It would be hard to find a classier watch. A few things to consider, though, before buying. The picture of the watch sold for $58.99 by Watchsavings on Amazon is not quite accurate. That picture appears to show black hands and markings and a black ring around the watch face. The one I received (which is still beautiful) is gold accents only, no black at all. [Note: the other pages offering this same model watch by other sellers for higher prices DO depict the watch accurately.] If this is what you want, great. If you're getting far-sighted with the passage of years, though, the reduced contrast between gold and the white face will have you peering momentarily to read the hands. Not a major gripe, but some may be bothered more than I. Also, don't overlook that it has no second hand. Having said all this, I still think it's a gorgeous watch and it's my second Skagen. Will probably get more.

Very pleased. This watch is stylish, moderately dressy, looks more expensive than it is. Very lightweight and mesh band is soft and comfortable, easy to forget you have it on. Quite thin at 5 mm, adding to the tastefulness. One reviewer of the mesh bracelet said it snags; I don't find that at all. Watch case is polished steel, not brushed; it might scratch/dull unevenly over time but that's hard to predict. Not a lot of contrast between face background (a kind of oyster-white) and the goldtone stick time markers on the face, so buyers with poor eyesight should be aware of that. No second hand, but it's a dress watch. Overall, very impressive for the money.

A real nice watch for a great price. Very slim and looks great for those of us with narrow wrists. The Skagen design is very classy. This same watch costs 50% more at some stores at the mall, and that was on sale.

I'm not surprised to see that most of the positive reviews here are from fairly new owners of this watch. I bought mine at a retail store and really loved it for the first 6 months until the movement died and I had to send it back to Skagen for coverage under the warranty. After they sent me a new watch (more about that later), it lasted another 8 mos until I thought the battery died. It turns out that the movement broke on the replacement watch as well. I'm not even going to try and send it back again. It's a shame because it really is a nice looking watch, it just doesn't last. In addition to the movement problems, my one year-old bent the band back and kinked the mesh, breaking several wires on the side which I found myself always struggling to keep from snagging my shirts.

br /Now to the "warranty repair": I sent the first watch to the official Skagen's North America repair center per the directions on the warranty card. After a month began calling and left 6 messages with their service dept. over a period of 4 weeks attempting to check on the status of the repair. I finally talked to someone through their sales staff who took my info. Fortunately I got a manager's name and after two weeks and sending them proof of delivery from DHL twice, got them to admit that they lost my watch. Three weeks later I received a replacement. Now you see why I don't want to go through this again.
br /
br /In summary, it's a nice watch, especially for the low price here at Amazon. It just doesn't last.

I like a THIN watch, and THIS IS THIN! Very clean, simple design. The clasp, while maybe not the greatest quality, is quite satisfactory, and has an extra safety clip that gives a secure feeling. I've only had this watch 3 weeks, but I've gotten compliments on it. It's worked fine so far.

This Skagen Men's watch is as practical as it is strikingly beautiful. I have owned it now for several weeks and it keeps perfect time. The ultra-slim profile causes the watch to fit beneath the cuff without any bulge at all, making it suitable for formal events. Water and shock resistant, it really is a great watch.

I have bought the same watch for many relatives and everyone has loved it. It is sleek and beautiful.

Had been looking for this watch for over one year. Went online and there it was. Amazon was great and received watch in three business days. Will do business again and would highly recommend.

I looked at a number of watches, and this one was the best in terms of looks and value for dollar. I am very happy with it. I also liked the band, but find I have a difficult time occasionally getting it undone.

This watch is a very thin, spectacular looking watch that looks like it should sell for $5,000.00. The best of all the Skagen models. You won't be disappointed with this watch!

I bought this as a gift. The recipient is very happy with the Skagen watch. I admit the price is incredible, but the looks are really sharp. A very stylish piece. Both of us are very pleased. You will not be disappointed.

I have three Skagen watches. They are beautiful. However here are the issues I have with them:
br /
br /Most importantly, everything about this watch is propriatery. Changing batteries is a pain as you can't find them locally and it costs $14.95. Bands are $34.95. Also you better keep your sales receipt even though they have lifetime warranty.
br /
br /I sent in my replacement band and battery with payment for two watches in July and they cashed the check and didn't receive anything until January. I called them and they promised to send a free battery, but when I received the items finally in March, no battery was included (let alone a free one).
br /
br /Other issues:
br /
br /a) Wire mesh bands: The clasp is not always tight and over time will slide and get a little loose. Also the titanium mesh is made of tiny small circles of metal interlocked and if one of them gets open (say you hit something), it starts unraveling slowly but surely.
br /
br /b) Leather band: The one I have fell apart so quickly it is surprising. It also started smelling bad due to sweat (I do not sweat that much and I owned other watches with leather bands). This seems to be a very bad quality.
br /
br /c) Water - my watch started fogging after 2 years of light usage.
br /
br /I will NOT buy another Skagen watch. Their customer service and business practices are shady. They are great watches when they work.
br /
br /I am now an owner of a Citizen watch.

My wife bought me this watch 2 years ago. I have enjoyed the sleek fit and comfort, but have had nothing but problems with the band. I must admit, I am probably pretty hard on my watches, but I have had to replace the band 3 times now (at $25 a pop). What happens is if you kink the band in any way, the wires that make them up will start to fail leaving you with sharp edges that catch on your shirts, and anyone within arm shot of you. I have not been able to find another band that will fit this watch. Too bad because it really is a nice looking piece.

The watch was a favorite of mine for a number of years. Lightweight, adjustable and breathable wristband; very slim. BUT, after the battery was replaced, the seal failed and the watch died. I ordered a replacement through Amazon at a very low price. The crystal cracked when bumped. Same thing on the second replacement. Toughen the glass, please.

I've had the original that is silver on white for several years. For an inexpensive watch this is something out of the ordinary. It's a worker, a laster, and a happener!

I bought this watch after my previous watch strap was broken and I was not disappointed at all. This watch is beautiful enough, cheap, the clasp location is easy to set and the watch works ! Finally the delivery was fast (a few days). Definitely a good purchase !

I ordered a Skagen watch for myself and liked it so much (quality, appearance, price) that I ordered one for my husband. He was also pleased. It's a good deal.

Very good watch. This is the type of watches i like. I like flat and thin dial watches.The belt look is what i like the most.

I bought this to replace my last Skagen watch when I broke the crystal. I have had this same model Skagen watch for 10 years. The beauty of this watch is in its simplicity of design. It is extremely thin, lite and comfortable to wear.
br /
br /Big bulky flashy watches are for people who are trying to show off their jewelry as a status symbol. But this watch gets more attention by being unique, slim and comfortable and with simple beauty that is appreciated by anyone.
br /
br /I always get compliments on this watch. I was in the hospital for an outpatient procedure last year. I was laying on the table when one of the nurses notice my Skagen watch. The entire operating room had to come over and admire it while I lay there half naked. Thank goodness the watch was there to avert their attention.
br /
br /I love my Skagen and I won't consider anything else.

My Slim Swatch ran out of batteries and I decided to buy a new watch. I've never liked big watches and this one looked very thin, light and elegant. I didn't have high expectations when I bought it, but once I opened the little box it comes in, I fell in love with it. I get equal or more complimients from people about my Skagen than my Swatch. The Stainless steel strap is awesome and it can be adjusted so easily that there is no need to cut it like other watches. The watch came with the local time set already, that was amazing.

Impressive piece for the money. Really nice looking watch! Gave it to my brother for his birthday and he loved it. Would definitely purchase again! Very quick shipping too!

Folllowing the style of Skagen's other ultra slim line titanium mesh watches, this watch is a winner all the way. The finish is high polish metal on the watch and mesh band. The face is a pearly white, looking much more striking in real life than in the photo.
br /The overall look is very classy and expensive looking. Very slim and light on the wrist, this watch is a very dressy accessory.
br /Highly recommended.
