Time is money. And today, we’re going to help you save on both. We’ve rounded up the best Citizen and Timex watches for everyday carry currently at a deep discount for today only. These two brands are EDC staples, with many models in their catalog watches we’ve recommended in the past, so now’s the perfect time to step up your watch game. With options ranging from military watches to casual timepieces to the perfect accessory for formal wear, you’re bound to find something that fits your style and your everyday carry needs.
Timex Weekender
The Weekender line is one of Timex’s most popular for a reason. They’re inexpensive, come in nearly every possible color combination, and work well for both semi-formal and casual wear (for the weekends, hence the name). The minimalist design is easy to read at a glance and the slip-through strap lets you customize the Weekender to match your EDC.
Citizen Eco-Drive Avion
This aviator-style Eco-Drive timepiece from Citizen has all the looks and rugged appeal of a casual weekend adventure watch. It features a beefy 45mm stainless steel case that showcases a cascading triple-dial face with indices for minutes and 12/24 hour markings. With added features like a date window, luminous details, and hi-vis second and hour hands, it’s both a stylish and functional approach to the usual aviator design, without even mentioning Citizen’s popular Eco-Drive mechanism. A leather strap completes the look, making this Eco-Drive a perfect pairing for both casual and outdoor outfits.
Timex Expedition Scout
The Expedition Scout is an affordable watch from Timex, packing many of the same features as the popular Weekender series but with a more military-inspirerd design. The tan face and brushed gunmetal case gives the watch an understated, but functional look, with a genuine leather strap giving it style, comfort, and a personalized patina with extended use. You also get 50 meters of water resistance, Indiglo night lighting, a date wheel, and large, easy to read indices to round out its features.
Citizen Eco-Drive Casual Watch
Citizen’s favorite energy saving watch tech is again front and center with this pick, this time housed in a stylish black and silver ensemble that fits right at home in formal social events. A 42mm stainless steel case gives plenty of room for its minimalist white dial, featuring contrasting blue hands and two subdials that take the place of the usual day and date window. A synthetic leather band with crocodile pattern and buckle closure puts the finishing touches on the watch.
Timex Weekender Chronograph
With its great value, solid design, and impressive array of color combinations, the Timex Weekender has cemented its place as an EDC favorite. With the Weekender Chronograph, Timex takes their flagship for a spin with an oversized face sporting the three-dial chrono design. The Weekender feature favorites are still present, including analog quartz movement, an interchangeable Nato-style strap, and high-visibility Indiglo lume, with a date window rounding out its dial’s features. It’s hard to go wrong with the original Weekender, but the Chronograph lets your watch go that extra mile.
Citizen Eco-Drive Military
With a high-contrast face and casual, yet rugged leather strap, the Citizen Military watch is the perfect addition to any weekend adventure EDC. But don’t let the minimalist design fool you—within the 42mm stainless steel case lies a readable face, day and date window, and 100 meters of water resistance. And the best part: its Eco-Drive movement charges the watch from simply wearing it, making it a great everyday watch you never have to worry about.
Timex Expedition Scout 43
Similar to the Timex Expedition Scout above, the Scout 43 gets a bit bigger at 43mm and a bit stealthier with a darker colorway for its strap and dial. It features contrast stitching to match its luminous indices and hands, punctuated with a bright red second hand for easy at-a-glance timekeeping. You still get 50 meters of water resistance, Indiglo night lighting, and date wheel, all wrapped up in a larger case for better legibility for bigger wrists.
