Their thinner models (the only ones worth having IMO) are quite fragile.
I used to own a Skaagen and I can confirm their fragility. They are nice-looking watches, but the one I owned had a glass face; it developed a crack and shattered after less than a year's worth of use. If the face had been sapphire crystal, which is much harder, I doubt this would have happened.

FYI - Sapphire crystal will actually break more easily than a mineral crystal (speaking in relative terms here; both are quite difficult to break). The advantage that sapphire offers is superior scrath resistance as compared to mineral crystal.
I have this one, but with the gunmetal face (though I plan to get the white as well). And yes, the crystal cracked and I had to have it replaced, but at $40 for the watch, that's ok. I liked the style, and I really enjoy how comfortable the band is. I truly dislike metal lug bands, so this is as close as I'll get to that.
