the timex weekender..? as it is not available in my country any longer....Love from india
@@gentwithin Im going to buy it in white dial with black leather strap. And I will buy an extra black canvas for casual outfit. Thanks for the video, very informative.
For the price point, you really can't be upset. Anytime someone mentions the loud ticking, I just tell them that's how I know it's still working

Put it beside your bed at night its nice to fall sleep to

nice, great choice!
Any Timex guys out there?
For more Timex Weekender style inspiration check out the in-depth review on the blog → bit.ly/2ZJER1c
my mom gave me a weekender as a girft, I wear it everyday love it!
Sweet! they make for a great gift.
I’ve swum in my weekender and jumped off boats into the sea and the 30m WR stood up well. A perfect everyday watch.
Very nice review and it’s great that you did all of that under 10 mins. Definitely hard to find that now a days
Glad it was helpful!
After this and a few other reviews I decided to purchase this watch. Got it today and I like it. I like it's simple look and that it's got the military time as well. Simple and nice!
That's awesome. Did you get the one with the olive strap? And what are your thoughts about the loud ticking?
How's it doing a year later?
Weekender in my opinion when worn with a leather band can be worn with some dress clothes but on a NATO would be regulated to casual wear
agree

Another great video Khoi, and timely too. I’m currently looking to replace my Kenneth Cole watch and thinking the Timex Weekender just might do it.
Thanks man. Enjoy the watch if you do get one!
@DuKirpalani yup, if you want an affordable automatic, look no further than sekio's snks
Great video review. 🎉 I can't wait to hear the ticking. Thanks for the tip of pulling out the crown to preserve the battery. 👏
Nice video, thanks for sharing. Decided to pick one of these up.
great pickup!
This is the best Timex watch! Thousand watches in one!
definitely a lil workhorse
Thanks again Khoi for another great video!
Hey brotha! Thanks for dropping by 🤙
I like the polished look. It matches the silver curb bracelet I have.
niice. do you have this weekender watch?
@@gentwithin no I’ve looked at it a couple times, I just never pulled the trigger. I’m afraid I’ll never wear it. I usually wear citizen.
@@gigatronicdeth gotcha! I think you'll like timex too if you like Citizen
@@gentwithin I got a solar timex scout solar with a leather strap. She’s a beauty. Just not a citizen

I have 2 weekenders, I love them so much
nice. which ones?
Awesome video!I really like the pant you're wearing at 2:37,could you pls tell me where did you buy it?
Thanks for watching! They're from GAP from a few seasons ago. Wool, herringbone. I also had the legs tapered and shortened.
@@gentwithin thank you very much!
Love this watch
same, it's a classic
Thanks for the vid! I just got one for myself and I’m happier with my choice afger watching your video. BTW Your straps in the video look great, eapecially that brown leather one (4:45). Where can I get one like that?
they've got leather watch straps like that on amazon!
@@gentwithin Thanks!
Hey khoi , i am looking to buy one. But i have small wrist.Will it look good
I’m watching this video 5 years after it was posted and I’m curious how the Weekender is doing after 10 years?
nice. still working fine. Just needs a battery replacement
The weekender and the Casio F-91 are the two best cheap budget Quartz watches.
they are definitely value plays!
I love this watch band
same!
You have a Seiko SNK as well. I have the same setup as you: Weekender and an SNK except that both of mine have black dials. I prefer darker colors.
dope! great watches
everything is perfect about this watch, except im a student, and sit in quiet classrooms six hours of my day. which means these ticks will hit me in the face
😂😂😂 that tick never gets old.

i'd say they're both fairly different. not a matter of what's better, but what's more your style. one's a chronograph while the other is dressier.
Is there a weekender with the same white background without the military time?

Good luck with your decision!
Should i get an expedition scout instead?
your call..depends on your aesthetic

no rust..he will be okay.
I do want one but because of the price difference for them in Europe they’re just never worth the money.
Thank you for this video brother
thanks for watching!

It's been 8 years, so how's it going with the watch?
still ticking...and I haven't replaced the original battery!
Jesus Loves Yall So So Much! ❤️🙏
Does the second hand have a lot of backlash? is seems a bit weebly wobbly.
not sure what you mean by backlash? It ticks normally, just loudly.
Yes, it has.
The 38mm is just too small for me (7.5 inch wrist). Went with the 43mm XL with the matt black finish. ("Ah ray bic" or "Air ah bic" numerals 🤔)
nice, i personally think the smaller dials 36-38 are much flattering on my wrist, but to each his own!
Arabic is the word you’re looking for good sir.
43 is too big
hi brother,,,can you suggest some other casual watch just like the timex weekender..? as it is not available in my country any longer....Love from india
how about the seiko 5 snk series or hamilton khaki field?
@@gentwithin thank you man...ur my icon ....love your channel to the core...
@@petlovenewyorker1608 mean's a lot man!
Where do you buy the straps
cheapest nato straps. or amazon
Great product
yup
Weird thing, the tick helps me fall asleep
really? first time i've heard that lol
Where's the vest from
probably j.crew factory walker vest
Case looks like Nomos Club
yeah, a lil bit!
Specially found a lean hand that hours seemed more?
sorry, i don't follow..
Have one
nice
You watch reviewers really over exaggerate the tic noise coming from the watch. It is not all that loud yo disturb you. Really
WTF you talking about...it's loud AF! 🤣
name of music?
i don't recall! sorry
ruclips.net/video/aXbtadC5kx8/видео.html
Just remember in your reviews that it’s very inexpensive
hence 'best affordable watch'...
Can I wear this watch in a school uniform?
And what kind of strap should I use?
absolutely. what kind of strap do you like? leather or canvas is all good. timex is versatile like that.
@@gentwithin Im going to buy it in white dial with black leather strap. And I will buy an extra black canvas for casual outfit. Thanks for the video, very informative.
That sounds like a great pairing. Cheers!
Not waterproof. No sale. Next.
what kind of watch are you looking for?
It's a $25 watch bro
Great Video! Use autofocus less... Overall great content. Gonna check you out again in a few days before I sub.
