The good thing is that I pretty much just wear the watch and don’t have to fiddle with it so I rarely “experience” the cheap feel. It also features 20-millimeter lugs, but the bracelet tapers gracefully to 16 millimeters at the clasp. Why 1/20ths of a second is necessary on this particular chronograph I am not sure, as I would prefer an hour counter instead.

The case back is stainless steel, which is good, since it is in direct contact with the skin and needs to have the corrosion resistance that stainless steel provides. I see the hands moving when I press the button to reset everything, but not all of the hands go to the proper starting position. The markings on the face are sharp, and even under significant zoom from my 90mm macro lens I can’t find any imperfections. Lots of glass makes the watch appear true-to-size, while a bezel shrinks the dial and makes the watch appear smaller. Also, the case is relatively thick and features a 20-millimeter lug width, helping to shrink the Intra-Matic apparent size.The Weekender comes in a variety of designs, sizes, and colors but the most alluring one is the classic leather strap (especially genuine leather strap) or NATO strap with the clean face. As a racing fan and long-time collector, Dan Henry designs these watches with the horological enthusiast in mind. it was nothing compared to my old plastic-cased Timex Camper loudly ticking away the moments that make up a dull day.

If you’re considering affordability to be the primary factor when choosing a chronograph for a small wrist, the Timex Weekender Chronograph will reign supreme. The information does not usually directly identify you, but it can give you a more personalised web experience.

Pilots using chronographs to time flights, make fuel calculations, and other plane-related tasks needed large dials they could reference quickly. Such is the case with many of my watches that I intend to circle back to and provide updates and pictures in the future. This model features a slide rule bezel which helps to shrink the apparent case size while also calculating speed, fuel usage, and even tip calculation for taking care of the wait staff (though each requires a true understanding of how to use a slide rule). Without hesitation, I can definitely assure you that it is durable enough to amaze you and exceed your expectation.

It doesn’t try to pretend to be something it isn’t, and instead just does a good job of being what it is.

But surprisingly till now, it has been able to keep up with my rough use with just having some minor scratch in it. I don’t know enough about the pin lever escapement to say with any certainty, but I suspect they use harder materials for durability and the loudness is a by product.
