SkagenFreja Watch for Women, Quartz Movement with Stainless Steel or Leather Strap

My wrist is really small and so finding metal watches (rather than leather or plastic) is pretty difficult since they always need adjusting. I had been searching for several days/weeks online (I wanted to make an informed decision) and came across this watch - I had wanted to have a mesh watch for quite some time but didn't want to go into stores during the pandemic. I wanted a small clock face and light strap. This watch is perfect - so easy to adjust the strap size and put on! Some other reviews said that the strap was really hard to adjust or easy to break - so long as you are careful, like any other watch, it'll be fine. I had it sorted in 5 minutes and I've never had a mesh strap before (though I did try one on once in a store several years ago) - just follow the instructions that come with it. I used a flat head screwdriver as recommended and that was super easy. Since my wrist is small, I adjusted it several times to get the exact right fit - each time was easy to adjust.In terms of setting the time, it is a little bit fiddly to turn the knob - you have to be quite precise and hold it firmly (I'd say it was more fiddly than the strap lol) but once it is set, you don't really have to worry about it again. It is still straightforward.The watch strap feels light (which is a must for me) but the watch still has that expensive, luxurious feel. The clock face is a bit weightier - at least for someone who has quite boney wrists like me - but it is still light by comparison to other watches I've had.If there was anything that might irritate you, if you're thinking about buying any watch with a mesh strap, the part of the strap which you adjust goes underneath the strap. e.g. unlike when you take the links out of a metal link watch, you don't get rid of the extra part of a mesh strap when you adjust it... instead, it goes underneath the strap. Hope that makes sense. It's not that big of a deal for me.It is quite minimalist but definitely makes a statement. I'd recommend this product based on wearing it today - I plan to use this watch everyday.

I first saw a Skagen watch three years ago when visiting Bath and purchased it for my wife as a Christmas present. That same watch is still going strong and has been worn on a daily basis and shows little sign of wear, even the mineral glass is virtually scratch free.I saw this watch and felt another Christmas moment coming on, particularly as my wife has become very fond of rose gold over the past few years and has a number of pieces of jewellery now manufactured in that material. I would add that this watch is just plated, however, it will match nicely with her other items.So what do you receive? Out of the packing is a gift box containing the watch: the watch is very much Scandinavian and minimalistic design, however the size and shape I think are made more feminine through the thin watch body and strap. From a aesthetic perspective, whilst quite reasonably priced, the watch is very stylish and could be worn equally as a daily watch, or as an elegant accessory for a more formal setting. As a man, I feel it exudes style.The watch face is clear and simple to read: a case of less means more. It is what it is, something to tell the time. The stainless steel strap is easy to adjust and once familiar with the clasp is simple to close securely.If you want a watch, which is simple, very reasonably priced, durable yet elegant, you would be well to consider this product. It comes with a 2 year warranty as standard and purchasing from Amazon costs considerably less than it did from a jeweller in Bath!Highly recommended for those for who watches don’t have to be expensive to look great.

Things I love about this watch:- It is beautiful, very contemporary, stylish and very feminine.- It keeps excellent time.- It's a little bit different.- It is comfortable to wear, slimline and smooth.- Everytime I look at it, I feel pleased that I bought it.The things I was mildly miffed about:- No instructions re clasp use or strap length adjustment come with this watch.Clasp issues:- Nothing abnormal detected so far, no slipping, loosening or falling off...this was something that concerned me about the watch prior to purchase, as it seemed to be the only major complaint about it, however, I think if you adjust the strap so it is a reasonably snug fit (not so it cuts off circulation of anything, just so it's not flopping about on your wrist)the clasp actually works very well and is a clever design. Personally, I like to wear watches so they stay in one spot, so this arrangement suits me fine.Strap adjustment:It took me a while to work out how to adjust the length of the strap, but once you know how, it's no problem...So here's how:- Lay the watch on the table, face up, with the clasp end in the open position, pointing away from you.- You should see a small, rectangular hole situated on top of the sled mechanism (which acts as a jammer to stop the watch adjusting itself at random).- Using a small enough implement, eg. small scissors, or a screw driver from a lense repair kit, gentley lever up the sled mechanism by inserting whatever you are using for the job, and gentely pushing downwards.- There will be a small amount of resistence, but then it should pop up like a car bonnet and allow you to slide it into the prefered position. Once you've adjusted it, just push it back down firmly and it should lock back into place.I love this watch, it is my first Skagen watch, and I am very impressed! Hope this reveiw has been useful!

This brand make exceptional watches. I already own one so knew the style would suit my petite wrist well. This one is very smart, understated, classy and sleek. My only issue is that the face doesn't sit flush to the strap so sticks up a little, just concerned it may get snagged on things and get scratched. My other Skagen watch sits more flush to the wrist.

I LOVE SKAGEN WATCHES.LIKE THIS ONE ESPECIALLY AS i HAVE VERY SMALL SLIM WRISTS AND IT FITS PERFECTLY.LOVE THE WATCH FACE IT DRESSY AND PRACTICAL

Great style with no fuss strap , delighted

Beautiful watch with gold/silver. Matches all my jewelry. Only watch that keeps accurate time on my body.

This is my third Skagen watch in the last seventeen years and I will continue to be a return customer. The quality and design features are absolutely unbeatable compared to similarly priced products. I have very sensitive skin and the steel mesh band is a must. If you are sensitive to nickel or prone to contact dermatitis, this should be a good option for you. It's flexible, breathes well, and never feels damp even if you like a tighter strap. I'm also a teacher, so digging out my smart phone to check time throughout the day is awkward and time consuming (no pun intended). At work, I also tend to whack my watch on surrounding objects on a regular basis, especially the edge of the board. Not only is Skagen super durable, it has a streamlined, smooth design all over (what initially attracted me to this brand) cutting down considerably on how often I snag it on things. The clasp is very secure, and easy to adjust to a specific wrist size, without any annoying links to remove or add. It's kept time perfectly and the batteries have lasted from three to five years apiece. If you're thinking of gifting (I gave one to each of my parents), it will arrive beautifully packaged and looking sharp. Definitely recommend Skagen.

good value and looks great

I love this watch. This is my second one. Same style, colour, design. I like that it is slimline and small faced, but it is still easy to read the dial. It can be dressy and casual, all at the same time.
