This is a review of Skagen Men's 856XLSLC Skagen Denmark White & Black Multifunction Watch.  In my opinion the rating given a product should primarily reveal its usability to the customer.  For this reason I am rating the watch 3 stars, which I think is generous.

- the watch is attractive and appears well made but it leaves a lot to be desired in usability
- the three multi-function dials cannot be easily read without the use of a magnifying glass. Trifocals don't work.  I would have preferred a larger date and day, leaving off the time, which is unnecessary as it merely duplicates what the hands tell you in much larger form.
- the image of the watch is misleading as there is a lot of watch that is thicker than the advertised 7mm.
- the ring on the edge of the face appears black but is actually silver.  You can make it any color you desire by turning it in weird positions and letting it reflect of the color of the shirt you may be wearing.

I own another Skagen which has given me excellent service for over a year. With this one I just need to remember what the date is because I don't plan on carrying a magnifying glass with me to check it out. Attractive watch and based on the history of my first one, it should be dependable but saying it is very usable would be a stretch.
