I did a lot of searching for a new watch. My last trip to PDX demolished my previous watch. Not from all the shenanigans that went down… but by TSA. I put my watch into the small dish that holds rings, change, watches, etc. and it came out cracked! I had no time to fight The Man so I accepted my fate and pushed on to my gate.
With that said I contemplated picking up a more expensive watch but couldn’t justify the cost nor did I really want a high dollar watch. What I wanted was a tried and true, classic, functional, and industrious watch that fit my lifestyle. As I’m scratching my head thinking of all the companies we’ve come across the thought hit me… TIMEX!! Looked at the TIMEX site and it took me 5 seconds to decide on picking up the TIMEX Weekender (Editors Note: The name also reminded me of Fairdale’s Weekender and I had an immediate day dream of cruising gravel roads on the FaTRoB, wind in my face, and heading to a campsite).
I love the TIMEX Weekender for several reasons. The low cost. The clean design. The durability. The name. (FOLLY Fun Fact Time: I served 6 years in the Air Force and my TIMEX time piece stayed with me every step of the way).
Go check out TIMEX! Perfect time piece to take on those summer bikepacking trips you have planned out; and if you demolish your TIMEX Weekender you most likely will be able to replace it as soon as you come back from exploring the unridden.
