 Best gift ever!Sep 05, 2010
I bought this watch for my husband as a Father's day present. I was actually trying to get a replacement for his favorite blue-faced Swiss watch, but it was no longer available. So the blue face was really important! I read all the reviews and decided to take a chance and purchase it. Well, he loved it! The band was easily adjusted to fit and the styling is so handsome with the mesh band, thin profile and the gorgeous blue face. I should also mention that it keeps perfect time and it is very comfortable on his wrist. He is still surprised by how many comments and complements he gets on this watch.
Nice watch, but about that clasp......Aug 31, 2010
I just got one of these watches, and I quite like it. It's a very understated look it has, more so than the picture here at Amazon would lead you to believe. The grey color of the titanium case and mesh band is, I would say, maybe a shade or two darker than what I'd call neutral in tone, and the blue face is somewhat darker than the picture here would lead you to think. There's practically no element of "bling" to it at all, if that's what you're looking for. But I do like it. It has a very elegant, sleek, clean-lined appearance in the tradition of modern Scandinavian design. It's what I consider a quite thin watch, and so would be very good to wear with a long-sleeved shirt with tight cuffs. It's not really small like a lady's watch (or older men's watches, which were almost always small by today's standard), but neither is it as large as some of the oversized, macho behemoths that are marketed as men's watches today. The size is just nicely in between the two extremes. One of the reasons I picked this one is that I've always liked watch faces that have a full complement of Arabic-style numerals, which this one does.
About that pesky clasp, though......many people appear to have been baffled by it, as I was when it first arrived today. You might honestly think after staring at it for a while, as I did, that you understand how it's supposed to work. And there's a very good chance that you are completely wrong about that, because it's tricky. I think many of the people who have claimed that the clasp does not hold securely, and that the watch keeps dropping off, simply never discovered how to work it properly. Believe me, if you do it properly it is a very secure fastener, but you need to find out how because it's tricky. It's a three-step process: "hook, snap, clasp." Hard to explain with words though, you really need a visual aid, which you can see at the Skagen website. Go to their home page, at the bottom of which click "Customer Service," then click "Watch Band Sizing" and you'll get the instruction page with diagrams showing not only how to secure the clasp, but also how to adjust the band's length, which is also not at all obvious from just looking at it. It's simple once you figure it out, but if you don't do all three of the steps of closing it, it will fail you.
In addition, it's easy to set the time and date, and seems to be running OK so far. The only quibble I might have with it is that the little round window with the day of the month on it is really very tiny, and can be difficult to see for some people in low light or without their reading glasses.
titanium watchJul 24, 2010
After reading the other reviews I bought this for my husband who suffers from a very bad skin rash if he wears a non titanium watch. He loves it and says it is the best watch he has ever had. The blue face is beautiful and he says it keeps truly accurate time. Well worth the money!!!

 Broken crystals and broken promisesJul 05, 2010
I loved the look and feel of this timepiece. However, within weeks of light usage they crystal broke. Naturally, that is not covered by the warranty. I wonder why? I then ordered a new crystal on my own dime ($25 plus shipping). While I waited, I wore the watch. I needed to know what time it was! During my wait, the watch fastening mechanism failed THREE times, sending my watch to the floor, denting the watch. When I received my crystal and had it put in, the crystal lasted 2 days before breaking on the end of my desk at work (which has a rubberized edge, by the way). ABSOLUTE JUNK and Skagen knows it -- they warranty all but the crystal. MANY other watch-makers warranty the crystal. I will be choosing a different brand today. I strongly suggest you do the same.
 Not Rated as water proof to 99 feetJun 30, 2010
Don't get me wrong this is a great watch, it's attractive and comfortable. However, I like a versatile watch. This watch is not rated to 99 feet as advertised by Amazon. You can't take a shower or a quick swim with the watch on. If you don't want to remove your watch for these activities, don't buy this watch. The best you can do is wash your hands with it on, or splash water on it. This information from the watch manual and watch seller. I bought it because I believed the hype.
