Very Good to Excellent overall watch. Worth the money, especially thru Amazon where I just bought my 2nd one for $65. In store pricing on the first was $100. HERE"S WHY I"M BUYING ANOTHER: Nice slim styling with a strong band. People have commented on this one (as I did on others before I got mine) and it's a fair deal for what you get. The clasp stays closed and the Battery worked for 16 months and is easily found at Radio Shack for $5.
Unfortunately, The glass face cracked in outdoor work on a 15 degree day. It shouldn't be subjected to these conditions, but shouldn't crack as easily as the rumors say. And, the battery can't be replaced by owner since the back cover can't be reseated tightly. The Date is hard to read, and there's no nightlight function to read it in low light. I guess this all is a trade off.
BOTTOM LINE: Be sure you want it if it's $100, and don't sweat it if it's $70.

This watch is light, thin, and looks good.

Pros:
Style, and the clasp is cool.

Cons:
The clasp is cool, but it also looks kind of thin/cheap. Hopefully it'll last.

Overall:
I've had it for about a week so far, and it's worked out great.
5 Stars.

Received the watch in 3days!! Great service! Attractively boxed and a terrific looking watch. Easy to adjust the band and very comfortable!

I purchased this watch at a local COSTCO here in NJ where I live. The watch sells for $59.95, but you have to pay sales tax.

The watch has a very thin case, band and crystal. The look of the watch is very stylish and modern. The case and band are made of stainless steel and it seems very tough and durable for its light weight and slim profile. The band is the most comfortable I have ever worn. It takes a little time and patience to adjust the band to fit your wrist but once it is set you will never have to mess with it again unless you gain or lose a bunch of weight. I would recommend this watch to anyone looking for something comfortable and stylish.

You really cannot find a better looking contemporary watch for the money than Skagan. Slim, handsome, comfortable, breathable. Great! One of the things I really like is that the band is so thin that it does not interfere with laptop typing. This is my second Skagan. The first lasted 7-8 years of daily used before the metal band spring pin wore out. Rather than fix it, I decided to update my look. People compliment the watch regularly.

Purchased my first Skagen almost five years ago and just replaced the original battery. It took a day or two to get used to the clasp. Note, the stainless steel band is ideal for our hot and humid climate in Florida.
I'm buying this new model with a black and white face because of my problem is reading the watch dial in low light. I recommend the Skagen watch with the mesh band without reservation based on my good experience with my first Skagen watch. Its a fine product at an outstanding price from Amazon.

At the risk of sounding like an ad copywriter, I'd say the 233XLSS is slim and understated... a real piece of art. Much better than the clunky watches with all the buttons that are a half-inch thick and weigh a ton. But...

I looked at one at Macy's and fought the clasp and the clasp adjuster over and over. The sales person had a hard time with it, too. Went to Costco and looked at one. Same story. The sales person and I both wrestled with the clasp. I can see where it would be a snap (no pun intended) after you had used it a few (say, ten or twenty) times). But for the first-time buyer, the mesh/clasp setup is anything but easy to get used to, and seems to discourage a sale. I think I'll still buy it purely for aesthetics. I'd go five stars if it weren't for the clasp-wrestle.

I bought this watch for my husband for Christmas. He LOVES it and I love the way it looks on him. The watchband makes the watch (many have commented) and the thinness of it makes it look so sleek on his wrist. Everything from the look of the watch to the black face dial with the silver makes this watch a winner. A great buy. I plan on buying another one for my son for his high school graduation.

Great looking watch. First watch sent stopped working after 2 weeks, probably battery. Amazon customer service was great about sending replacement. got it 2 days later and is working finr now

Received this watch as a gift, and I now absolutely love Skagen watches.

A real sleek looking watch, elegant design.

Mesh strap is much stronger than it looks.
