5.0 out of 5 stars
Functional Elegance, February 22, 2006
This review is from: Skagen Men's 105LTX Titanium Grey Dial Watch (Watch)
Wife and I were out shopping for a watch for her one day when she coaxed me into looking at the men's watches, even though I told her I had decided there weren't any men's watches out there in the world that appealed to me, having seen my fill of big "boat anchor" watches and many others that were just plain boring. Then lo and behold, my eyes were drawn to this Skagen. At last, I had found a sleek watch with classic styling that didn't cost a fortune, and that you don't see everywhere! I was excited. And you know what? After three years, I still love it! It still looks great (it shrugs off hard knocks very well), keeps fantastic time, and draws the occasional compliment to boot! I couldn't have asked for more from a watch.

Great design..but quality is terrible, April 14, 2006
This review is from: Skagen Men's 105LTX Titanium Grey Dial Watch (Watch)
First thing you'll notice about this watch is its incredible weight. It's super light compared to those big clunky stainless steel watches. I had this watch for over 5 years, and I got scratches on the crystal from normal use. So don't expect this thing to be completely scratch resistant.
Well the low ratings has to due with the poor service and build quality. The "chrome indicators" that mark the hours actually came loose inside my watch. I sent it to Skagen under their lifetime warranty to repair it. Guess what, it happed THREE times already...same exact problem. I've spent over 30$ just shipping the watch back and forth.
Again, I really like the watch, but the problems with things falling out, and poor repair service, I can only rate this watch a 3 star.

Best watch in the world!, January 7, 2006
This review is from: Skagen Men's 105LTX Titanium Grey Dial Watch (Watch)
I love this watch. I got it in July and man it is awesome! It's so light that you wouldn't believe you're wearing it. I worked at Starbucks for 6 months and banged it around and no scrathes at all on the hard mineral crystal. It's not scratch resistent, but i've never gotten any nicks at all.
People from various age groups (teenager, mom, yuppies) have asked about the watch because it's a subtle classy elegant watch. This would make a great present for that special someone or for yourself.
If you want to adjust the chain, go to a local watch shop. It should take less than 5 minutes and cost about $6. Don't do it at a major brand name store. They charge $15 and you may have to wait.
By the way, the numbers and dials do glow in the dark. Crazy!
