Skagen released at IFA the Skagen Falster 2, a pretty and minimalistic smartwatch with Google’s Wear OS. This minimalistic and pretty smartwatch is, however, equipped with an old chipset & short battery-life. Yet, I still love it, and here’s why. Soon on Amazon: https://goo.gl/pnAiNM
The Falster 2 Smartwatch boasts an interactive, swimproof touchscreen and a range of smart features powered with Wear OS by Google™ including: heart-rate tracking, Google Assistant, smartphone notifications, activity tracking, Google Pay, GPS and more. Choose from time- or function-based displays for easy access to your favorite features, and add your favorite third-party apps from the Google Play store. The interchangeable magnetic steel-mesh strap provides secure fastening and a comfortable fit, while a battery-efficient dial design provides up to 24 hours of use on a single charge. Each watch comes with a magnetic charger.
Wear OS by Google works with phones running Android 4.4+ (excluding Go edition) or iOS 9.3+. Supported features may vary between platforms and countries. Wear OS by Google is a trademark of Google LLC. Google Assistant and Google Pay available in select markets. To avoid damage to your watch, only use with included charger.

Great review Martijn! I was just looking into this watch, so your review is incredibly helpful.
Just a few questions:
Seeing that this watch uses a 2100 chipset and 3100 are slated to come out soon, is it best to pass up this watch?
If not, do you think it’s worth waiting for new watches to come out to diminish the price of 2100s?
Again, thanks for the great review.
this guy so awkward therefore his speech not clearly
confidence is top priority
Bought mine today for 125 dollars!
It was on discount at the Skagen store
Great video and food for thought on the watch. Just a note about the video, though – you could really benefit from some sound dampening. The reverb/spacial effect of recording in that room made it quite difficult to listen to. Some acoustic foam should work wonders 🙂
Definitively the most beautiful Wear OS smartwatch ATM. But I’m with you, 2-5mm more would have been nice. Concerning the CPU: yes, it’s getting old, but the newer 3100 seems to be not faster and just a bit more energy efficient…
so when will it be on the market?
Full walk-through please!
It’s worth to mention Misfit Vapor as it is very very similar except no NFC build in, the price is only 199 euro.
this watch looks like Fossil Q Gen 4 right?
3100 isn’t that great either..
I would love to see a more in-depth review of the watch! Thank you!
I think it is over priced, if you look at the samsung galaxy watch that is a but more expensive but way better in my opinion, or the less expensive tic watch pro that is also better, i dont think it is smart to buy this device, unless you really like the brand or design
battery sucks ! garmin fenix 5 lasts 20 days
No mention of ipx rating, speaker or mic etc. Is this really a review or joke?
Which processor is this running?
How is the whatsapp notification and alarm function?
Great review. Btw its “on spot=spot on”.
Besides the battery life and the price I think it’s actually the best looking smartwatch by right now
It sounded nice until i heard the price 🙁
I’d prefer to spend my money on the Xiaomi Amazfit Stratos / Pace 2 Smartwatch which sells for about € 150
Any more cheaper but worth buying watch for men guys?
Beautiful… But not from Xiaomi 😉
Its Fossil Q Explorist Gen 4 -__-“
This minimalistic & pretty smartwatch runs Google’s Wear OS and I love it, even though it is not perfect. What do you think of Watches with Google’s Wear OS?
Are all 3 ‘buttons’ on the side just push or does the middle one rotate?
It’s got the old chip set. Another new Wear OS watch with the dated 2100 chip. Enough said.
Does it have a speaker (if you ask google something, does it speak back) or can you make calls?
Can you make a full review of Falster 2? It will be very helpful, thanks.
90% of your video is you on the screen and not the watch….is the video about you talking about a watch or the watch itself?
