Got this watch as a dress watch based on my wife's recommendation. I have worn Casio G shock watches for the past 20+ years and had no reason for a nice watch. Now I need one and wanted something plain. This watch fit the bill. Light, thin, comfortable and the classic, simple look I wanted.

The watch arrived from Amazon with a dead battery. Luckily, Amazon includes that wonderful note with the watch that tells you your brand new watch might show up with a dead battery and that this can easily be solved by replacing the dead battery. Huh? Good thing my car didn't come with a note like that.

The other issues is the band. It looked a lot nicer in the pictures. Although it is leather, it looks like plastic.

This is a great casual watch. Unless you can find a nicer band, it isn't very dressy.

I have purchased three Skagen watches including 2 of these leather watches and one Chronograph. All three have broken crystals within the first month. The chronograph shattered when I set it down. It was not even dropped. The style of these watches is the reason I purchased them but I should have know that you give up quality for a low price. I now have one working watch out of the three. Look somewhere else.

I have owned a similar Skagen watch for four years or so. Like other comments, the crystal cracked after less than a month, but I had it replaced at a watch repair place and never had a problem again. This watch looks and feels great, but there were two problems with the watch I owned. First, the watch band is only replaceable by ordering from Skagen directly for about $35. I've always gone to Target or Wal Mart to buy new leather watchbands, but this style is very unusual, and what is really annoying is that you can't get it from a Skagen retailer or find a knockoff anywhere. I replaced the band about two years ago by printing out and mailing back an order form to Skagen--no Internet ordering. What a pain! Next, the watch stopped every month or so. At first, I thought it was the battery, but my watch repair place said the battery was fine. By pulling out and pushing back in the stem, the darn thing would start again and be fine for another month.

This month, both the watchband and battery needed to be replaced, so I tossed it in the trash and am looking for a similar watch in another brand. I love how the Skagens look, but I'm very disheartened about their reliability.

I liked these watch and purchased it for my husband and He loves is is so much ....very stylish thin and very beautiful watch

Once I compared the prices of the Skagen watches on Amazon.com to those of retailers, I no loger shop retail stores for this or similar products. I love the look of the watches and I am plan to use Amazon.com for any and all of my time piece needs.

Great look, slim contemporary design. I've gotten lots of postive comments on the watch. Cost is very reasonable. It was half the price on Amazon compared to prices in retail stores.

As a casual/dress watch, the slim profile of the man's watch can't be beat. The case and watch face are classic and stylish. The black leather band could be improved upon. It's stiff and a bit thin. Still a great value, that gets much compliments from both men and women! Glad I bought it to add to my collection.

Great watch for an architect. The very slimm design and good quality of the details are what U'll get with this watch.
I'm only sorry I didn't buy one with metal instead of leather. Maybe titan instead of steel.
Next time :)
And... Skagen... I never heard before about "skagen", but... great and nice surprise.

This is the second one I've bought from Amazon in the past couple of years. I like every aspect of the watch, but was disappointed when the metal ring around the second hand fell out onto the face and got in the way of the minute hand. Nevertheless, instead of getting that watch repaired, for about the same price I bought a second watch, which I hope will last longer.

this watch is a classy, sleek, beautiful alternative to over priced luxury watches. it goes well with casual and formal outfits. i love this watch.
