Disclosure: We received a Timex watch to facilitate our review. All opinions are our own.
Despite the number of fitness trackers and wearables arriving on the market daily, for me, nothing can replace the look, and feel, an actual watch. A staple accessory for me since I was a girl, I will always sport a classic timepiece on my wrist even though I know I can check the time on my cell phone.
The Timex Weekender Fairfield, with its beautiful face available in super-slim Rose Gold (my favorite!), Gold, and Silver, and lightweight nylon band, looks like it was designed for summer. The stylish, classic face pairs well with bracelets and other jewelry, and the lightweight nylon band gives the accessory an almost nautical feel, reminiscent of yacht club wear.

The Weekender Fairfield can easily be dressed up, or down, and I appreciate the ability to interchange watch straps, allowing me to accessorize the band based on my outfit. I always find leather and metal straps bulky and sticky in the summer anyway.
A small push on the handle activates the Indiglo night light, perfect for checking the time on long walks after dark, and feel free to take this watch to the beach – it’s water resistant up to 30 feet!
Ranging from $59.95 to $69.95, these watches make an excellent Mother’s Day gift for the special women in your life, or an ideal graduation present. For more information, visit www.timex.com.
