Skagen 801XLTXM Reviews

Fantastic Watch!
by Consumer Review , 2010-09-02

I have owned many Skagen watches over the years, I currently have about 15 of them. This watch (the 801XLTXM) is the nicest one to date (along with it's brother the 801XLTBXB). It is very thin, very light, and feels great on your wrist. I do not purchase any watches with Roman numerals or indices, I only purchase watches with full numbers, and this one fits the bill. This watch is simple yet elegant, and having the date display is a great bonus. I highly recommend this watch!
If there is a small downside it is the fact that you have to remove links to size the watch. I was able to do this myself and was not too difficult.

Nice looking--but breaks in a hurry!

This watch is very light, has a thin profile, and is nice to look at, but the crystal is not durable at all! I had this watch for about 1.5 months, and had normal day-to-day wear and tear (nothing too strenuous), and after placing it on my nightstand the previous evening, I woke up to find the crystal had completely shattered! I took it to a local watch-repair shop, and they said they wouldn't touch Skagen watches--not even to change the battery. Their comment was that the mechanism falls apart once the case is open, the crystal is too thin and brittle, and the face inside the crystal is too fragile to even work with (the numbers on the face are basically aluminum foil). Next step is to deal with Skagen's customer service, and hopefully to get a replacement. A refund would be nice, but I'm not holding my breath. Hopefully I can get a few more months out of the replacement--not that I'll ever get my money's worth out of this watch! I've seen other reviews on other sites about Skagen's poor quality, and wish I'd read them before buying this. Beware!

don't buy this watch

I bought this watch for birthday present for my son. After only 2 weeks of use the glas crached. The watch was on the night table, he found it in the morning with the glas splitted in pieces. So i do not recomend this watch, even about it's nice looking and acurate timing.

Very Nice

I received the Skagen Men's Titanium Black Dial Watch last week. I am very pleased with the look and feel of the watch. I was able to have the size adjusted. I have small wrists and only needed two links removed. It is very nice, thin and lightweight. the size of the face is slightly larger than I expected, but does not affect my positive opinion of the watch. I look forward to wearing it.

well pleased
