Summary: Avoid Skagen
Comment: I have three Skagen watches. I really liked the way the first one looked so I got another one for casual use.
One of them is the blue version of this, 355LSSN. They are beautiful. I would never buy a Skagen watch again, however. Here are the issues I have with them:
Most importantly, everything about this watch is proprietary. Changing batteries is a pain as you can't find them locally and it costs $14.95 and they do not seem to last long. Bands are proprietary as well and is $34.95 (The watch is $58.20 as of now!!!) Also you better keep your sales receipt even though they have lifetime warranty (so who cares when you bought it??)
As for their customer service, it is terrible. I sent in my replacement band and battery with payment for two watches in July and they cashed the check and didn't receive anything until January. I called them and they promised to send a free battery as an apology, but when I received the items finally in March, no battery was included (let alone a free one). I gave up.
Other issues:
a) Wire mesh bands: The clasp is not always tight and over time will slide and get a little loose. Also the titanium mesh is made of tiny small circles of metal interlocked and if one of them gets open (say you hit something), it starts unraveling slowly but surely.
b) Leather band: The one I have fell apart so quickly it is surprising. It also started smelling bad due to sweat (I do not sweat that much and I owned other watches with leather bands). This seems to be a very bad quality.
c) Water - my watch started fogging after 2 years of light usage.
I will NOT buy another Skagen watch. Their customer service and business practices are shady. They are great watches when they work.
I am now an owner of a Citizen watch.

Summary: Battery hiccuped & died, in just 3 days!!
Comment: Like a pretty prominent percentage of people here, Skagen's great & elegant looks plus affordability was what attracted me, and despite being the low-income-earning-grad-student:) next door, I ended up gifting my nearest family members (4 of them), a Skagen each!!
The watches did arrive on time, and looked pretty sweet-n-spiffy in their nice boxes. Except this one, which looked kind of dusty and old. Anyhow, I am not a finicky person, and so that was hardly a big deal, but after my father had worn it for like a mere 3-4 times, he realized the watch wasn't working!! It was dead as a Dodo!!
Now, he's very careful and cautious in dealing with such delicate stuff, so I am 101% sure that it wasn't that the watch hit anything (or vice versa) or that it came in contact with water or something...
I hope it's just the battery, and not something drastic that's occured to it. Plus I hope the other watches work fine... so that I can write positive reviews about them, sometime! :)

Summary: great watch
Comment: this watch is great! I've been wanting something very slim compared to to my usual "multi-function" watches that were oversized. watch bands tend to break me out, but this band hasn't irritated my skin at all. plus the slim design barely rises off my wrist. some people have posted that they've had problems with the crystal breaking. I've had this watch for weeks now, and have even accidentally knocked it on tables, walls, etc. and the crystal has yet to break. my only complaint is that the clasp has gotten scratched, while the rest of the steel on the watch is still picture perfect. I'm eventually going to get the titanium version of this watch.

Summary: Nice watch
Comment: Just like the specs say, this is a very thin watch. I got this to wear under long sleeve shirts and it's perfect. You can't tell it's there and the sleeve can move down the wrists without the watch getting in the way.
Well worth the price.

Summary: Didn't Last A Week
Comment: I read all of the reviews on this watch and saw some claimed the crystal broke without any trauma. I figured that just couldn't be....well, this was the magical exploding watch that didn't last a week. The watch was sitting on the table when the crystal just broke and little glass chards scattered about the table. We've never seen anything like it! There is certainly a design flaw with this watch. I loved the sleek look and the lightweight titanium band...but had to return it due to the exploding crystal.
