I love my watch! I had thought about getting a smartwatch but preferred the aesthetic of classic, vintage watches. I didn't know this one existed but was told about Skagen watches by a friend for their elegant and classic designs. When I looked on their website and saw this one was also a smartwatch I couldn't believe it. I only wanted something that could count my steps and use as an alarm so it's perfect for me. I also have family in England so the different time zone setting is great for me. If you're interested in a heart rate monitor/more fitness abilities, or being able to text/call from your watch then this isn't for you. If you love classic watches then it's the closest you'll get! No-one believes it's a smartwatch either.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I received this watch for Christmas and I've already had to pay to get it fixed twice for the same issue. The screw holding the band to the face of the watch has come off twice. Due to the limited warranty, I had to pay for the shipping of the item and the labor for them to fix it. Not a problem if it actually worked, but it didn't. Not even 3 weeks later the same screw came out. The watch is very pretty and works well, but the quality of the watch is not good. Would not recommend.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I love this watch! Beautifully crafted and elegant. I would definitely buy this again! I'm not sure whether the tracking is completely accurate but I didn't really get it for that function.
I was looking for an analog watch that was also a basic fitness tracker (steps/activity and sleep) and this met the requirements. I was worried about the size of the dial, since it is bigger than my normal "ladies" watch, but it is okay.
I haven't worn this enough to truly test the fitness tracker element, but the notifications for incoming calls and texts is very cool and subtle. The style is also very sleek, although the face is a bit bigger than I was hoping for. Absolutely nothing to complain about though. It's a great hybrid and I'm very pleased with the purchase. Will absolutely recommend to others.
I am sorry I wanted to love my watch...battery wasn't working and I have used a Fitbit for almost 6 yrs and the readings on the Skagen were 30% lesser...extremely frustrating.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We're sorry to hear you're having this issue with your Hybrid Smartwatch. Please email us at social@skagen.com so we can assist you further.
I was looking for something a little more tradition looking that still had some smartwatch\fitness watch abilities and this iswatch fits the bill to a T!!
So I wanted a hybrid watch mainly to help me keep silent alarms to remind me to take medicine (6 times a day) without everyone around noticing. The app that goes with this is far superior to Nokia and has lots of customization options. I thought the dial moving for notifications would be confusing but it's super straightforward (I have it set so family contacts me dial moves to 3 and work dial moves 9). The buttons are discrete and I use the large one for goal tracking which i absolutely love. It's like clicker training for yourself. I think the step tracking is fairly accurate but I dont have a comparison. I love that it isnt bulky and can be dressed up or down. Its lightweight and the face is perfectly sized. It just looks like a nice watch. Honestly one of the best purchases I've made for my self, the alarms for my meds have dramatically reduced my stress. And my goal tracker is reminding me to do things to take care of myself.
