Skagen's are known for being really really thin which have grown on me ever since my first one (Skagen Men's 433LSL1 Slim Brown Leather Watch). They are really great time keepers, and the simple watch face allows the wearer to easily tell what time it is (afterall, isn't that the point of a watch?) If I wanted to bash someone's teeth out or wear a mini astrolabe, I'd buy a breitling chronograph. The price is also a fantastic buy, especially for a college student like me.
