TimexMen's Weekender 40mm Watch

Nice looking, Practical, Indiglo is awesome, Chronograph is adjustable, band likely won't hold up
I purchased the Chronograph Timex watch.I bought this, because my fancy watch had a unique band, and after years the pins would come out and have to be pushed back in constantly else would rip clothing, scratch, etc. Then the clip wore, and when I went to buy another band found out the band is custom for that watch and no longer available. Perfectly good watch killed by a now irreplaceable band.So I had to buy another watch. When I buy a watch, I like real numbers on the face (1,2,3...etc not dots/dashes nor Roman numerals). I like a light up face. I also like a watch with a Chronograph so when I cook burgers I can see my 6 min are up and time to flip and don't have to have my phone. I'm also middle-aged and married, and like a watch that looks nice, but don't need it to impress as the famous quote from the movie "Accountant 2"... "Our Dad was too cheap, look at this Rolex, know what he'd say about it?" Ben Affleck responds "He'd say it tells the same time as his watch".I'm very pleased with this watch, though I wish it came with instructions just a sticker on the back saying what each button does. In particular, my chronograph when reset one of the dials would reset to 3 (and I may have accidentally caused that when setting the time the first use). No instructions on how to adjust that... went online and saw a video and now all my chronograph hands reset to 0. Something to be aware you can adjust the chronograph. .The band appears to be generic and easily replaceable but also probably the weak point. The band may be "leather", but it's really thin and likely bonded leather (where they glue leather fibers together and is not strong and I could be wrong). The numbers are large and easy to read, I love the Indiglo feature, I can see the whole watch at night now.In short, it's nice looking, practical, with very useful features.Surprises include: It lets you set the hour quickly so you don't have to keep spinning the minute hand around, and around, and around. This is also how you set the date so it doesn't take too long.The Indiglo really is nice, and lights up the whole face.The chronograph hands are adjustable if they don't reset to 0, though you'll need to find the video on how to do it as this watch comes with no instructions.I think the band is bonded leather unfortunately. I'm thinking within a year I'm going to be buying a new band which is basically an added cosdt.

The "Weekender" That Never Lets You Forget It's the Weekend
The Timex Weekender 40mm, the horological equivalent of that friend who insists they're "low maintenance" while requiring constant validation. This watch doesn't just tick; it announces its presence with the subtlety of a marching band practicing in your bedroom at 3 AM. Let's start with that famous Timex "Indiglo" feature, which sounds impressive until you realize it's just a fancy name for "glow-in-the-dark but only when you press this tiny button that requires the dexterity of a brain surgeon." Want to check the time in the dark? Hope you've been doing finger exercises. The 40mm case strikes that perfect balance of being too large for smaller wrists and too small for anyone who actually wants to make a statement. It's the watch equivalent of ordering a medium coffee when you really wanted a large but didn't want to seem greedy.And those interchangeable NATO straps? Sure, you can swap them out faster than your weekend plans, but let's be honest no matter which $8 fabric strip you choose, you're still wearing what essentially amounts to a slightly more sophisticated friendship bracelet that happens to tell time. The "water resistant to 30 meters" claim is adorable, assuming you plan on timing your shallow end pool lounging rather than any actual aquatic adventures. This watch treats water like a vampire treats holy water best kept at a respectful distance. At least it keeps accurate time, though given how loudly it ticks, you'll never forget it's there. Consider it the world's most affordable meditation on the relentless passage of time, complete with audio commentary. Two thumbs up for affordability, two thumbs down for subtlety. Perfect for people who want to look punctual without looking expensive, mission accomplished.

Good value!
Had it over a year. Super durable. Best watch I've owned and sleep with it on. Indiglo is awesome! I wake up and can easily see what time it is. I've owned plenty of expensive watches and primarily wear this watch.

Wish It had a White face
Nice watch that looks good. I do have some issues with it though. The face is busy, which I kinda expected but not to the extent that it is. That is on me, I saw the pictures. The blue face with white numbering looks nice but unless you are in a brightly lit room it is unreadable. The indiglo back light completely washes out the white numbers. The numbers become invisible with the backlight on. The 24 hour numbers are so small with out a magnifying glass they barely exist. I think a white face with black numbering would fix all of these complaints. This color combination while attractive is hard to read.I drive trucks at night and have to fill out paperwork on a clipboard with times. Sometimes parking lots and loading docks aren’t lit up properly and are dim. I have a simpler one with a white face that is amazingly easy to read in all lighting conditions and the backlight works wonderfully. Amazingly easy to read. My current watch is beat up and I was hopping to replace it with this.

Works great. Glass blimished.
Glass was blemishes that you can't remove. Probably a fluke. My other was perfect.

A brilliant everyday choice
I absolutely love this watch. Am a little watch-obsessed but in this crazy world of tech, it takes me to a simpler time. It’s clear, easy to read, super light and comfortable and I own 2 of them. How could you not with the price point? Truly an excellent buy. I put my smartwatch away and am going to unplug for awhile. Love this watch for the simplicity and wouldn’t it be nice to have a little more simple in our lives right now? Buy it.
