Timex Weekender Review
Not every watch needs to be a "timepiece." Some just need to tell time. The Weekender is the ultimate casual watch.
Indiglo
Push the crown, and the entire dial glows electric blue. It is still the best low-light legibility feature on any analog watch, regardless of price.
Style
It uses slip-through NATO style straps. You can change the look of the watch from leather to nylon in 10 seconds.
Verdict
The gateway drug to watch collecting. It's fun, functional, and practically disposable if you smash it.
