Love the blue dial and solar charge
By ZeroCool
I'm very happy with this wrist watch. The blue dial is a pleasure to look at and the convenience of solar charging should hopefully mean that I will never have to take this watch in for a battery change. Since most of the watch size etc. specifications are listed on Skagen's website in good detail I'm not going to repeat them here. The stuff that is missing is details of the charging time and what happens to the watch when it looses power. I have uploaded 3 photos to the product gallery which show the relevant details from the watch manual.In sunny conditions, the watch needs 16.9 hours for a full charge and 6 minutes for 1 days operation. With indoor fluorescent lighting those numbers are 484 hours and 2.8 hours. So make sure your watch gets enough sun exposure, I usually just keep it close to the windows when not in use and it has not given me any trouble in the one month I have owned it. Also when the watch looses power it should warn you by moving the seconds hand every 2 seconds instead of 1 second. I'm not sure of how these stats compare with other solar watches. One more thing, the hour and minute hand as well as all the 10 minute markers glow in the darkNow if only they made a version in black with titanium and swiss movement.UPDATE:I have been trying to find out how long this watch can run in the dark after a full charge since Skagen does not include that information. But since they mention that it uses a Miyota Japanese movement I searched to see what all solar movements are made my Miyota. It turns out that only one solar movement is listed on Miyotas webpage and looking at the pdf files posted there, it seem that the solar cell shape on this Skagen watch matches it. So my best guess is that this watch uses a Miyota 5L81 3 hands solar movement which can run upto 5 months after full-charge. I tried including links to the specification for that movement but Amazon fudged them up, so search for the words "Miyota 5L81 solar movement" on google without the quotes to find the pdf.

Cover is Faulty
By Robert
Be very careful with this watch. I have owned numerous watches and never had a problem with smashing the case. I ordered this watch first nearly a year ago, but somehow inadvertenly the cover was smashed with crystal shattered. I loved it so much I decided to just order another one as the wait time at their servicing center is EXCESSIVE. Then the exact same thing happend to that watch is well. I think the crystal cover must be faulty on this line and sadly will not be purhcasing from them again.
