Review on ⌚ Skagen Fisk Dive-Inspired Stainless Steel 38mm Watch: Rotating Top Ring, Enhanced Lume, Screw-down Crown by Angela Rodriguez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Beautiful stylish fully functional watch for work or play.

I still have a Skagen and once you have it you will be a fan. The other was a classic design for international travel. This particular design is ultra modern but on the other hand quite retro as it reminds me of the Timex Expedition. I needed something durable, waterproof and impact resistant. I wanted this for both work and play without worrying about ruining it if I drop it or unexpectedly submerge it in water. The dial diameter of this watch is approximately 1-1/2 inches including the bezel. I don't really like watches with large faces so this watch is perfect. On the other hand, I want to see the time and don't need fine decoration. I needed something fully functional and this watch is exactly that. At work, I can mark the time of my work when I'm working on my computer, but when I'm working with paper I have to write down the time. It's a lot easier to have a decent watch ready. The mechanism and watch are Japanese but the strap is made in China. Fans will debate the pros and cons of Japanese versus Swiss movements, but I'm no watch expert. The modern look is great and the movement is spot on. No annoying tick, tick, tick that can disturb when the room is quiet. The strap is easy to adjust on the wrist. There is a very simple one minute tutorial on YouTube that shows you how to adjust the strap. If you don't like the metal strap, you can easily replace it. They have a quick release pin mechanism that most department stores are used to. If you follow the sales, you can buy this watch at a pretty cheap price. Skagen is a highly respected company that stands behind their products. There is no training booklet, but a website is listed where you can find information about the watch. A phone number is also provided for more information. The watch comes in a simple but elegant gift box.
