Review on Elegance in Motion: Skagen Women's Freja Stainless Steel Mesh Dress Quartz Watch by Jillian Sparks

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Stunningly beautiful, well finished, my second Skagen watch

This is a stunningly beautiful, well finished luxury Skagen watch. This is my second Skagen. I love the adjustable Skagen strap that you can adjust yourself with a precision screwdriver. Skagen tuning videos are easy to find online. It's everything you'd expect from the Skagen plus a few more luxury features than the base model. I bought my last Skagen 10 years ago and it had a solid color (silver) strap and white dial - this new one has a more luxurious fabulously textured stripe in two color stripes - the multi color stripe is not visible in the photos. To be fair it's very pretty and it's interesting to touch the texture - the gold paint stripes are a little lower than the silver ones while still being the high quality stripes you'd expect from Skagen (much better than the metal grille stripes ). sold on a Fossil Smart Hybrid watch). Mother of pearl dial, small crystals on the watch and a date window which my last Skagen didn't have. As far as I received today, you have to scroll forward to set the date the first time, and even after the end of months that have fewer than 31 days to keep the current date display. I don't really care as I wear this new watch like a fashion watch for the sake of beauty and ease of timekeeping. I have other smartwatches that I wear for tech and fitness functions (Fossil smartwatch with mesh band which is not as premium as the band). Skagen is a high quality fashion watch. I've had my last Skagen for 10 years and have only had to change the battery a couple of times. My last Skagen still works but after 10 years there are scratches and chips on the glass, could be restored if desired but I really wanted this model and so far I am very pleased.
