 Love the thin designJul 21, 2008
By M. Erb
I bought my Skagen 233XLSGS a year and a half ago. I have mixed feelings.
I dislike heavy, bulky watches. I love the thin profile of this watch. It is so light you barely realize it is on your wrist. It is very thin and generally comfortable to wear except in hot weather. In hot weather the band holds moisture next to the skin which I find a little bothersome. The two-tone face is very attractive and it is easy to read the time. I feel the price of the watch offers real value. You can pay nearly as much for a plastic cased Timex or Casio watch... a few dollars more gives you a really nicely designed Skagen. It's a lot of "bang for the buck".
Pros:
Super thin and comfortable to wear.
Elicits many compliments for its looks.
Accurate time.
Great price that offers excellent value.
Cons:
The mesh band is not comfortable in hot weather and gets rather sweaty next to skin.
The mesh band can easily be damaged if you accidentally hit something with your arm. In my case one of the fine wires broke and now snags on clothing.
The "brushed stainless steel" casing scuffs very easily as can be seen my the image I uploaded.
The clasp on the band can lose it's tension and come open. It is possible to gently press the sides together to "bend" it slightly which fixes the problem for quite a while. When it loosens again, repeat the gentle pressure on the sides. Minor nusiance but not a deal breaker.
The calendar is absurdly small and I can't read it without holding the watch about an inch from my eye. Yeah I wear glasses and my close vision isn't the best but it's too darn small to be worthwhile.
The crystal on watch has developed a crack and will eventually have to be replaced. Not sure if I'll have it fixed or just buy a new watch.
I do like the watch in spite of the mesh band and cracked crystal issues. In fact I just ordered another one just like this one since it would have cost nearly as much to replace the mesh band as to just buy a new watch. But if the new one doesn't hold up any better, it won't be replaced again.
For now, I'm comfortable giving this a 3 rating. Your mileage may vary.

 Great WatchJun 30, 2006
By C. J. Steiger
Very satisfied with this watch. Although the date is rather small, my 72-year old eyes have no problem seeing it clearly. That is, with the aid of tri-focals!

Slick Looking WatchOct 20, 2009
By Aaron L. Lewis Jr.
"The Watch Man"
I am a collector of different watches with different price points. I own cartier, rolex, invicta, patek about 60 others. Skagen is an inexpensive brand that is done with good taste. It looks like it cost way more than it does. I like all sorts of watches heavy, thin, dress and sport. This one is just a cool watch with an air or elegance and good taste.

 watch is too delicateDec 26, 2008
By D. Derienzis
purchased it for $61 in late 2007 and as the surface of the crystal is raised above the rim face it cracked upon contact with a surface. Repair is $31 plus shipping. Two months after repair the crystal, which is made of glass, and not hardened plastic developed multiple cracks and the band pin dropped off. This watch is too delicate and so is strictly for dress up.

slim lineJan 12, 2008
By Linda Kjeldgaard
"linda gifts"
Skagen men's slimline mesh watch - great value for a slim light weight watch. Not that heavy bulk. Date could be larger. Dial easy to read.
Skagen is a good brand and we love the Danish connection since my husband's family comes from Denmark!
