Timex Weekender Fairfield Indiglo Quartz TW2P98500 Unisex Watch

It was a foggy wintery morning and as usual, I was out jogging at the Central park, New York at the crack of dawn, about 6 a.m. The park is a pretty safe place to jog and I’ve never had a problem before. However, on this particular day while exiting the park near E79, I was mugged that too by a white man of all people. Probably a drug addict looking to sell anything he could steal.

Fortunately, the $225 watch was the only thing of value on me that day. My driving license was of no use to him. Fresh out of a watch, I needed to buy myself a new watch preferably not too expensive; one that I would not feel the pinch if mugged again.

The local watch shop either had high-end watches or real cheap digital watches which I’m guessing, were aimed at teenagers. A colleague suggested I look online and that is how, a couple of days later, I found myself at the https://www.zetawatches.com/ website browsing brands and wrist watches.

It took me the whole of 5 minutes to find a simple, but large and elegant watch. It was the Timex Weekender Fairfield Indiglo Quartz TW2P98500 Unisex Watch. By “indiglo” (which is a Timex patented technology), they mean glow-in-the-dark.

Most wrist watches I’ve seen, have hands that glow in the dark. Whereas, in the Timex Weekender Fairfield Indiglo Quartz TW2P98500 Unisex Watch, the dial itself glows an amazing blue in the dark. The hands don’t glow but contrast well over the glowing dial face making it easy to read the time in the dark. I found this feature most useful especially while attempting to see the time at 6 in the morning.

The watch was priced at $84 which was well within the $100 budget I had in mind. I bought the watch and it arrived 3 days later. Perfect condition, warranty and all.

The Timex Weekender Fairfield Indiglo Quartz TW2P98500 Unisex Watch is a little shy of an inch-and-a-half in width (37mm to be precise). The case is gold tone and looks elegant. The watch hands look gold plated. There is no date window and I did not mind it at all. In my previous watch I had to set the date at the start of most months besides, I could hardly see the date anyway. So, not having the date was actually a relief of sorts.

The watch has an elegant genuine leather strap and overall, the Timex Weekender Fairfield Indiglo Quartz TW2P98500 Unisex Watch looks pretty cool. The 30-meter water resistance means I didn’t worry about the occasional run in the rain. Also, the mineral crystal would resist scratches.

The Timex Weekender Fairfield Indiglo Quartz TW2P98500 Unisex watch is a nice, bright watch and a single glance either in broad daylight or at night, is more than enough to read the time. And oh, I nearly forgot, I bought the watch from https://www.zetawatches.com/ because they offered a huge discount on it. In fact, they have discounts on all their watch brands. Seems like a good place to buy a nice watch.
