sleek and elegant design
br /the picture doesn't do it justice, the stainless steel is highly polished and the mother of pearl face gives off beautiful colors in changing lighting.
br /the band is comfortable, easily adjusted and the clasp is very sturdy.
br /the crystal is very clear and the face is easy to read, there is no second hand though, if that concerns you.
br /it's very thin and light weight as far as size, a nickel perfectly covers the crystal and a quarter will cover the entire body including the knob, so if you put a nickel on top of a quarter you can get an idea of the size and the thickness of the entire watch.

This is the third Skagen watch I've owned. I wear my watch as my only piece of "jewelry" at work, this is often workplace requirement for me, yet no matter how grubby I feel and look, the Skagen watch is elegant and makes me feel attractive, without being flashy. Mother of pearl face is subtle, doesn't show up well in this photo, but is very pretty.
br /
br /The mesh wristband is great. It doesn't ever get sweaty and sticky on my skin like leather watch bands.
br /
br /I wish this model had a second hand. Also, be careful about getting the watch wet. Like most "water resistant" watches, it is okay to get a splash of water or rain on it, but I wouldn't recommend submerging it in water. This is not a real "heavy duty" watch, serves my purposes in helthcare, but would be careful about wearing it while doing any intense outdooer work. Wristband adjustment can be a little tough. Could be my problem, and I prefer adjusting myself instead of taking it to a jeweler to get links removed!
br /
br /Amazon selection and prices for Skagen's are excellent, superior to the big department stores.

This is my fifth Skagen watch. (I wear all of them on different occasions.) I love the clean Danish design and the comfort and durability of all of my Skagen watches. I bought this one because I can read the time more easily than on my small dress watch and more exactly than on my watches without 12 hour-markers. Skagen makes women's watches with large dials and others with very small ones. There aren't many in between. This one is small enough to look good on my small wrist but large enough to read easily. And did I say I love the combination of the silver hands and markers with the glimmery mother-of-pearl face? Very classy and elegant.

The watch is very attractive and was a big hit with my wife at Christmas. She often give a watch hard wear in her work, so the stainless steel and tough construction is appealing to her. I did some comparison shopping before the purchase and decided this product was good value for the money.

I noticed this watch on a colleague's wrist and loved it. The mesh band is simple enough for work/weekend, but dressy enough for evening events. The mother of pearl face is very attractive and has a chameleon like quality. The watch is extremely light weight and comfortable to wear. Amazon has an amazing price on this style and the shipping was very quick. If you want a high quality attractive watch without spending hundreds of dollars I recommend both Skagen and Amazon.
Wife loves it.

Bought this watch for my wife for Christmas. She was looking for a Skagen as they look really classy and expensive and are really quite affordable. People think they are much more expensive than they really are. I showed my wife pix from Amazon for her to pick one as she is quite particular about what she wants. Got this one as it was exactly what she wanted. Has numbers and a white face. Nice stainless steel mesh band. My wife is very happy. FYI, these watches cost literally more than twice as much at Macy's and cost less here than similar ones at Costco, which is also a good bet to buy from but usualy ony carry one or two styles. But Amazon's selection was the best, by far, seriously, of anybody's.

br /I love Amazon as they always ship quicker than they say they will. Maybe it's because we're in LA and I think they have a facility here. But nonetheless it's great that they beat their own time frame. (I am not a stooge for Amazon, just a satisfied customer).

This Skagen watch is attractive as well as functional. The band is adjustable so it fits various wrist sizes - particularly nice if you have a small wrist. Easy to set - works well.

I have worn a Skagen watch for years. I love their clean looks and reliability. My husband I sail and I even wore it on the boat. My most recent one was 10 years old and keeping perfect time. I only had to replace it because I ruined it (had battery changed at new place two weeks later the back popped off when dropped lost parts) and would have had to spend almost as much as a new one costs to fix it. I am pleased to find they haven't changed that much and look forward to wearing this new one for many years to come.

I love Skagen watches and have worn them for 8 years.
br /But on this specific model the face covering broke within two months of wearing it (not everyday either). I am bummed, my skagen's usually last much longer.

I purchased this beautiful watch as a gift for my sister's 40th birthday. She was absolutely over the moon and has received many compliments when she has been wearing it. I have one critiscism and that is - that it was not clearly pointed out that you do have to pay duty on the goods and therefore I was quite surprised to receive an invoice a couple of weeks later, so that bumped up the price of my special bargain.

My wife loves the watch! I chose this watch because it is water resistance, looks beautiful and is easy to read. The clasp is quite sturdy once fastened, however, when my wife removes her watch, the clasp needs to be re-adjusted. I did a lot of comparison of watches and found Amazon to have the best bottom line price by far. I chose the free shipping option and still received the watch sooner than expected. All in all, a great shopping experience!

I bought this as a Christmas present for my wife. The watch is very high quality, and the stainless steel is just beautiful. The mother-of-pearl inlay is very nice and not over done. This watch just looks classy and goes well with both work or casual clothes. For point of reference, the watch face is about the size of a US Quarter.
br /
br /The watch is surprisingly light and the band very flexible. The watch band is highly adjustable, and does not involve removing any loops of the band since the band is a steel weave. Instead, there is an small lever built into the fastener and small ribs in the watch band. To adjust the band all that is required is to loosen the lever, move the latch to the right location and then tighten it down again. You'll need a small screwdriver to do this as it cinches tightly onto the band.

br /I wanted to get my wife a watch that was quite nice,had a high build quality, but one that was not extremely expensive. This Skagen watch gets 5 stars on all three of those criteria. We both love it.

I bought this watch to wear on my vacation to Guatemala. I wanted something inexpensive in case it was stolen. The first day I wore it I was out jogging and it broke and fell off my arm scratching the crystal. One of the pins attaching the band to the watch had fallen out. I took it to a local watch repairman and he fixed it. On my first day in Guatemala the watch fell apart again and my husband lost the pin while trying to fix it. I have other Skagen watches that are designed differently. If you look at how this one is put together it seems that it is designed to fall apart.
Not quite what it says on the tin.

I bought this for my mum who had one just like it until my sister lost it. However when my mum bought hers, there were two Women's models, that looked exactly the same except one had a larger watch face than the other. I looked around like mad to find the one with the bigger dimensions, and found it here. However when I finaly got it, it ended up being the smaller one. We have surrendered, and have lost all hope of finding the larger Women's watch and have stuck with it.
