Skagen Sundby Herrenuhr, Quarzwerk mit Edelstahl- Oder Lederarmband

Beautiful, slim, understated, reliable watch. Thoroughly recommend Skagen

I wanted to replace an unreliable and too-chunky watch with something very thin, simple, readable, made of titanium. Having had another Skagen (a gold plated "dress" watch) for some years I sought similar size but had to do some searching for this present one as there seems to be a move to these huge "bling" type monsters, and Skagen have not been immune to these trends.This model meets all my needs and would appear to be of high quality and hopefully long-lasting. It was easy to set up the date feature, which entails setting the previous day and then winding to the present day to ensure the correct AM/PM mode.Just one gripe-I suspect that this model is not current as it came with a Euro price tag still attached-presumably sourced from the Continent; that doesn't bother me at all, and it was delivered within 2 days; but it was dead! I had to get a new battery fitted at extra cost. Minus points here for Amazon.

1st impression review as the watch only arrived today.Received this afternoon, super quick delivery in a well packaged on a padded cushion in a box within a sleeve within a plastic bag within a padded Amazon box. No problems there then.The watch itself looks gorgeous with a dark (darker than the photos in natural light) with very clear numerals, hour and minute hands that have a modicum of luminosity. The small date window is readable at the six o'clock position. The biggest (arguably smallest) thing you notice is how slim the case is. When on the wrist it shrinks even more as the slightly domed underside is hidden by the slimmer outer case.Strap adjustment is very stiff but gives a secure feeling once the locking mechanism is firmly in place to adjust the band length, the clasp will then attach correctly (it wont if the strap lock is not fully home) and close perfectly with the secure lock applied. I have an older Skagen watch with a mesh band with a similar mechanism that is definitely easier to adjust than this one.The glass is slightly domed so you won't get that nasty flash of reflection from the sun when outside (on those seemingly rare occasions the sun pops out from behind the clouds, fog, heavy rain, snow etc)Accuracy, no idea so as it's too soon to tell. I will update if needed.Initial conclusion, a beautiful light super slim watch however the band takes some effort to adjust.

Great looking watch but has a fundemental flaw.The strap is held by a flimsy bar which has broken twice in a month and I've had to get it repaired both times. The guy who repaired it said the bar lools too small and flimsy to hold it.This watch was bought because I lost a similar watch by Skagen. Same flimsy bar. Couldn't find it anywhere and had previously had similar issues. Now almost certain it fell of my arm at some point due to bar pinging off.Love the look of Skagen watches but likely the last time I buy one.

I have been looking for a lightweight watch for everyday use for some time now - my normal go to watch is a Casio W-86-1VQES Men's Digital Resin Strap Watch which is fine for the gym etc but doesn't look great at work.This Skagen design therefore seemed perfect - the design is really attractive and the face itself really needs to be seen to be believed, much like some other reviews have said. It can seem bright blue in daylight but almost two tone royal blue/black in the evening. This for me makes it feel suitable for day and evening use which is great.The strap itself is flexible and easily adjusted (though not 'on the fly' - you will need a flathead screwdriver or similar to tighten or loosen the fit). Additionally, men with small wrists should be aware, that the face itself extends out into the strap, which will hold the face away from your wrist if it isn't wide enough.My only small concern (and hence the 4 star review) is how water resistant the watch is. I realise 'water resistant' is not 'waterproof' but the back says '3 ATM' which implies suitable for swimming. The manual gives guidance and says it "Can withstand splashes of water while washing hands or in the rain" so I'll go by that - ignore the 3 ATM and don't use it swimming or showering!

Really impressed with this watch as I have been wearing Skagen watches for years and have loved them, however fancied something a bit more up to date and with the date on it. This fits the bill perfectly and is very shiny and keeps great time. I genuinely love the design of the face which is smart and easy to read, though not easy to read in the dark as nothing is glow in the dark (for some reason I thought that the hour markings were....). The metal strap is wider than most Skagen straps but is still very comfy and flexible after a couple of days wearing it, due to its braided strap it doesnt get sweaty and dries off quickly when it gets wet.This is a great watch from a great band and I will happily stick to buying Skagen watches if they keep on making them as nice as this!!

This is my 3rd Skagen watch and the 2nd with the blue dial. As a timekeeper it does a very good job and the design is just perfect (if you like flat watches..) The glass is not the hardest crystal and scratches may appear if it is in contact with hard materials.But what really blew my mind is the service of Amazon.My previous watch stopped working within a year after purchase. I had the battery replaced (in Holland were I live) but that did not do the job. Then I asked Amazon by email what to do. Within 2 hours they responded to send back the watch and that all costs (including transportation) would be refunded and charged to my credit card. And so it happened. These guys are a role-model for the industry!I ordered a new Skagen watch and hope it will last longer. But if not, I can depend on Amazon. So 5 stars for this purchase and service experience.
