Pretty cool, though not really my style.
I do LOVE this skagen I picked up earlier this year. So awesome.
Though I need to clean the leather somehow.
> Don't worry about straps. You can easily replace them.
Not for most/all Skagens up to this point. This season it looks like they have a few that may have easily replaceable straps. Like This One. But up to this point all leather strap Skagens have had a proprietary strap that can only be replaced by mailing it back to Skagen. Also the warranty usually doesn't cover the strap/band so you have to pay for shipping and replacement and it takes approx. 3-5 weeks. And let's hope they have the same band on hand still for older model watches.
Source: It's the biggest complaint in reviews of Skagens up to this point (linked to the Skagen reviews of one of my watches - this band is the typical leather Skagen band), and has happened to me after 2 years of wear. I own 4 of the standard leather strap Skagens so far. Although the newer designs do intrigue me, as some of them may be much easier to replace.
It's not exactly the same, but this Skagen has a similar style, simple face with a funky case shape. My boss's boss has one, and I think it's sharp. These are very thin watches. This brown one is fun.
I know I'm in way over my head in this subreddit, but right now I'm mostly looking for a watch with which I can just get comfortable wearing something on my wrist, if that makes sense. I love this choice from Timex. I wouldn't really want to spend any more than this. I particularly love the strap (I wear cognac-colored brogues as well), the silver body of the watch, and the extremely simple face.
Is there another place this would be available? Or something similar available elsewhere?
The only thing that has really come close to catching my attention like this is this Skagen:

Which I feel isn't as versatile. It's also getting a little out of my price range as a college student.
the only ones i have found that resemble it are this one in brown and this one in black but i have yet to find any information on that specific watch after browsing skagen's site multiple times.
the reason why i'm looking for that one specifically is because i have a rather tanned skin tone. i felt that the brown watch looks quite odd with that color combination and the black & white one would really stick out with my skin tone. i just thought that i might have some better luck with this specific watch with its light brown/gold touches. so if any of you has any information on it, i'd really appreciate it.
EDIT: or if you have a comment regarding my sense of fashion, please don't hesitate to let me know... fashion hasn't really been my strong suit.
