BluShark's Top 10 Affordables: #8 Timex Weekender

The ubiquitous Timex Weekender can be had by just about any man. The consummate beater retails for around $25 and can be purchased at just about any department store. It won’t have the build quality of a more expensive watch, but for the price, it’s just fine. The biggest complaint you’ll (literally) hear is the excessively loud ticking of the seconds hand. The sound is a bit too much for my taste, but any list of great affordables would be remiss without the Timex Weekender.

Pros

• Well-built and durable considering its price point
• A perfect beater
• Functional and most styles are versatile

Cons

• Not particularly interesting
• Window-rattling ticking noise
