Amazon.com Product Description
A great match to your contemporary business couture, this Skagen titanium men's watch features a thin profile that's just 9mm thick (0.35 inches) and feather-light weight. The case and bracelet are made from solid titanium, which is nearly 50 percent lighter than steel, but 30 percent stronger. It's also particularly resistant to salt water corrosion, as well as hypo-allergenic--perfect for those with metal allergies. The black dial face offers three subdials--day of the week, date, and second time zone--as well as super luminous stick markers and hands (with seconds hand), and small minute indexes. Other features include Japanese quartz movement, a scratch-resistant super-hardened mineral crystal, and water resistance to 100 meters (330 feet)--offering protection from accidental splashes as well suitable for swimming, snorkeling, and light recreational diving.

About Skagen Named after a fishing hamlet in Denmark on the northern tip of the Jutland peninsula, Skagen Designs was founded by Henrik and Charlotte Jorst in 1991 after the two Copenhagen natives moved to New York City. The company subscribes to the principle that beautifully designed, high-quality objects can be created at reasonable prices. Skagen watches represent the technical excellence, refined design and operational simplicity that have created the unique reputation of Danish design.

The fishing village of Skagen--the Skaw--lies where the northern-most tip of the Danish peninsula known as Jutland bends East and breaks the surging waters of the Kattegat and Skagerak seas. The spectacular natural beauty of the area is compellingly beautiful, and its white sandy beaches have been visited by artists for centuries.

Customer Reviews

Better than I hoped, but not perfect
Love the watch, love the look but I had hoped it would be a little more durable. I bought it because of what I read about titanium not looking scratched very easily, but the band looks just as scratched as all my other watches - maybe even faster. However on the bright side, the face has been much more scratch resistant.

All in all a nicely designed watch, wears nicely, looks nice, accurate. No real complaints just not as durable as I had been lead to believe it would be from various reviews I read.

Poor Craftsmanship, worse repair service.
I purchased my Skagen Designs LTD. titanium, multifunction, analog, watch during our family vacation, July 30, 2009. One week after we returned from our vacation, August 8, 2009, the 4:00 indicator or marker fell off inside the watch. I called Skagen and they indicated that the watch would have to be shipped to their Reno, NV office at my expense. I shipped the watch back to them via FedEx on August 11, 2009. The watch was repaired and the packing slip/requested ship date was August 18, 2009.
I received the watch August 27, 2009. I wore it for one week when the 4:00 indicator fell off inside the watch, again, September 3. 2009. I called the Repair Supervisor in the Skagen repair department to discuss the issue. I asked that the watch be replaced and not repaired. They told me that replacement was not possible because the watch had been discontinued. The only option was to return the watch to Reno, NV for repair, again. I expressed that I did not have confidence in the Skagen repair department to adequately repair the watch. He assured me that when the watch arrived he would oversee the repair personally. It would be kept and observed after the repair to verify, then returned. I asked about shipping reimbursement and they indicated that Skagen could take care of that for me.
I wore the watch for a while because I had not yet had the opportunity to enjoy the memento of our special family vacation. I shipped the watch back, with shipping cost information for reimbursement, to their Reno, NV office via FedEx on October 9, 2009. The watch was shipped back and the packing slip/requested ship date was October 19, 2009. I received the watch October 28, 2009. When the package was opened I found the watch with the 4:00 indicator wedged tightly against the 2:00 indicator and not where it is supposed to be, similar to the way it was when I shipped it for repair. No shipping reimbursement.

I highly recommend not purchasing Skagen watch products.

Sincerely,

Steve Lindsey

Great Watch
What I've been looking for since my old Seiko broke, thin, light,good looking, and keeps excellent time.All the new affordable watches I looked at or purchased are to big and to heavy, it felt as though I was wearing a Volkswagen on my wrist. The Skagen was a great find at a great price on Amazon, the cost for the same watch was double at my local Dillard's.
