The Weekender's tougher cousin
By Abby Turner, Melbourne ยท
Same basic idea as the Weekender, just a bit beefier: 40 mm wide, 10 mm thick, black dial, date, Indiglo backlight, fabric strap. 50 m water resistance instead of 30, which is a small but welcome bump when it's going to get splashed a lot.
I like the black dial for nights, it's easier on the eyes than a glaring white one when the room's dim. The minute track is busier than the Weekender's, though, with the 24-hour numbers squeezed in, and that makes it a touch slower to read at a glance.
The ticking is loud here too. Swap the strap, ignore the brass case, pay US$50 to $70, and you've got a decent camping and work watch.
