Customer Reviews for Skagen - Jorn Connected Hybrid Smartwatch 41mm Stainless Steel - Gunmetal

I bought this watch because I was looking for a thin, fashion-oriented smartwatch that I wouldn't have to charge every day and would give quick insights into notifications I get on my phone. The watch is 10 mm thin, which is one of the thinnest smartwatches I've seen, and it looks great. The battery per the website lasts around 6 months, depending on how many alerts you set up, which is more than acceptable to me. You are able to set up contacts or apps to show a particular direction (1-12) on the watch, so when you get that particular notification the watch vibrates and the watch hands will move to that direction. This is exactly what I wanted. This means I can ignore any notifications I haven't set up or quickly get to my phone if it is one I want. I love how you can change what the buttons do whenever you want as well. Things to improve: When showing date, the hour hand go to month, and minute hand go to day Things I wish it could do: Alarm Stopwatch Timer Accept/Reject a call Be able to locate watch from phone IFTTT support Most of these features I saw on the Kronaby watches, which are considerably more expensive. Although it's kind of mind boggling to me that this watch doesn't have an alarm(s), stopwatch, or timer. I feel these 3 features should be on every watch at this point. The other 3 advanced features would be a 5 star rating. In the end, this watch was significantly cheaper so I went with this one.
I would recommend this to a friend!

This Watch Turned Me Completely Off the Skagen Brand
on January 11, 2019
Posted by: Steve A

Let me start by saying I own 7 Skagen watches (including the Jorn hybrid). My experience with the Jorn hybrid, however, in conjunction with the tech "support" I received as follow-up, has turned me off the brand completely. I'll never buy another Skagen--ever. That Skagen are allowed to call the Jorn hybrid a "smartwatch" is laughable. Yes, I knew it had limited functionality before I bought it. And if it actually HAD the functionality it claims, I'd be happy with it. But one of the few things it claims to do it does so poorly as to render the function useless--and I'm not talking about the barely perceptible vibration it makes when notifying you of an incoming message (which you become attuned to after a couple of days). The function in question is the step counter. The step counter is about as primitive as they come. I own the base Fitbit and when I walk 100 steps, the Fitbit indicates I've walked 100 steps--every time. And it does this whether I'm walking on the sidewalk or on a treadmill. Over 10 tests with the Jorn hybrid produced a range of counted steps between 62 and 84--note, never 100. Tech Support's response was to instruct me how I should walk in order to get the best estimate of my steps. That's right--their solution to a primitive step counter is to tell you to walk differently! It seems that it really just counts the movements of your wrist. So, if you are a few steps short of your goal, make a martini using a shaker and you'll add dozens of steps to your counter while standing at your bar!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I use this watch as a fashion accessory and to enable me to keep my phone silenced. What I love about it is its long battery life, good looks, and great quality. I map most contact numbers to a couple of locations on the dial, depending on whether it's family or professional; that way I can see: someone's calling, and whether it's someone I know I care about. This works quite well. I don't rely on the activity or sleep tracking; I wear a dedicated heart rate and sleep tracking device for that at night so I get detailed and accurate data. The Jorn isn't designed for that and thus I don't use it for that. I only have a few things I would like to improve about the Jorn. First, the buckle clasp was very sharp, and I could feel it constantly pressing against my skin, until I used 320-grit sandpaper to take off the edges ever so slightly. Second, I wish it had a silent vibrating alarm: I would wear it at night for that (I had another hybrid watch with that feature and I miss it.) Third, I wish its notifications were able to vibrate for any app whatsoever. There are other smartphone watch manufacturers who have figured out how to do this feature and I really liked it. (But I decided I wanted a hybrid watch instead.) Lastly, I wish it had a second hand.

Bought to have notifications, but the vibration is so weak that most of times goes unnoticed. Time to time vibrates without reason and hands go around. I guess it syncs with the phone. It is nice not having to adjust time when travelling. Otherwise nice looking, superlight (titanium body), relatively thin smartwatch. It would be better if it had a day and date. You need to set and push a button to make hands to point to the date. The numbers so tiny I needed to use glasses to see.

I got this watch for my boyfriend as a Christmas gift and he loved it! He has been wearing it every day since. He loves watches but prefers more classic styles, he doesn't like big and chunky ones, and most of the smartwatches I saw wouldn't fit his style taste so I did some research and found the Skagen watches. He is hooked with all of the features, the app and contacts notifications, step tracker and the sleep tracker as well - I might have to get him a new one so that he has a couple of different colors since he doesn't take this off. By the way and not related to the watch, Skagen customer service team is great to work with as well and very responsive.

I got the black band with titanium case, but now wish I had ordered the tan band as its face is higher contrast and more easily understood.
