Why does everyone go crazy about the timex weekender? Am I the only person that thinks it looks like a dollar store watch for children?

  Honestly, I really like the design. :) Simple, round, small. With this round steel case, you could even exchange the wristband for a brown lethear one and get a more mature look (all this for only 30 bucks).

Don't take this the wrong way but: That thing doesn't even have a respectable water-resistant rating, I was very exciting when I clicked on that link because I'm in the market for a new watch, but I need something that can take more than a couple drops of water... For comparison: My first two watches lasted 2 years each and costed me ~$10 a pop plus they had a WR rating of 300m. Sadly they looked kinda juvenile and I needed something with a little more status, but I'm leaning on just going back because they really worked!

  Does 30m (99ft) not translate to approx 30 meters/99 foot underwater for watches? If you want a watch to go diving in fair enough, but the way I read that it seems a fair bit more than a couple drops of water?

    so it's strange but that's not quite how it works, Here's a pretty good explainantion of what those numbers actually mean: http://deloachwatchservice.com/other_stuff/water_resistancy.htm http://deloachwatchservice.com/other_stuff/water_resistancy....

      Wow, thanks for that! I'm in the market too so I'll definitely bear that in mind. Bizarre that they advertise them numbers without such an explanation.

  I think all depends on your usage... I personally never bath with a watch on and never go swimming with this particular watch (I have another one that I use mainly for outdoor activities. A Casio rated to 100 meters). I really dig watches, and when you start to collect some of them you actually find it's quite fun to chose the right one for the right ocasion! :)
