Bright and funky, the Timex weekender comes in 17 different colors so there’s no excuse not to look good. This isn’t your typical smart watch but a younger, more vibrant design that’s very modern in its appearance while still featuring the high-quality of Timex timepieces. The nylon band adds a pop of color which is a pretty unusual quality in a brand-name watch.

This is one of Timex’s cheaper watches and with its smaller face and lack of additional functionality, it’s a pick for someone who only wants the basics. If you’re happy with a watch that stands out for its quirky good looks and performs to immaculate precision, but you’re not worried about any fancy extras, this is the perfect watch for you.

This multifunctional Southview Timex watch is a real gentlemen’s piece with its deep brown leather band and sombre black face. Oozing class and sophistication, this is a watch to wear if you want to show you’ve got impeccable taste. At 41mm it’s the larger side of average, a compatible size for almost every wrist and leaving plenty of room for the three chronograph dials.

While you can’t wear this watch while enjoying a swim, it’s water-resistant to 30m. This means it can survive very brief immersions in water or general splashes. It does have a number of excellent features including a 24hr time, date and day it doesn’t include the much-loved Indiglo. If you plan on using your watch in dimly lit conditions, you’d be better looking for a model which includes the Indiglo backlight.

Timex watches for men come in various styles and this stainless steel timepiece is modern and unfussy. The silver-toned face and band combine in a low-key design that’s not extravagant or flashy. Arabic numerals on a white dial makes it easy to read with just a quick glance which helps as the face is smaller than many others at just 35mm. If you’re not built like the proverbial brick building and instead have a smaller frame, this could be a far more flattering pick.

This watch is splash-proof, scratch-resistant and has the Indiglo backlight, making it an all-round winner for many guys who prefer a bracelet-style metal watch.

If one digital watch wasn’t enough, we’re now bringing you another except this time you’ve got the choice of analog too. That’s right, there’s the option of reading the watch using either the analog face or the digital numbers. This may seem a bit like overkill but it means you’ve got the facilities of a chronograph, including an alarm and timer, combined with the classic styling of analog. You can also set the digital element to a different time zone, useful if you’re working across different coasts, or even internationally.

Available in a range of muted colors, the style is undeniably sophisticated yet robust, with the Timex touch that’s been so popular over the years. Indiglo technology is included in this timepiece, allowing the face to be read easily in the dark.

Part of the Skyline collection, this slimline Timex watch is one of the simplest designs you’ll find anywhere yet also one of the most attractive. There’s an irresistible quality about the minimalist face which bears only two numbers – the 6 and 12 – with the rest of the hour markers using just a basic line. This gives it a retro feel that’s gone full circle and is now very on-trend. Forget about the bling, understated sophistication is the way to go with this little beauty.

With a diameter of 40mm and a thickness of just 6.5mm, this watch is slimmer and more lightweight than many others. This means it particularly suits smaller wrists and frames, allowing it to be worn without looking like a brick strapped onto the arm.

What’s better than one Ironman watch? Two Ironman watches of course – and here’s the second in our list. This is even bigger than the last one: at 45mm it’s a whopper of a watch that will suit the larger guy.

These include a 30-lap memory, alarm, countdown timer, 100-hour chronograph and dual time zones. If that wasn’t quite enough, it’s also water-resistant to 100m so feel free to enjoy a swim or even go snorkeling, but no diving.

For a watch that’s perfect for day or night, take a look at the Briarwood design from Timex. Effortlessly elegant, this wrist piece is far more compatible with a suit or evening wear than on rugged pursuits in the field. That’s not to say it isn’t durable as the stainless steel bracelet is crafted to last while still looking like a high-class accessory.

Available in a range of color combinations, as well as with a leather strap there’s something for every taste. The steel bracelets expand to fit wrists of up to 8 inches offering a comfortable fit during wear.

What’s better than two Ironman watches? Three Ironman watches – and here’s the third! The series of Timex sports watches is such a hit, it’s worth including several from the range including this the Ironman Essential 30.

The Indiglo backlight means you can train in low light conditions while the water-resistance of 100m allows you to swim and snorkel (but not dive) without taking the watch off.

The Highland Timex watch is smaller and slimmer than other Timex designs, offering a smart style that’s ideal good for the office as well as evenings out. An expandable band offers comfort while also looking classy for a timepiece that won’t break the bank.

A date window accompanies Arabic numerals for an easy to read dial, and it’s available in a choice of colors. The watch is water-resistant down to 50m, giving the ability to swim for brief periods but don’t risk snorkeling or diving.

The Woodcrest Drive Timex men’s watch is fairly similar to the previous entry on our list, the Highland Street. It’s another stainless steel band watch with a design that’s elegant and smart. It’s a smidge bigger and there’s a textured inner dial, but there’s not a huge amount of difference in the appearance. Once again the band is expandable, a convenient feature that makes it comfy to wear.

This watch isn’t quite as water-resistant, only offering protection up to 30m. This means while it’s fine for splashes and general wet weather, it’s not recommended for swimming, snorkeling or diving.

Take a step back in time with this spectacular watch from Timex, a classic design which harnesses the very best of retro appeal. Slip this little beaut onto your wrist and you’ll feel strangely drawn to cravats, a top hat and a brass walking cane. Well, perhaps not quite…but this watch certainly embodies the class of a bygone era.

On a more functional note, you’ll get the date, day and 24-hour clock on this timepiece, plus scratch-resistant mineral glass. It’s water-resistant to 30m so it’s survive an accidental soaking but it’s not advisable to take your watch for a proper swim.

Love the look but don’t want to commit to a single color? If this sounds familiar, the Weekender is the best Timex watch for you. The high-quality stitched leather strap is deliberately designed for easy removal, featuring an innovative quick-release mechanism. This leaves you free to fit any other 20mm strap which is either quick-release, slip-thru or traditional. Who said switching up your accessories had to be hard?

The styling is iconic and attractive, and will appeal to those who like the classic, retro vibe. Medium-sized, this watch won’t overwhelm and it’s fitted with smart features including the Indiglo backlight, scratch-resistant glass and water-resistance up to 30m.

Out of all the Timex watches, this isn’t the design for the shy guy. Bold, proud and loud this timepiece has been created to be seen…and of course admired. It is a real thing of beauty with its multifunctional styling, luminous analog hands and black negative display. Silver and black with accents of electric blue, the large 44.2mm face is one of the biggest on this list.

It’s not all about style though, as this watch has real substance too. It offers full chronograph functions including a 24 hour timer, three alarms, a military time mode, a calendar and three time zones. It’s hardwearing and rugged too with a tough resin casing and water-resistance of up to 50m. With a scratch-resistant glass and Indiglo technology, this is the watch for the guy who’s serious about getting active. Of course, you could just rock the look and pretend that you wear it while out on military maneuvers…we won’t tell.

Like some of the other more outdoorsy designs, this Timex men’s watch won’t win any awards for high class and sophistication and would look more than a little out of place teamed with a smart suit. However, for the guy that likes to enjoy the natural world, the rugged design is absolutely perfect.

The hook-and-loop nylon strap is hardwearing and adjustable while the resin casing is more than capable of sustaining a few knocks here and there. The contrast black-and-white face makes is easy to see the time at a glance and in low light, there’s the innovative Indiglo function. At just 38mm it’s smaller than many of the other Timex watches, but the size is far more practical for physical activities.

And last but certainly not least is this classy little chronograph. If you like the functionality of a chronograph but aren’t a fan of fussy, over-complicated designs this watch could just offer the ideal balance. Intended to mimic the architectural simplicity of Bauhaus, Timex have included the practical functions of a chronograph while simultaneously minimizing the unnecessary showiness.

What’s left is a timepiece which offers everything you’d expect from a chronograph in a mid-sized face which isn’t too overbearing. Water-resistant to 30 meters, the all-black design is fitted with the popular Indiglo feature for use in low light. With a perforated leather strap, it’s comfortable on the wrist and we think this is a nifty little number to end on.
