I am a watch fanatic and tend to do a lot of research on a watch before actually buying it. I have heard nothing but good things about Skagen from the first time I heard about them. The only negative comments I have heard were generally from people who got lemons or were just being overly picky.
br /This watch is better than I thought. The picture doesn't do it justice. It is extremely light, thin and looks great! It's so light that you might forget you have it on. Now, I wanted a Skagen with the date function so I was pleased when I found this watch. The date is right above the 6; my only problem is it's a little small but its really no big deal. I really wasn't sure about the metal mesh band, but I love it, it feels and looks great. The quality over all of the watch is very good. The band is easy to adjust, I just recommend you read the instructions first. It's very easy to adjust, just not obvious if you have never used this kind of band before. I would highly recommend getting this watch whether you're a fan of Skagen or this is your first one. I definitely intend to get another Skagen soon.

I purchased this watch to replace a Casio that I had for a couple of years. My main objective was to find a lightweight watch that was comfortable and thin. This watch met all my expectations. The watch crystal is very thin and does not stick out like the Casio did (I was always scraping it against something, walls etc.) The Numbers are large and easy to read at a glance. Some of the other watches only had hour marks (not as easy to read). It also had military marks and numbers which are handy. It was easy to set time and date. The date window is a little small and you have to look closely to read the date. I had no trouble adjusting the band to fit. Band wraps underneath and will fit small wrist. The mesh band does not pull hair on your arm as some do. Waterproof is a plus. All around pleased though I have had it only a few weeks. Watch is very sleek and looks nice in brushed stainless. Purchased at Amazon for less than $60.00 on sale with free shipping.

This is my 2nd slimline watch. Feels like your not even wearng a watch
br /One big problem is the mesh band. If your like me, who works with your hands the band easily gets caught and bends. Once bent the metal fibers stick out on the edge and can not be worn. Get this watch with the leather band only

I have over 5 skagen watches and this one is my favorite now. The white background makes it much easier to read in lower light.

I was happy upon receiving this watch, although I felt it was less comfortable than my first Skagen, "Skagen Men's Slim Brown Leather Watch #433LSL1", and had a slightly less slim appearance.
br /The leather band on my old watch stretched considerably over the 2 years I owned it, and I felt that I could never get a proper fit. The band ended up breaking, at which time it fell off my wrist and cracked the face.
br /Having loved the watch despite its shortcomings, I decided to get this watch.
br /After about a month of wearing the new watch, I am more than satisfied. The metal band is very strong, and shapes itself to your wrist slightly, turning out to be very comfortable. The clasp mecanism is the best I've ever had on a watch. As others have noted, the date is small, but this hasn't been a problem for me.
br /This is a great watch, simple, classy, easy to forget that you're wearing, and well priced for the quality.

Even though this is an inexpensive watch, it frequently is noticed by others. I get many complements about the watch. The mesh wristband is very nice, almost fabric-like. The watch is very light and comfortable to wear. Well worth the price and then some. I highly recommend this watch to anyone who wants a stylish thin wristwatch.

A "Classy" looking watch that is Thin and very nice at a great price on Amazon. I put-off buying a watch for a long time and I am glad a researched the Skagen brand that is so thin and I feel comfortable with on my small wrist. The only slight CON is that the Date window is very very small and hard to see with my poor vision. I Highly recommend this watch!

very happy with purchase experiance . I received my watch in a few days and it was exactly as advertised. I look forward to my next purchase.

I like this watch because of its classic modern design, light weight, and handsome band, which with practice is easy to use.

Beautiful watch, my stepson loves it. He's 14, and says the mesh band is what he likes the best.

The Skagen is pretty to look at but not so comfortable to wear and the time is difficult to read because the numbers hands are not distinctive.

The watch is beautiful but the date display is way too small, I'd say the font size is 1 or 2 at the max.

br /Looks good but returned it

GREAT WATCH FOR A GREAT PRICE. BAND WAS EASY TO ADJUST AND FIT PERFECTLY. STAINLESS STEEL BAND WAS VERY COMFORTABLE AND DIDN'T PULL ANY HAIRS WHILE PUTTING IT ON OR TAKING IT OFF. I HAVE GOTTEN LOTS OF COMPLIMENTS DUE TO ITS MODERN APPEARANCE AND THINNESS. I RECEIVED THE WATCH IN A TIMELY FASHION. COULDN'T ASK FOR BETTER SERVICE. THE WATCH ALSO KEEPS GREAT TIME.
