I bought this watch for myself for my birthday, in November '09. I started wearing it and loved it IMMEDIATELY. The watch is beautiful, I adore the design (specifically the wrist band), and it's wonderful. A couple of days ago I noticed while putting it on the time was off by 25 minutes, and about an hour ago I noticed it's dead.

I've read thru other Amazon user's reviews, and it seems like the constant fault of this company is their customer service. I'm afraid to send it in to Skagen due to this. I tried calling Skagen's customer service numbers, one from the documentation that comes with the watch and another from their website, but both gave me busy signals. This did not help my anxiety about sending it in.

I knock a single star off my review for this reason only. I don't understand how the battery could be drained so fast, even if it had been on a shelf for a while before being shipped to me. Watch batteries should last quite a while longer than this. Otherwise, this is a great watch, that's very light and comfortable for that reason. It's beautiful and an eye catcher, as well.
