I have always liked the simple styling of Skagen watches but I thought I would like to go for something a little bolder. It is certainly that. The watch looks really large on my narrow wrist (perhaps a bit larger than anticipated) but it does look stunning. I didn't realise there were actually two sizes but I'm quite happy with the larger size. I thought the weight might make the watch slide round my wrist but there are plenty of holes for even the narrowest of wrists, so it stays put. The back does say that it is waterproof, or should I say water resistant, up to 3ATM. I did accidentally leave it on in the shower and the watch was just fine but, other than that, I haven't put it to the test so can't really comment.
However, there are a few niggly little things - not serious enough for me to reject the watch but somewhat unexpected and worth a mention. (1) The strap is sometimes surprisingly difficult to fasten and takes several attempts to get the hook in the holes, it just seems to slide past them for some reason. (2) I chose the light blue colour as being the most versatile. The band and case are nice tones of blue but they could match up a little better for a mono toned watch. It's still quite versatile as colours go though. (3) Despite the large size, the numbers on the dial face can be a little difficult to read in low light. They could do with being a bit denser or brighter as in low light the numbers can become a little indistinct and at certain angles they actually disappear. (4) Is it me, or is the case quite chunky for a Skagen watch. Perhaps it's the price one pays for having a really large watch and a separate second hand movement.
I've only had the watch for a couple of weeks and functioning as a watch it has been fine, however, the little things mentioned above make me feel perhaps this watch is not quite the standard or quality I would expect of a Skagen watch of this price range. As I said, despite the little issues I have decided not to return the watch. I just hope that it lives up to the Skagen reputation. Time will tell.

Sharp Edges
Recenserad i Storbritannien den 7 december 2020
It is a nice watch, which looks nice on a wrist, but I don't find the colour matching between the watch and the strap particularly successful. They are completely different tones. The biggest issue I found in this watch is that the edges are quite sharp. The crown sharp edges in particular, as visible in the picture, can be annoying in particular wrist positions. I would have expected a slightly better quality finish and attention to the ergonomical factors.
