  • Inconsistent fitness and health tracking, with some users reporting inaccurate heart rate and step counts during workouts
  • Limited smart features compared to standard smartwatches, lacking NFC, a microphone, and GPS
  • The E-ink display can be difficult to read in low light without manually activating the backlight
  • Notification management can be finicky; for instance, clearing alerts on the phone does not always sync with the watch

Verdict

The Skagen Jorn Hybrid HR is an elegant minimalist smartwatch that combines physical mechanical hands with a 1.09-inch always-on E-ink display (218 ppi) housed in a 38mm or 42mm stainless steel case. Key technical specifications include a PPG heart rate sensor, SpO2 monitoring, 3 ATM water resistance, and a remarkable battery life lasting up to 14 days, with fast charging capable of reaching 80% in 50 minutes. Its main strengths lie in its sophisticated Scandinavian aesthetic, highly readable display in direct sunlight, and discreet notification system that moves watch hands to prevent obstructing text. However, notable drawbacks include a lack of built-in GPS (relying on tethered smartphone GPS instead), the absence of a speaker or microphone for calls, and reported issues with screen fogging during high-intensity exercise.
