Signatur Minimalist Stainless Steel Watch for Men

I like to collect different watches to wear out. This is one of my favorites. It's high quality, nice looking, and comfortable. Highly recommend!

Good clean look, high quality watch. Elegant feel.

Not anywhere near as expensive as other brands without looking too cheap so it's a good value for money. The leather is soft on the skin but I'm not the biggest fan of the texture and it also wrinkles too easily anytime it's worn.

Nice looking watch

Not a watch conessiuer by any stretch, but I do own several watches. I bought this watch (the brown band, black hardware variant) and the watch was as advertised. The band is a bit on the cheap side in terms of feel and look, but the watch is also apart of Skagen's price-conscious Signatur series, and Skagen themselves are a budget-friendly brand so, can't say I was too surprised. The face of the watch is great, love the coloring of the third hand and hour hands. So many times these pictures are touched up and the end product isn't what you saw online, this is not the case here. The watch itself keeps time well, of course. Better than my Fossil watches. All in all, a solid watch that looks casual at a glance and can impress upon discovery to the date, coworker, etc.

Pretty good and happy with the watch. Satisfied with the minimalist watch. Took a few weeks to shortlist watches that fulfilled criteria of being minimalist, clean, lightweight, slim, mesh strap, thin wrist and all black- one tone. This is by far my personal favorite purchase in recent times. Cons- the watch delivered had glossy background instead of brushed per the image. ( not disappointed but something that needs to be looked into and updated on Amazon)

This is an attractive watch, and I have enjoyed wearing it for about a year. It’s a nice size as well. However, I discovered after removing the backing to check the battery (it died last night), that it was impossible for me to replace the backing after removing it. I am a reasonably strong person and had the backing and internal components properly aligned with the mechanism, but neither I nor my friend could get the backing to snap back in place. At the price point at which this watch is sold, I would not expect to have to own any special tools or take the watch to a specialist to have the backing re-seated. This seems like an issue with the product design rather than user error or a single faulty piece.

Alright, so this is a very nice watch, especially for the price. But full disclosure, I can't keep this. I specifically wanted a sweeping second hand watch, which this is not. (My fault not seeing "quartz", but also Amazon's fault for their terrible search filter, which probably includes reviews.) Another review described the watches second hand as "sweeping", which (admittedly foolishly on my part) gave me hope this was smooth movement. Its quartz movement, which is a per-second tick. (NOT high bph like 21600 or 28000 bph.) But, that being said, its very quiet, even with my very sensitive hearing. I can barely hear it at 5 inches away in a quiet room. I'm sure it would be inaudible at 20 inches down by my side at night when sleeping. Now, I'm not a shnob for quality, but another review said "the second hand is misaligned with the watchface" and this is true. Mine is too. (Check photo.) I personally could live with it, but it would be a bit annoying for actual accurate countdown timing. The leather band is nice. It's 20mm. It has a tool-less release. It's real leather, sealed thickly to a smooth polish, not fuzzy with hairs. The metal clasp is brushed metal, black. Nice touch. The case is 7mm thin. Not thick at all, something I prefer. In fact, the whole reason I bought this was the thin case, as I slide my arms in tight spaces often and absolutely HATE (with a passion) thick watches and arm bands that get caught. So, including the crown, I measured 41mm. Without, it's about 39mm. Top to bottom is 46mm (from the top pair of rod-holders to the bottom pair). The leather bands are 2.5mm thick. Total watch length (excluding the clasp) is 9.5", or 235mm. There are two band-holder loops for the excess band. The one nearest to the clasp is affixed to the band and does not move. The second one is loose and slides along the band. There are 10 notch holes in the band. The lume (glow in the dark) is okay I guess. It's better than nothing. Personally, I don't understand the point of passive glow-in-the-dark lumes on a battery-powered watch, since the lume charge only last like 15-20 minutes, even with intense light. Like seriously, why aren't all watched lit with tritium? It's not even that expensive, like $10-15 for a few indicators. Also, coming from a smartwatch with tilt-to-brighten, these short-lived lumes are just painfully annoying. Any watch I get will get the tritium treatment. (Mixglo sells wide varieties of shapes.) Lastly, the glass seems to have a tiny bit dusty, and I think it's on the inside. Again, not a shnob, I couldnt care less. Doesnt really affect my ability to glance at the time. But, if this is brand new (it is not, clearly been opened before), why's it dirty? I wouldn't mind taking it apart and cleaning it, but I know most other people are not willing to clean it, which is unacceptable by their standard. So anyways, it's a lovely watch, minus those imperfections. I would keep it, but I've got some odd (lets be honest: unfair) stringently specific requirements for my time-pieces.
