Looking for a Timex watch? Alongside the relaxed, everyday Weekender line, the other Timex series can also be ordered from us: if you want an Ironman or a more classic piece, let us know and we will source it. We are an official Timex dealer, we send the watches with the manufacturer warranty and home delivery, and our own service is ready for strap and battery changes.
Why is Timex so well known?
The history of Timex goes back to 1854, to Waterbury, Connecticut, where it started as the Waterbury Clock Company. Today it is part of the Timex Group. It is recognised for two things: one is the Indiglo backlight introduced in the early nineties, which lights the whole dial evenly, the other is the Ironman series of sports watches. Their old slogan, "It takes a licking and keeps on ticking", also built the reputation of hard-wearing watches.
Timex Weekender – who is it for?
The Weekender is a unisex everyday piece: an easy-to-read dial, a light case and a sporty, relaxed character, often with a colourful or lettered dial. We recommend it to anyone who would wear a casual watch with jeans and trainers, or who is looking for a gift that does not cost a fortune. The Weekender is typically 3 ATM, so it can take rain but should not go underwater.
What to look for when choosing a Timex watch
- Light: if you often glance at it in the dark, look for the Indiglo models.
- Sport or everyday: for running and workouts, the Ironman digital watches; for the street, the Weekender type.
- Strap change: the straps of Weekender-style watches are easy to swap, and our service can do the change too.
What determines the price of a Timex watch?
Timex starts among the affordable watches, but the range is wider than that: the quartz Weekender and Ironman are the entry level, while pieces with metal bracelets and automatics are the higher category. For models available to order, we will tell you the exact price by type. You can browse other brands in the list of watch brands.
What many people do not know: Timex does not only make cheap watches, the range also includes more serious pieces with metal bracelets and automatic movements. If you have a specific model in mind, perhaps the successor of an old Timex, tell us and we will find the version that can be ordered.
If you like the Weekender, check the case size and strap width on the product page – compared with your wrist, that makes it easy to decide how it will look.
