Skagen Melbye Three-Hand Watch with Stainless Steel Mesh Band - Minimalist Scandinavian Design for Men & Women - Perfect for Business, Casual & Everyday Wear

Sleek looking watch. I had a problem initially with the locking mechanism on the band but everything has worked out. I'm very satisfied with this purchase.I love the watch for style and function. This watch has the day & date, and it contains English & Spanish languages for the days. However, I am unable to set the day on the Spanish language; it just appears briefly between the day changes. Good luck getting support from Skagen - they offer repair services but nothing about setting the day language.This watch is just beautiful. Love it. I own many more expensive pieces, but this is my favorite.I love Skagen watches--titaniumwrist bands. Skagen has flatened the crystal on the watch to lessen damage when dropped. I will buy more.Nothing it's very goodlove the brand. nice watch for the money. very comfortable on the wristLike but looks like is not original pice or refurnished. I buy one from costco long time ago and the package was complete diferent. Till work good is not problem.Style is a matter of personal opinion but in my opinion this is a nice looking watch. The brown version is also stylish if brown is your preference. I was cursed with thin bones and a small wrist. This watch is exceptionally thin and does not look either conspicuous or out of place when I wear it. But people notice it and favorably comment on its appearance.This is the second of this specific Skagen SKW6006 watch that I have owned. After a couple years the battery failed in my initial watch. I took it to Walmart to have the battery replaced and that proved to be a significant judgment error. Walmart scratched up the back of the watch, may or may not have installed the correct battery, apparently messed up the actual watch mechanism with the battery installation since it quit working soon after, and may well have made the watch either unrepairable or uneconomically repairable. Walmart had succesfully replaced batteries in other watches that I have owned so I don't know the exact point in the chain of battery replacement events that damaged my Skagen watch. Regardless because even though I am certain that Walmart damaged my watch there is no point in challenging them since it was working when I left the store. The next morning the second hand would unsuccesfully try to advance and the watch no longer worked.I purchased from Amazon a second identical model watch at a much lower price than my first Skagen watch because I really like this model watch. I do not know if it has a valid Skagen warranty but I do know that having Walmart work on my watch invalidated the once valid first watch warranty.This was the last of two watches offered for sale by Amazon LLC at the time that it was ordered so my ordering situation may have passed when this review is read.The new watch was shipped horribly packed but it amazingly was not damaged and has been working fine for a week--not a real test. My old Skagen watch worked perfectly for several years until the battery died. Nice features--day and date. It was always accurate. The luminosity of the hands is underwhelming but I really don't care. I have read complaints about the crystal cracking. The crystal on my first watch never cracked but it does have a very minor scuff. If the watch is not properly latched it will be lost and gone forever and care is always required when putting on the watch and operating the latch. It really is an unsecure design waiting for human error. ALWAYS take the time to assure that it is correctly latched! I found the band to be comfortable.If you learn from my experience send the watch either to Skagen's authorized repair center (reported to be very reputable) or to some other reputable servicer to have the battery replaced. I have read that done correctly the gasket should be replaced if the back cover is removed. Battery replacement prices vary but considering that Walmart charged me about $7 to ruin my watch the additional expense is probably justified if you like the watch.I will probably explore if my first Skagen watch can be economically repaired but as of now I have a new watch that works perfectly.I like the style, colour, the slimness of the watch body and how comfortable it is to wear on the wrist. This is a replacement Skagen watch, first one from Amazon went faulty and was only working intermittently. Which is unusual for Skagen, as I have had other Skagen watch's with no problems at all, but Amazon return and replacement service was quick and efficient and I got this replacement in 3 days of contacting Amazon. Good service.This is a very elegant watch but strangley difficult to read the time because although it has a large face the hands are short and slim. They really need to be a few mm longer. The autoday change at midnight is unbelievably slow. The knob to change the time is very small and smooth so makes it difficult to adjust the day date or time. This watch is a bit over styled but under designed for effective use as a watch.This watch was a present and I wrapped it up and gave it to my son. When he opened it and set the time it did not work. I tried to contact the seller but there was no way, no number or email. I decided to get a battery for the watch as there was no more watches the same available and thankfully it worked. Just cost me £22.00 for the new battery at to get it sealed correctly. Not good service at all.One week in and I am very happy with the watch - looks smart but not flashy and the strap is very comfortable. Quite a few reviewers have reported issues with the clasp but provided you follow the supplied instructions it seems to work well and is very secure. There are a couple of unexpected “quirks”. First one I noticed is that when I pulled the crown out to set it to the correct day of the week, I accidentally overshot the day I was looking for and the day name started to appear in French - i.e. “MAR” instead of “TUE”. I simply wound backwards to return to the English day name. There is nothing in the instructions about this so it was completely unexpected. Secondly, as you’ll see from the photo with this review the “SUN” is marked in red rather than black. This is not a problem for me......just completely unexpected.It really is a good looking watch but the crown is very temperamental. When pulling out one has to push hard on it to turn day of week and date. Can't read latter easily, no problem with the former. Only had for one day but sometimes the day of the week doesn't change when I am using the crown, will look at it again.
