Maintaining Your Skagen Watch

Ensure that the crown is returned to the normal operating position before the
watch comes in contact with water.
Do not take your watch into a Hot Tub or Sauna.
Under normal conditions, the seals in your Skagen watch will deteriorate and
may need to be replaced every 2-3 years.
Have your Skagen watch serviced by an official service center.

Skagen soft mesh bands are easily adjustable. Simply insert a small screwdriver or similar tool into the clasp. Lift up the clasp without applying pressure to the thin pin across 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 completely adjustable anywhere watches are serviced.

All Skagen watches operate with standard batteries. When necessary, any jeweler can replace them for you. Different models are water resistant to varying degrees. Please refer to the back of your watch for the water resistant rating.
