Still have to see it in person, but I like the looks of it from the site. My wife bought me a Fossil Skeleton Automatic, but i'm not a big fan of the colors of the one she bought. Kenneth Cole has some nice looking cheap automatics as well, but none of them stand out to me. Skagen is my default choice, I love the look of them all as I like their architect/minimalist look.

Anyway, yea or nea?

Dunno why but I detest those.

I was the same until I was talked into getting it by my gf. We were on vacation, and I forgot to put a watch on before we left. I must of got on her nerves complaining about it, because she looked at the men watches while were at a new Costco.

She saw the G-Shock and told me to get it. I told her I didn't like it, but she told me to just get it, so she didn't have to hear about me not having a watch again. I laughed, and got someone to get it.

They only had the display one left, so the guy said he would take $20 off if I took it. I didn't care, as I thought I was going to return it anyway, so I agreed. The case to it was locked up, so we followed him to the front of the store, where another person had to get it. When he looked for it, he found the box, but everything else was missing. I told him I'd have to pass, because I would have no clue on how to set it. He said what if I knocked off another $20? I said ok.

It's been the best $40 I've spent all year. It will never need a battery, because it's solar powered, and it is always accurate. The looks have grown on me.😛
 
Yay - but only if you are collecting watches in various turd colors.

Oh look, I don't have the 3 bean burrito yet!
 
I don't like the very thick lugs - I think they're inconsistent with the otherwise-delicate design - and they will doom you to a very limited selection of replacement straps.
 
Eh, I think either of the black ones look better than the one you picked. But I don't even wear a watch so what do I know.
 
Costco sells those skagen watches. They're very thin.


They're 'fashion' watches. I prefer at least a cheap auto (Seiko 5). Costco used to sell cheap autos but I can't remember the brand.

Seiko5's are great watches and that is a nice one. I would not be surprised to find that is an aftermarket strap.
