Third-party reviews

What customers like about Skagen Jorn Gen 6 Hybrid

  • Elegant, minimalist Scandinavian design that resembles a traditional analog watch
  • Excellent battery life, typically lasting up to two weeks on a single charge
  • Always-on E Ink display that remains highly visible even in direct sunlight
  • Highly customizable watch face complications and physical button shortcuts
  • Comfortable and interchangeable 22mm straps, including exercise-friendly options
  • Fast charging capability, reaching 80% in approximately 50 to 60 minutes
  • Well-designed and functional companion app for both Android and iOS

What customers don't like about Skagen Jorn Gen 6 Hybrid

  • Software and UI navigation can feel slow, clunky, and unresponsive
  • Occasional screen fogging issues under the glass during temperature changes or exercise
  • Biometric sensors (heart rate and SpO2) can be inconsistent or inaccurate during intense activity
  • Lack of built-in GPS, requiring a tethered connection to a smartphone for location tracking
  • Limited smart features compared to full smartwatches (no NFC payments, microphone, or third-party apps)
  • Small text on the E Ink display can be difficult to read for some users
  • Notifications can sometimes be cut off or feel awkward to scroll through

Verdict

The Skagen Jorn Gen 6 Hybrid is a minimalist smartwatch available in 38mm and 42mm stainless steel cases, featuring physical analog hands layered over an always-on 1.1-inch E-ink display with a 240 x 240 resolution. Key technical specifications include a PPG heart rate sensor, SpO2 (blood oxygen) monitoring, an accelerometer, 3 ATM water resistance, and Amazon Alexa built-in, all powered by a battery that lasts up to two weeks (42mm) or one week (38mm) on a single charge. Its main pros are the classic Scandinavian design, readable display in direct sunlight, and exceptional battery life compared to full smartwatches. However, notable cons include the lack of built-in GPS (it uses tethered GPS), no NFC for contactless payments, and occasional screen fogging issues reported by some users.
