As a surgeon MD myself, I consider this to be the best fitting and useful tool at my consulting room. Noisy sound lets me to track vital signs perfectly even without looking directly to the second hand or even test auditive sense capabilities with my wrist, and it has a light and easy to read box, it's even white and it rhymes with my gown! Best tool for a doctor!
I had various wind Timex in the 70’, think I had other brands, later Casio quarts, cannot remember the others before 1983, years later bought a 1976 Times Marlin - gold plated with Roman numerals, I still have it with original leather strap.
Got a weekender myself and its a really cool little watch. I really like this colourway though, great for summer and of course their party trick is awesome.
Mine is coming Friday. Its the gray band with orange stripes. When it comes to this watch , this one will be my other choice to my Invictus automatic watch.
The tick sound of the Weekender doesn’t bother me. After some time in the Army, hearing loss has set in, and I don’t hear it unless it’s to my ear. The watch has a simplistic look, and does what a watch is supposed to do.
Might buy an original based upon this interesting review, I have seen the original straps, originally they were black, think slimmer, as this model version may have had a circuit board fitted, I liked the colour, not to clued up on NATO straps, the leather looked nice.
I'm confused- I know everyone says the ticking is insanely loud but I just bought one and no one can hear it from more than 3 feet away, and even then it's barely audible. If there's any noise in a room at all, you don't hear it.
The Weekender is a great value watch but I must be deaf as mine makes no sound. I love the retro style which to me is like a fleiger but lacks the sophistication of its German cousin and, for some, is probably too reminiscent of a 1950s school watch. Some people are only satisfied with a giant carbuncle, with a gaudy technicolour face, a fat bezel just for show, sprouting multiple dials and crowns, like a seed potato. Often, less is more.
The expedition is a great watch. I think a lot of people get a weekender as their first exposure to watches because of the price point and generic design
I just purchased one for my mother. A nice purple snoopy one with the peace logo. Looking at it now I may go out and buy one for myself too. The one you show looks good. Thanks for sharing.
Fun beater I bought years ago for an easy rotation of NATO straps, but darn that second hand is loud. Drives my wife nuts when it’s on the bedside table.

The ticking never bothers me, infact I like the noise, I love these watches.
My first ever watch was a manual wind Timex in the 1970’s

Nice! What colourway did you choose?
@@addicted_to_watches thanks and the old black with the red seconds hand
That'd be even more of a strap monster than the white
Think this is the best watch I’ve seen so far. Can definitely see going with the blue and orange strap.
Blue and Orange is a top tier colour combination
Mine is coming Friday. Its the gray band with orange stripes. When it comes to this watch , this one will be my other choice to my Invictus automatic watch.
Nice! I hope you enjoy it
@@addicted_to_watches thanks. When it comes to the other watch. Search up Invictus skull watch.

It's pretty much all you need in a watch

It definitely looks great on leather. If you end up buying one I hope you like it
Hold the indigo till it blinks, then U have after glow for a second more. It’s also hackable that stops the movement, no ticking.
I didn't know that about holding it until it blinks. I'll have to try it out!

Maybe they've changed the movement more recently to a more quiet one 🤔

Great take on the watch!
where can i get strap?
The green strap was the original one that came with the watch. All others came from AliExpress
Jesus Christ Loves Yall ❤️🙏
I like my Timex Expedition much better. Or my Lorus or my Ti/Sapphire Berny.

Too small for an adult. Better for a child or a woman
It's definitely small, but for me it's because it's small that I like it. It doesn't get in the way of any movement I can make with my wrist
Then I suggest you look at Invicta. It can accommodate 60mm watch requirements.
@@duncanidaho2130 better than that ridiculuos timex yes
A woman is an adult.
@@Jesse-od6gl no

Thanks for watching! They are great watches

Probably won't hear it over the sound of the cantina band playing most of the time anyway
Three watch collection...
1. Your favorite diver.
2. Seiko 5 on a leather strap.
3. Timex Weekender with lots of NATO straps.
Hard to argue with that
It's so pretty 🤩, if I have enough money I will definitely buy it💫
I hope you can find one!
Ticking is Timex's selling point if you grew up in the 1970s and watched the endless ads on the toob.
A little before my time

Every 70s kid knows Timex, "takes a licking and keeps on ticking"
