 Skagen Men's Slimline Mesh Watch #233XLSSM By: Skagen Average Rating: 4.5 Total Reviews: 12 More Information It's an OK watch... nothing "Glamorific"  On: 2008-05-04Ill be short and sweet, but to the point. The watch in a nutshell is alright in terms of uniqueness... however, it has poor quality! the Glass covering ---easily--- gets smudged, fogged, and scratched. I bought this watch 3 months now and its already accumulated the 3 MAJOR setbacks listed above. In addition, the [pin] that holds the band together sucks!!!!!!!!!! i was washing my clothes 2 weeks in wearing it, and it was etched slightly as i was feeding clothes in the machine and broke off. I spoke to customer service for a replacement. They were mean and unhelpful and told me >>>thats my problem<<< and that the only way to fix it is to pay for a new pin which cost $7.89. so no! dont get this watch! its not all that. I havent even receive 1 compliment from it w/in the 3 months upon purchase. lol. the watch  On: 2008-04-06Its perfect. Just what I expected; slim, trim and beautiful!Skagen Mens Mesh Bracelet Watch #355LSSM Great watch, highly recommended On: 2008-03-30You really cannot find a better looking contemporary watch for the money than Skagan. Slim, handsome, comfortable, breathable. Great! One of the things I really like is that the band is so thin that it does not interfere with laptop typing. This is my second Skagan. The first lasted 7-8 years of daily used before the metal band spring pin wore out. Rather than fix it, I decided to update my look. People compliment the watch regularly. Elegant, thin, and functional On: 2008-02-17I got this watch for Christmas, having compared it in a store to the similar Titanium ones. Theres really no difference in weight, and Ive been totally happy with it. Also, Ive gotten lots of compliments. Its a great watch at a great price. A Repeat Customer On: 2007-12-07Purchased my first Skagen almost five years ago and just replaced the original battery. It took a day or two to get used to the clasp. Note, the stainless steel band is ideal for our hot and humid climate in Florida. Im buying this new model with a black and white face because of my problem is reading the watch dial in low light. I recommend the Skagen watch with the mesh band without reservation based on my good experience with my first Skagen watch. Its a fine product at an outstanding price from Amazon. Very Good Watch with minimal drawbacks  On: 2007-10-17Very Good to Excellent overall watch. Worth the money, especially thru Amazon where I just bought my 2nd one for $65. In store pricing on the first was $100. HERE"S WHY I"M BUYING ANOTHER: Nice slim styling with a strong band. People have commented on this one (as I did on others before I got mine) and its a fair deal for what you get. The clasp stays closed and the Battery worked for 16 months and is easily found at Radio Shack for $5. Unfortunately, The glass face cracked in outdoor work on a 15 degree day. It shouldnt be subjected to these conditions, but shouldnt crack as easily as the rumors say. And, the battery cant be replaced by owner since the back cover cant be reseated tightly. The Date is hard to read, and theres no nightlight function to read it in low light. I guess this all is a trade off. BOTTOM LINE: Be sure you want it if its $100, and dont sweat it if its $70. The 233XLSS: Great Looking but Hard to Put On On: 2007-06-26At the risk of sounding like an ad copywriter, Id say the 233XLSS is slim and understated... a real piece of art. Much better than the clunky watches with all the buttons that are a half-inch thick and weigh a ton. But... I looked at one at Macys and fought the clasp and the clasp adjuster over and over. The sales person had a hard time with it, too. Went to Costco and looked at one. Same story. The sales person and I both wrestled with the clasp. I can see where it would be a snap (no pun intended) after you had used it a few (say, ten or twenty) times). But for the first-time buyer, the mesh/clasp setup is anything but easy to get used to, and seems to discourage a sale. I think Ill still buy it purely for aesthetics. Id go five stars if it werent for the clasp-wrestle. GREAT WATCH On: 2007-03-12Received the watch in 3days!! Great service! Attractively boxed and a terrific looking watch. Easy to adjust the band and very comfortable! Hot looking watch! On: 2007-01-11I bought this watch for my husband for Christmas. He LOVES it and I love the way it looks on him. The watchband makes the watch (many have commented) and the thinness of it makes it look so sleek on his wrist. Everything from the look of the watch to the black face dial with the silver makes this watch a winner. A great buy. I plan on buying another one for my son for his high school graduation. great looking watch On: 2006-06-26Great looking watch. First watch sent stopped working after 2 weeks, probably battery. Amazon customer service was great about sending replacement. got it 2 days later and is working finr now Slim Watch - Great Price! On: 2006-06-16Received this watch as a gift, and I now absolutely love Skagen watches. A real sleek looking watch, elegant design. Mesh strap is much stronger than it looks. Slim, Elegant On: 2006-06-10This watch is light, thin, and looks good. Pros: Style, and the clasp is cool. Cons: The clasp is cool, but it also looks kind of thin/cheap. Hopefully itll last. Overall: Ive had it for about a week so far, and its worked out great. 5 Stars. |
