Skagen Connected 2017 review: A small upgrade in both looks and function

Skagen has made another beautiful hybrid in the Jorn, with some nice smart features peppered in too. Activity tracking and notifications are very limited, and step counting is a little inconsistent, but some of the other connected functions are more useful. This is for people who want a nice watch first, and a smartwatch second.

The Skagen Jorn and Hald Connected are slimmer, smarter takes on last year’s Skagen Hagen Connected, one of my favorite hybrid smartwatches of 2016. Now back for a second swing, Skagen, one of Fossil’s subsidiaries, hasn’t made a huge overhaul but rather a few tweaks that refine, but don’t dramatically change, the analogue smartwatch experiences.

Once again, the brains are concealed by a classic watch design – even more so than last year’s model – to make this primarily about just having a really nice timepiece on your wrist. It joins Fossil’s already-beefy 2017 lineup of hybrids, along with some other enticing entrants from the likes of Michael Kors, Mark Jacobs Riley and DKNY.
