[Timex] Weekender vs Southview

I am looking to buy a pretty cheap watch and was at the start looking into "fashion brands" before stumbling upon this subreddit. I got hesitant to buy a cheap watch but after hearing quite a bit of praise for the timex brand i was about to pull the trigger on the weekender.

However after reading about the very high ticking noise i realiesed that this watch probably is not for me. I do really like the design though and found their new line of Southview watches. There is one watch very similar to the weekender i was interested in and i like its design.

My question is if anyone is familiar with this watch and if the loud ticking noise is a problem with this model as well?

It's very likely that both watches use the same movement.

I'd also suggest the you may well be able to try both on at a nearby store (department or otherwise). The ticking may not be as loud as you're worried.

I own 3 timex watches. A weekender fairfield, a weekender chrono and a highstreet.

They make noise, all of them. Specially the Fairfield. In a silent room, you can hear the ticking, But I don't find them as annoying as others do.

For the price, i believe they are absolutely worth it.
