Review by CA doc : Fantastic Skagen Classic

I began wearing Skagen watches in the mid-90s. The classics like this one and the original women’s round face watch with brushed bezel, arabic face numerals plus date and plain mesh band are my absolute favorites.

I had 3 of the original ones in a row, they got pretty beat up in medical school and residency. It was nice to have the second hand to take heart rates.

I’m not sure why some complain about the second hand being too similar to the minute hand – 1. it’s at a different depth 2. all you have to do, if you are confused, wait 1 (one) second to figure it out. One second is about what we spend looking at our watches to tell time anyway.

After my last of the 3 Skagens broke, I got a Cartier Santos from my husband which is amazing. However, I lost the sapphire from the crown stem (maybe the frequent washing for 3 yrs got it) and it’s going back for the repair.

I wanted something to wear while the Santos is being repaired and nostalgia brought me back to Skagen.

This Skagen 355SSS1 watch is gorgeous, even more perfect than the original. The case and bezel are high shine, the band is less glossy textured striped mesh with Skagen’s original clasp, signature brushed steel face, dotted hours, Skagen logo below 12 ‘clock and date at 6 o’clock.

One drawback was the first one Amazon sent did not work (?dead battery)and they sent the replacement overnight. Still, the watch deserves 5 stars.

Review by J.Rupp : Not my favorite

I have been wearing Skagen watches for ten years. I love that they are light weight, not bulky and good looking. Last year my husband gave me three Skagen watches so I could pick my favorite. Turns out I choose wrong. The second hand is almost exactly the same size as the minute hand. I have to stare at the watch and watch one hand move before I can tell what time it is. Looks like I will be asking for a new watch this year.

Review by One that knows : Love This Watch

Overall love Skagen watches and now have several. I find myself wearing this one more often then the others especially for everyday. Just a good basic watch, classic, clean line, good size for my small wrist, not too flashy. The second hand is a bit large and confusing as some have mentioned but not a big issue for me and worth the trade off for all the other good features. Just have to wait a second to read the time.

Review by Boglarka Lazar : The Minute and the Second Hands are too Similar

I love Skagen watches, they are attractive, reliable and inexpensive. I own three, a brown, a black and a gold, and lost my oldest, silver color, so it was a good reason to buy a new one. It was about 8 years old, always working perfectly. As a previous reviewer said, I made the wrong choice. I have the same complaint she had: you have to stop and stare at the watch to figure out which hand is moving, showing the seconds, and which one shows the minute. The two hands are way too similar! Also the little window showing the date is a bit too small to see it well. Maybe it was the same size on my previous model, I just got older and don’t it see so well. So, this is not a watch for impatient people over 40. I like the design of the strap, that is something new. These metal Skagen straps are so sturdy, so practical! Never a problem to adjust to my narrow wrist size.
So, this is definitely not the watch I would buy again, but any other Skagen, next time without a second hand or with a very different second hand, is!

Review by Shelley R. Fergusonchi : 3rd Watch

I love this watch. It is my 3rd one. It is very light on the wrist and easy to read. I will buy it again.
