I've always been a fan of Timex, and I especially love the Weekender collection. This is a great looking watch (I got the one with the Black/Gray Stripe band). My only complaint is that I thought the hands were gray like the picture showed. The picture was a bit misleading. The hands were not gray - they had more of a reflective surface, which, in certain lighting, makes it difficult to tell the time in a glance. I'm planning on exchanging it for one with black hands so there's enough contrast with the white background. Great looking watch overall.
