The nato-style strap is a nice choice and fits the aesthetic really well.ĭo you know what would look better and last for nearly forever? This white and navy nato strap. The tan leather and chrome hardware make for an attractive pair. I doubt it will last longer than a couple of years of regular wear. However, it is thin leather and begins to show wear almost immediately. The brown leather strap looks and feels good when worn. I don’t see it holding up well in more active or dangerous situations, and while Timex says it has 30m/98ft worth of water resistance, I don’t think I’d take it for a swim either. During regular use it came out no worse for wear, though regular use for me consists of office and computing work. The mineral crystal on the Weekender is good enough and somewhat resistant to scratches. Certainly the Weekender Chronograph makes a few small sacrifices here, but they wouldn’t prevent me from recommending the watch. If there was anywhere that you’d expect a sub $100 watch to compromise, it’d be in its build quality. Timex Weekender Chronograph Build Quality I’ve since replaced the stock leather strap, which is mediocre quality, with a Barton nato (pictured above). The tan leather nato-style strap is attractive and compliments the watch face. Overall, I think it’s a great looking watch.
Indiglo is easily the best low-light or no-light backlighting you can get in a watch. The markings on the face are sharp, and even under significant zoom from my 90mm macro lens I can’t find any imperfections. The face looks just as good at night when Indiglo lights it up. Oh, and it lets us buy more watches, too.

… but it does allow us to purchase camera gear ($5,000+ since 2013), software licenses (Adobe Photoshop, etc.), web hosting, and so on. You should know that if you click on ads that WYCA receives an approximate 4% commission on the sale of the watch you buy. This does not change the price that you pay… They also offer fair prices and fast shipping. Usually, Amazon offers a two-year warranty on watches bought from them. If you like what we do and want to support us, consider grabbing a watch from Amazon. The chrono manages to keep the overall look without getting too cluttered.

Our reviews are based on our first-hand experience with the watch. We consider Timex a reputable manufacturer and have had good experience with their watches. Famous for their slogan “it takes a licking and keeps on ticking”, Timex watches have become synonymous with inexpensive, durable, reliable quartz timepieces. Timex, as we know it today, came to be in the mid-1980’s, though the company’s history dates as far back as 1854 (in one form or another).
I really love that you can get a great watch for well under $75. It’s hard to find fault in such an affordable and well-made piece. Timex’s Indiglo backlight is the best in the industry, and like its non-chrono sibling – the Weekender 40 – the Chronograph enjoys exceptional visibility at any time of day or night as a result.
This Chronograph (model: TW2P62300) is another example of the things that make a Weekender great: simplicity, ease of use, and timeless style.
