When looking for an EDC watch, the Timex Weekender is inevitably mentioned and recommended, and for good reason. It's extremely affordable, has fantastic readability with its Indiglo lume, and comes with a classic military face design and your choice of dozens of color combinations. This new black on black colorway features yellow hour markers and a black leather band, a step up from the standard nylon strap and perfect for complementing your darker weekend wear. The Weekender will always be a good investment due to its extremely sensible and timeless design, and it's a great thing Timex never rests on their laurels and constantly improves and expands the Weekender family of straps and colors. With dozens of combinations in the market, matching your watch to your tie, socks, or outfit has never been easier.

Best budget EDC watch anyone can own! I had to seek out leather bands for my Weekenders...straight from the source is even better.

I really liked the looks of the Weekender, but they truly can't even survive showering. I now have a Timex Expedition on a NATO strap as my go to weekend/housework watch. Great deal, Indiglo is super useful.
