I really like automatic watches but I can also recognize that quartz systems have a lot of value. It is just that you cannot use the same scale to measure them. Bearing that in mind, I believe this is a very good product.
I have had it for one and a half years and I can say it is a very accurate watch (as expected from a quartz piece) and so far, a very reliable one. In general terms, I try to be careful with my watches, but I cannot avoid occasional accidents. In that regard, my watch has resisted everything well. The mineral crystal has absolutely no scratches. Overall, this watch is well built. It is definitely not a watch that can resist a beating without blinking but it is by no means a fragile product.
Now the DESIGN (coupled with its price) is what really makes this watch a truly great alternative. In terms of beauty, elegance and harmony it is truly difficult to surpass (at least in its segment). It is absolutely Scandinavian (simple, elegant) but with a very well thought touch of discrete shine that adds to its beauty. This is the kind of watch that you can use both on business and country club environments and that will never scream but will always draw attention.
The case is VERY comfortable as it measures 40 mm and has a somewhat conic shape that gets smaller as it approaches the wrist. As a result, it obviously looks like a 40 mm watch (a size that would be comfortable per se) but it feels a bit smaller in the wrist, making it even more comfortable to use. The dial is absolutely beautiful (and unique). According to the pictures shown in Amazon the dial color is kind of charcoal. But in reality it is less dark than that and the remarkable sunburst effect reflects the light in tones that resemble bronze. An absolutely elegant, beautiful result. Likewise, there is a subtle contrast in textures that contributes greatly to make me conclude that elegance and simplicity are the name of the game here. That is, the day and date displays have a very delicate circular brushing while the dial itself (outside those displays) is brushed in straight lines from the center to the borders. And that makes the sunlight gets reflected in a slightly different manner in the displays. Absolutely nice! Likewise, in perfect harmony with the rest of the watch the shiny and VERY slim contours of the the hands, of the hour marks and of the date and day displays are bronze-copper color.
Finally, the strap is supple, comfortable and good quality. Besides that, its color matches very well with the design of the case and the dial, highlighting the design qualities of the overall product.
If you are looking for a quartz watch that you can use in different environments and fits well every single time, comfortable, with outstanding elegant and simple design and that never goes unnoticed because of its elegance, buy it. Even more if you consider the price tag. A deal hard to defeat.

Great alooking Watch
This watch looks great and is very comfortable. I took one star off the rating because it did not come with instructions on how to set the day and date. I figured it out but it takes some time to set the day. You have to keep advancing the time until you get to the correct day. You pull the stem halfway out to advance to the correct date. The price of this watch was another plus as I found it half price on Amazon. Skagen web site listed it for $155.

I just recieved this watch and am quite happy. It almost exactly matches the posted picture, but I added my own anyway.
The band feels really nice and appears to be high quality. It is soft but thick enough that I don't think it should have too many issues with durability, but time will tell. It is very comfortable! I like that the holes for adjusting the clasp are pretty close together, it was easy to find a perfect fit.
The face has a very elegant look to it with the slate grey metallic composition, but it's still casual enough for everyday wear. A perfect balance between classy and utilitarian if you ask me.
Luckily my watch was set to the correct day, but it would take a while to get to the right day if it wasn't, as you have to cycle through 24 hrs on the same setting you would use to set time. Otherwise, pull the knob halfway out to set date, all the way out to set time.

This espresso watch is really beautiful, elegant, thin and and most importantly it's very easy to read and to adjust. The leather is soft, the colors look great (blue dial matching brown strap) ... It's just adorable. Very reasonable priced, highly recommended!
