Collecting analogue watches in the era of always-accurate smartphones is a bit of an odd pursuit, but as someone who’s caught the watch collector bug, once you get in, it’s hard to get out. But if you’ve not worn a watch in ages or fancy a change from one of the best smartwatches, how do you know if an analog watch is for you? Enter the Timex Weekender.
At £60 (or less if you shop around), the Timex Weekender is a great entry-level step into the world of watches, in both terms of wearing and collecting. But while Timex isn’t known as a premium brand, there’s a lot more to the Weekender than its price tag belies. I should know as I have one sitting proudly alongside my OMEGA Seamaster Aqua Terra and OMEGA Speedmaster.
