I bought this watch for the obvious reason that I needed one. I was attracted by its simplicity in design, the Skagen brand, and it just looked good. After I received it the instructions weren't really needed as the watch is very easy to set-up and operate. I love the color and the nylon band. The latch that attaches the watch is adequate but could use some improvement. When you clamp it together you don't get the feeling it is secure. Even when you continue to push it close it feels like it may open and slip off your wrist. But that's not a game changer, as it only happened once. I was also looking for a watch that illuminates in the dark and the picture on Amazon's site indicated this watch had that feature. It does, but its not very bright. I find myself having to turn the light on in the middle of the night whenever I check on the time. This is the lightest watch I've ever worn and I love it. Sometimes I'm not even aware I'm wearing it unless I have to check the time. All and all it you are looking for a watch with a nice design, and not complicated, I highly recommend this one.
