This is the first time I have purchased a Skagen watch. I have always heard good things about them and finally took the plunge to buy one for myself. I love the looks of this one. The watch face is very pretty and its size is perfect for me. It is not overly large, which works for my wrist. The band is very nice. Be aware that the band (and the way it attaches) is not typical for a leather band. It may be a little difficult to find a replacement. I am sure you can purchase it directly through Skagen; but it may be more pricey. I like it well enough to take the chance and go the extra expense if necessary when the time comes although I doubt that it will be anytime soon. It looks substantial enough to last quite a while. I am very happy with my purchase and feel the watch was well worth the price.
