Review on πŸ‘¨ Men's Skagen Connected Stainless Smartwatch with Touchscreen by Mario Beaklini

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good smartwatch and great looks

The battery in the watch is OK. I have seen a number of complaints and they do not seem to me to be justified. I understand that the battery life of this watch is lower compared to other watches, but it's not useless or inconvenient. I charge it at night, use it all day at work with everything on. I'll practice later. When I'm in the shower after a workout, I charge it for about 20 minutes and it drops from 16% to 70%. This continues for the rest of the night. If they charge slower then I think it would be a battery issue but they charge so fast it doesn't really matter. The hours you receive them for the first time are disappointing to say the least. What happens is that when you first turn it on, the watch is overwhelmed with lots of updates, downloads, installations, etc. Give your watch a few hours. Once everything is up to date and on the latest version of Wear OS, everything is responsive. The backlog stops. The immunity goes away. The clock becomes very clean, beautiful and responsive. I have no issues with app loading times or anything like that. No issues with boot time including turning on the display etc. Again, all of those things are gone once the watch finishes its update. This problem also happened to my friend's smartwatch which uses Wear OS. So it's not uncommon or specific to this watch. This is an issue with all smartwatches that don't use 2018 or newer hardware. Included. Since I would have liked a watch that didn't need to be recharged a bit during the day and didn't slow down during the setup phase, I gave it 4 stars instead of 5.

Pros
  • Case size: 40mm; Band Size: 20mm; interchangeable with all Skagen 20mm straps; Easily change your watch band with quick release pins. Wear OS by Google works with phones running Android 6.0+ (except Go version) and iOS 10.0+. Supported features may vary by platform and country.
Cons
  • So far so good
