Customer Reviews

Versatile and Great to Look At
First, the minimalist design looks much better in person. I mainly bought this watch to wear at the office, but as it turns out, this Skagen is very versatile. Whether your dressing up or just going out, it works very nicely. So, in terms of looks, I'd give it a 5.

In keeping with the minimalist approach, the list of features is short. The watch is light and the mesh band is comfortable to wear. I have smaller wrists and was delighted to find that the band can be easily adjusted to accomodate many different sizes. Also, the calendar is definately a plus.

But while the minimalist approach pleases the eye during the day, at night, the watch becomes useless. I wish Skagen included some sort of glow-mechanism to illuminate some part of the watch in low light. Nothing. This is my only complaint.

Overall, I love this watch. If I could rate the item a 4.5, I would.

Great watch, but one problem
I recieved this watch as a gift about 5 months ago and I really like it. As a person with hairy arms I was looking for a nice watch that doesnt pull my hair out, which I find incredibly annoying. The titanium mesh band on this watch does a great job of of not catching those hairs. All of the finish and materials have held up well to the daily abuse that I give it.

The only real problem I have with my watch is that it is incredibly loud. In relative silence I can hear it from 6-8 feet away and, if I think about it, I can hear it while watching TV. Although this isnt really a problem for me my girlfriend found it akin to something out of a Edgar Allen Poe story...a relentless ticking that drove her crazy. There is a possibility that its just my watch because its somehow defective.

Started Great...Ended Average
First let me say that I loved this watch. Skagen consistently delivers a product that is elegant and simplistic. The design is something that really can be worn in any setting. Plus, the titanium design makes this watch unbelievable light. Most of the time you don't even know you have it on.

Why then did I take off two stars?

1. Sound: This really is a loud ticking watch. If your hearing isn't so great then it's not really a problem. But I am blessed/cursed with rather good hearing and I had to put the watch on the dresser, across the room, in my valet, under my wallet to keep from hearing it.

2. Crystal: The crystal is the same mineralized material used in most fashion watches and sport watches like Timex. You'd think that would make it a little tougher but not really. It's exacerbated by the fact that the crystal "domes" up instead of laying flat so it's much more likely to crack when you hit it on something. Mine pretty much shattered when I bumped (not slammed mind you) in the wall moving a table.
