TimexUnisex Special Weekender Slip Through Quartz Watch with Analogue Display and Nylon strap

I bought a fw of these Timex Weekenders as soon as they came out in 2011. One for my collection and a few others as gifts.I love these watches as they are simply a design classic.I have uploaded a few pics to show the face - strap and indiglo night light in use.The weekender watch has the slip thru strap which is interchangeable with loads of others. In this case I went for the red - white - blue.The watchface measures 38mm across and 8mm deep. The strap is 8mm wide.It's a quartz movement with the classic red sweeping second hand which I love! The strap has adjustment holes right the way along so it should fit any size wrist from the get go.Timekeeping is the business with this watch and no problems to report here. The buckle fatening is spot on and really comfortable and the Timex Indiglo backlight is the best on any watch. The whole face is evenly lit and perfectly visible at night.Great timepiece for 10 to 100 years old and with the selection of slip thru straps the look of this watch can change dramatically. A classic inexpensive watch in my opinion.

The watch is simple. Exactly what you get in the picture. The watch tells you the time and that is it. It is quartz so you can expect accuracy! The night light is perfect and you can see clearly the time in any darkness level. The wristband is simple but it gets wet very easily, and take a few to dry so avoid doing the dishes with it or showering. The watch itself is water-proof but I wouldn't test it (mainy for the wristband). The look is simple and classy/casual, honestly dont expect people to come over and comment over your watches awesomeness. Simple and goes with many attires. You can't go wrong. It really fits with almost any combination. The colors of the band are not that bright to really dictate what you should wear with.In terms of sturdiness it seems strong (i accidentaly hit my watch on the furniture sometimes, like when you hit your toe on the edge of furniture). So far no dents or scratches. Solid build and the wristband as well so far has no damage. I have the watch over 3 months now and it is just like new. One thing that miiiiight you need to know is that the watch is audible. If you are outside no you will not hear it, but when you sleep if you put the watch within a hand away you will definitely hear the tick-tock. Not loud to be annoying! But I as a light sleeper cant have this near my head to sleep. Having the hand at the hight of the heart and lower; no sound can be heard unless you focus carefully as if you are about to meditate.*A note for the average consumer: notice that there is still a chance that you might get a faulty product (please expect this for the price tag; the quality control is not that strong for cheap items) even though mine is perfect. I would recommend this to anyone hands down. Cheap and elegant.

This watch is AMAZING for the price it costs, this watch is great with it being simple but looking amazing. Its functionality is the same as any watch but the design of it makes it stand out compared to other watches on the market due to its lovely simple design. The glow in the dark feature with the watch is truly amazing from it being a fashionable time piece to it having a great functionaly when trying to read in the dark, The strap length on the watch is great with it being able to fit any size wrist and the wrist band its self being really well made. With accuracy on the watch I am having to reset the time about every week with it only being off by a second or so. In all this watch is amazing with its design and functionality, would recommened to others!

A great watch.Not too large. Easy to read. Has a light for night-time.

I bought this to replace a broken Mondaine watch, which I loved, but which was problematic. Do yourself a favour and search for images of this Timex Weekender 'Central Park' watch on a search engine, as the stock photos here really don't do it justice. The bezel here looks a bit too much like brushed steel. Maybe I'll take some photos and update this review when I can.The watch is simply beautiful. The clearest face, with little points at the tip of the hands that reach all the way to the minutes on the dial. This version also has a red second hand, which makes visibility even better. I love the 24 hour numbers on the inner part of the dial, and the indiglo night light feature is bright and has been very useful on a number of occasions. I'd never had a light on a watch before, and I'd read some reviews of this Timex feature as 'gimmicky'. Not so.The glass is very good and I've been wearing it for six weeks and not a scratch to either glass or metal. The strap started to show signs of needing a wash. You could probably just put it in with your clothes, but I decided to just scrub it with some hand soap and a toothbrush (not the one I use for my teeth, I should add!). It came up as good as new, with the white as it was when I bought it. Great.The only downside to the watch is an unusual trick with setting the time. The long and pointed hands make it beautifully easy to hit the minute when setting, and there is little to no movement in the hands when the crown is pushed in (a problem I've encountered with far more expensive watches). However, it took me some time to realise why the watch was not keeping time even though I'd set it bang on the minute. The reason is because it takes around 19 seconds for the minute hand to start moving once the crown is pushed in. It's a little bizarre, but once I figured this out, and allowed for those 19 seconds to run around, the watch has kept excellent time. In six weeks of use, it's lost 13 seconds. That's around two seconds a week, which is pretty astonishing.My dad liked my watch so much, I bought him the other version of the Central Park edition (the mainly blue with red stripes). Similarly, it had the same issue as mine, with the minute hand not moving for between 10-20 seconds after pressing the crown in. I suspect they may all be like this. It's just a case of watching closely how long it takes to start moving, and then adjusting the time accordingly.That one niggle out of the way, and I'm absolutely delighted with the watch. It's so comfortable. Yes, the tick is audible, but not intrusive and I don't notice it unless I'm prompted to. I also love the ability to customise the watch however I like, with a vast array of different coloured straps available cheaply from places like ebay. However, none of those straps I've bought have been as soft and comfortable as the one this watch comes with.
