I love the look of this watch, but it does not hold up to daily wear.  The plating does wear quickly on the band-- not as quickly as someone else commented, but I've had this watch for only a year and I'm looking for another.  I am also allergic to the steel under the plating which is now exposed.  So, everytime I wear this watch, I end up with a rash around my wrist.

The face is lovely, and I might take this to a jeweler for a different band.  I'm disappointed, as Skagen is supposed to be a fine watch company.
