1... I took the watch to a jeweler to replace the battery. Cost me $15.00 dollars
2... After few hours it stopped working. The jeweler put the battery to test and proved that it was the watch not the battery
3... Kept the receipt and the Skagen booklet. Mailed it to Skagen for repair. Skagen did not charge me for service but skagen charged me $9.00 dollars for handeling
4... Had to pay postal service $4.00 to ship it to Skagen
5... When I received it back from Skagen, it was working fine but could see water spots
6... All other Skagens that I purchased, I gave it away as gift so it never got to the point that I had to replace the battery. The experience shows me that to replace a battery professionally then deal with defective seal which I had to send it out to Skagen for repair, which they did not fix and returned it back with water spots which must be the sign of moisture and a bad seal when infact Skagen checked on their repair paperwork that they had fixed the seal, and with total cost of 15+4+9=$28 dollars trying to repair, Skagen is worthless after the battery dies. Furthermore Skagen deemands that you send out a check for shipping and handling which they will not be liable if you are not a resident of Reno where their repair shop is and you can not sue or reverse charges if charged to a credit card. Bunch of crooks.
