I love this watch. I never even heard of Skagen until I went looking for watches on Amazon after I got a Gift card. They were by far the finest looking watches I saw, and I looked at all brands. Very classy, modern and sharp. This was my favorite one and Im glad I got it. I went to see if there was one available locally so I could see what it looked and felt like, but I could not find this model. The ones I looked at impressed me though. I found the small dials a little hard to read (Im 62) but when I got this one I did not have that problem The dial color is a very dark gray(almost black) and the finish on the band and case is a brushed metal. The setting stem does not stick out like in the picture. The watch is very light and it feels like Im not wearing a watch at all. VERY comfortable. I have a small wrist and removed two of the links to give me a perfect fit. Note: the first few links on the band are solid and the others are flexable but not much, so if you have a wide wrist it might not lay flat. The case shape gives the look of a very slim watch because it is only thick in the middle. Overall I would recomend this highly.
