Anyone own a Skagen watch?

[Inspector Jihad]

I'm thinking of getting one...i really like that simple yet elegant, minimalistic design. How's reliable and sturdy are they?

 

[GhettoFob]

I've had one for about two months. No problems so far. Which one are you thinking of getting?

any other ones that you recommend. I prefer the link bands...i just dont think the mesh band would look right on me.

edit: i like this one too...its more expensive tho

Yes I have one. Very thin watch.

Only issue I've noticed is that the backside perimeter silver coating gets eaten away by sweat and shows bronze color beneath. Of course you can't see it unless you take off the watch.
I've had mine since the end of 1997. I like it and would buy another.

I've got one, and I've had it for a long time. Unfortunatley, there are very few places to get the battery changed around here, so I'm having an issue with that.

I like it too, but they don't have the solar powered ones like seiko (ok, movement powered), citizen and such.

I love my Skaagen watch. I have the titanium one. It's so light and thin that it doesn't feel like its there.

Nah, it was his watch, though. Dealer gave him a good deal on a big batch of poppers for the watch and a Hummer.

Skaagens are beautiful, I have three. One was my wife's. We ferengi all got them for $25 shipped in a long ago coupon rape during the late, lamented intarweb tech boom. Quality and elegance w/o pretension, they are sports cars in a world of overwrought SUV/GI Joe watches.

I own one of the very thin all-titanium Skagen watches. It has the white dial face. I LOVE THE THING. Very light, no possibility of rust, and I can walk right through an airport metal detector with it on and not have worry about it. I paid $115. Well worth it.

 

[gotsmack]

yes, and like mine, most of them do not have a hand that counts seconds so I have no idea if the battery has died or not.

:thumbsup:

I have small wrists, I hate typical men's fat watches. I also prefer a leather band over a metal band. Skagen is perfect for me.

Mine

I have one for 3 years. Been great so far.

Inspector Jihad: Did you get a Skagen watch? You never followed up!

Btw, I'm thinking about getting one now too!
