 Skagen Men's Mesh Bracelet Watch #355LSSM By: Skagen Average Rating: 4.0 Total Reviews: 22 More Information Battery hiccuped & died, in just 3 days!!  On: 2008-08-21Like a pretty prominent percentage of people here, Skagens 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 wasnt working!! It was dead as a Dodo!! Now, hes very careful and cautious in dealing with such delicate stuff, so I am 101% sure that it wasnt that the watch hit anything (or vice versa) or that it came in contact with water or something... I hope its just the battery, and not something drastic thats occured to it. Plus I hope the other watches work fine... so that I can write positive reviews about them, sometime! :) -Nitin great watch  On: 2008-07-21this watch is great! Ive 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 hasnt irritated my skin at all. plus the slim design barely rises off my wrist. some people have posted that theyve had problems with the crystal breaking. Ive 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. Im eventually going to get the titanium version of this watch. Nice watch On: 2008-07-01Just like the specs say, this is a very thin watch. I got this to wear under long sleeve shirts and its perfect. You cant tell its there and the sleeve can move down the wrists without the watch getting in the way. Well worth the price. Didn't Last A Week  On: 2008-04-12I read all of the reviews on this watch and saw some claimed the crystal broke without any trauma. I figured that just couldnt be....well, this was the magical exploding watch that didnt last a week. The watch was sitting on the table when the crystal just broke and little glass chards scattered about the table. Weve 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. Not so good, as I aspect.  On: 2008-03-26This item is looks good. but when i ordered i found problem on that watch. clearboy65  On: 2008-03-05This Skagen Watch is light on the wrist easy to clasp and great looking! Its manufactured with slim tech in mind and fine craftmanship. The case is unique of stainless steel unibody construction. The band is stainless mesh which shines along with being comfortable to wear. Not a really good date window, real small but overall it doesnt deter from my purchase. Amazon is amazing with price and tracking,couldnt be beat! THANKS Sleek look yet very easy to read. On: 2007-12-29Sleek dark face with pin dot dial markers make it easy to read time while keeping the face classy. No numbers except the date which is small but good enough to help. Thin body and band are a great alternative to heavy thick watches. The band is not difficult to latch once you get used to it. The watch is a steal. Comes with a battery. Great watch, awful band On: 2007-12-29In the price range, skagen undoubtedly has the nicest watch designs Ive seen but unfortunately its not enough to overcome the problems they have designing functional bands. In less than a year, I paid twice to have broken pins repaired and then gave up when the mesh came unattached from the pin connection and the watch would have needed repair a third time. I know the watch comes with a warranty I didnt take advantage of, but this is an irrelevant point to me. To warranty the watch, I would have had to pay $8.95 to skagen in addition to paying shipping and wait weeks for the watch to come back. What good is that? If I was a "good customer" and followed skagens procedures, I would have paid at least $40 on top of the price of the watch, within a year, just to keep it functioning. I take very good care of my watches and didnt wear this on a daily basis either, it simply has an awfully designed pin assembly. About the same time I bought this watch, I got a skagen as a gift for my girlfriend and to no surprise, it has had the same problems. I just love giving gifts that I have to regularily take to be repaired....

After reading some of the other reviews I was a little worried about the difficulty in operating the bracelet latch and the possiblility of the glass face shattering in cold weather that others had reported. However, This watched has now survived nearly a week of sub-freezing temperatures and theres no problems with the glass. Also, the bracelet latch is unique in how it works, but I wouldnt call it confusing. nice watch On: 2007-09-26Pros: sleek, stylish, comfortable. Cons: should have left off the date feature, you cant read it. The hour and minute hands are a little tough to see. Overall: Its well worth the money Simple elegance. On: 2007-09-04Skagen is my new favorite watchmaker because of their overall comfort, quality and design. The affordable price of their watches, relative to the thoughtfullness and quality that goes into every aspect of them, is quite remarkable. Both the steel and titanium mesh bands are extremely comfortable and very durable. They dont irritate or leave discolored markings on the skin. The clasp system is easy to open & close and is quite reliable. I love the simplicity and elegance of this watch. The color of the dial is a deep, dark grey; almost black. The hours and minute indicators are slightly raised, metal bullet points. There is a subtle, brushed finish on the dial that radiates a gorgeous sheen from its center. The hour and minute hands are simple silver-colored flat pins. The thinness of the watch makes it a pleasure to wear and doesnt snag on shirt cuffs. My only negative comment is that it takes some effort to read the numbers of the dates because their extremely small size in the window. Skagen watches have a casual elegance. They are appropriate for almost all formal or informal occasions. Beautiful, functional On: 2007-09-04Replaced another Skagen (ruined by an incompetent battery replacement). Loved that one. Love this one more. Slim and elegant. The band is beautiful too and very comfortable. Has a nice double catch feature that should minimize any accidental doffings. Simple elegance.

The watch look expensive and is very light on the wrist. Watch came dead On: 2007-06-13Watch was DOA when I received it. Someone should look before sending. I sent it back but lost money from Amazon. Skagen Men's Mesh Bracelet Watch #355LSSM On: 2007-06-11If you like simplicity and quality at a reasonable price, you really cant better Skagen watches. No numbers or fancy gadgets, just a clear basic timepiece of high quality, Only complaint - out of daylight, in certain artificial lightm, its very hard to see the hands due to reflections in the glass - this is peculiar to this model and not to two other Skagens Ive owned. Skagen Men's Mesh Bracelet Watch #355LSSM On: 2007-04-03Purchased this watch from amazon for use at work. Item is very well made with a thin outer base with a slightly higher inner center (about the size of a dime). Seems to be very accurate over the 4 week period Ive used it. The band is made of steel with a shiny texture and is very beautiful to view. I would purchase it again. Good Slim watch for good price On: 2007-01-11Watch looks very stlylish. But its not designed for the old people having little diffculties with eye sight, because it is little blurry in many angles. Otherwise it is a good purchase and shipping had an small issue, I bought 2 pieces, one piece came as broken, Amazon was really amazing.. they replaced the broken one wihtin 2 days. awesome On: 2007-01-09I bought this watch for a Christmas gift. My husband loved it. The price was awesome compared to retail. Excellent quality and Best value, sell like hot cake On: 2006-11-04Excellent quality and Best value, sell like hot cake....

It looks stylish just like in the picture. Such an affordable gift and the condition seems great. Good buy. Great Watch for the Price On: 2006-08-01I did a fair amount of research before I purchased this watch and for the price, it is hard to do better. The mesh band looks professional and the fold over clasp is very secure. Like most metal bands you are at risk of losing a few hairs; however, much less than most. The watch is lightweight but durable (I have already smacked it against a door jam). The watch is also very quiet (I can only hear the ticking when the watch is up against my ear). The only thing I do not like about the watch is the date is small and hard to read. However, I still rated the watch a five based on its other attributes. Good service On: 2005-10-16Ive purchased this watch as a gift and Id like to mention the very good service I received from the company. the delivery was very fast though it was from the US to the UK. It was very successful gift and was worth the price. thank you. |
