Review: Skagen 396LTMB Men’s Watch

For my birth­day this year, my wife got me this cool Skagen watch. It has a stain­less steel mesh band and a tita­nium body, both of which are black as a result of ion plat­ing. The mesh band is per­fect for me because it doesn’t get caught in my arm hair the way a lot of metal linked bands do, but it also doesn’t soak up sweat the way that leather bands do.

It has glow-​in-​the-​dark hands and mark­ings, a second hand, and the day of the week and month. The face is a hard­ened min­eral crys­tal, and it’s water resis­tant to 3 atmos­pheres. The clasp is a fold-​over with a second fold-​over catch, and the mech­a­nism is easily adjustable and fun to play with.

The whole thing is also incred­i­bly thin and light.

I’d say it’s prob­a­bly the per­fect watch, and easily the nicest watch I’ve ever seen. I couldn’t be hap­pier. Buy it on Amazon. And yes, that’s an order.
