Cleaning Your Skagen Watch
Skagen proposes the following solutions for cleaning metal and crystal surfaces:
3:1 solution of ammonia based window cleaner to water
4:1 solution of rubbing alcohol to water.
Do not use soap products.
These suggested solutions will evaporate cleanly from metal and glass surfaces. Soap will leave residue behind when dry.
To clean the case and crystal:
Moisten a soft cloth with one of the above solutions. Gently wipe the case and crystal clean. Be careful not to put too much stress on the crystal as you clean. *NEVER immerse or soak the case/crystal percentage of the watch, disregarding of water resistance rating. Moisture could seep past the seals over time.
To clean the band or strap:
Skagen soft mesh bands are without apparent effort adjustable. Simply insert a little screwdriver or similar tool into the clasp. Lift up the clasp without applying pressure to the thin pin throughout the clasp and move to desired position. Snap closed securely. Make sure the clasp is set in one of the indentations on the back of the band. Link bands are altogether adaptable anyplace watches are serviced.
Skagen proposes the following exercises for cleaning metal, rubber and leather surfaces:
Metal watchbands
Dip a cotton swab in the above solution, and gently rub it into the soiled percentage of the band. For more intricate mesh bands, you may want to use a soft bristle toothbrush or nailbrush. Be sure to cover the case of the watch for the duration of this procedure so as not to soak it. For stubborn soil, you may want to fetch it to a jeweler for a professional cleaning.
Rubber watchstraps
Simply wipe them down with a damp, soft cloth. Avoid soaps and solvents as they may arid or crack the plastic.
Leather watchstraps: Top Grain
Top grain leather may be characterized by it is smooth, more or less shiny appearance. To clean this type of leather, follow the same routine as with the rubber watchband. Simply wipe it clean with a damp cloth, using water only. You may want to use leather conditioner or a little amount of hand lotion to keep the leather supple over time. Top grain leather may construct a milky “haze” if left alone for extended periods. This may merely be wiped away or got rid of with leather conditioner.
Leather watchstraps: Nubuck
This is fundamentally full grain leather with the top layer shaved off, leaving a flat, smooth finish. A product called a “nubuck eraser” may be found at better shoe repair shops. It will aid to remove most light stains and debris from nubuck.

 sleek and refined and tasteful design
By Building contractor
sleek and graceful design
the picture doesn’t do it justice, the stainless steel is highly polished and the mother of pearl face gives off pretty colors in altering lighting.
the band is comfortable, effortlessly adjusted and the clasp is very sturdy.
the crystal is very clear and the face is easy to read, there is no second hand though, if that worries you.
it’s very thin and light weight as far as size, a nickel utterly covers the crystal and a quarter will cover the entire body including the knob, so if you put a nickel on top of a quarter you may get an idea of the size and the thickness of the entire watch.

easy to read plus refined and tasteful design
By Mini Driver
This is my fifth Skagen watch. (I wear all of them on dissimilar occasions.) I love the clean Danish design and the ease and durability of all of my Skagen watches. I purchased this one because I may read the time more effortlessly than on my little dress watch and more precisely than on my watches without 12 hour-markers. Skagen makes women’s watches with big dials and others with very little ones. There aren’t some in between. This one is little sufficient to look good on my little wrist but big sufficient to read easily. And did I say I love the combining of the silver hands and markers with the glimmery mother-of-pearl face? Very classy and elegant.

 Graceful and functional
By Caryatid
This is the third Skagen watch I’ve owned. I wear my watch as my only piece of “jewelry” at work, this is often workplace requirement for me, yet no matter how grubby I feel and look, the Skagen watch is graceful and makes me feel attractive, without being flashy. Mother of pearl face is subtle, doesn’t show up well in this photo, but is very pretty.
The mesh wristband is great. It doesn’t ever get sweaty and sticky on my skin like leather watch bands.
I wish this model had a second hand. Also, be careful regarding getting the watch wet. Like most “water resistant” watches, it is okay to get a splash of water or rain on it, but I wouldn’t commend submerging it in water. This is not a real “heavy duty” watch, serves my purposes in helthcare, but would be careful regarding wearing it while doing any intense outdooer work. Wristband adjustment may be a little tough. Could be my problem, and I prefer adjusting myself rather of taking it to a jeweler to get links removed!
Amazon selection and prices for Skagen’s are excellent, superior to the big division stores.
