I ordered the Skagen Men's 809XLTTM Carbon Fiber Dial Titanium Watch because I wanted a Titanium watch, I liked the carbon fiber dial, I liked the mesh band, and because it was thin and very nice looking.  It is a beautiful watch but I have decided to go back to my inexpensive Timex because it is very hard to read. There is very little contrast between the hands and the dial and I have to stare at the watch for two to three seconds to tell the time. Younger people whose eyes still focus easily  at close distances my not have quite the frustration I have.  I can see the time on the Timex in 1/2 second. Three seconds is along time if your are driving.  I still think the watch is one of the nicest looking I have ever seen, but it is impractical. They need to add some contrast to the hands. I would like to send this back to Skagen and have them put hands on it I can see.
