I've got a slightly different model of this Skagen watch (the Hagen), but it's the same size case and lug width, so I'm pretty sure they will operate identically. I've also got a Fossil hybrid smartwatch, and for whatever it's worth to anybody, Fossil makes the app for both brands. In fact, Fossil makes the apps for most brands of hybrids. I think Garmin may be the only exception. Anyway, both of my hybrids perform the same functions. The Skagen app is a little cleaner and more intuitive, but neither offer more than the very basic information about step tracking and sleep. I have given up even paying attention to those functions, though once programmed, tracking both is resident in the watch, which can store up to 30 days' worth of data, so as long as you're wearing it, it's tracking those activities and will sync with the app whenever it's launched, assuming you have Bluetooth turned on when you launch.
For the first month or so that I had the Skagen, step tracking was very consistent. I can't testify that it was accurate mind you, but it was consistent. Then one day I noticed the goal percentage monitor (the sub-dial with 25, 50, 75, 100 and hash marks in between) was showing 75% complete by about 10:00 in the morning, only a couple of hours after I'd gotten up. My normal days' steps were around 3,000 before that day. With whatever malfunction is happening, it's showing a minimum of 13,000 steps if I wear it all day. Every single motion is counted as steps, so the algorithm lost the beat apparently. Since I don't use that function anyway, I didn't see the point in invoking the warranty, and I have no idea if mine is a common problem or not, but thought I'd mention it here in any case.
Otherwise, it's a nice watch. I particularly like the find-your-phone function. A button that you can assign to the task triggers a sound file when pressed. You have to pick from Skagen's list of sound files, which I wish I could pick any on the phone, but whatever, if you forget where you set your phone down you can find it easily using that feature. It's a nice watch that I paid a little bit more than $100 bucks for, and that was for a model that MSRP is the same as this one. The "smart" features are largely useless to me, but I ain't right in the head, so don't put too much stock in that evaluation. As long as they work right, they may be just what you're lookin' for.
