Received Skagen watch Order No: W256417 today. Mesh Band is too long for me. I do not understand step 2 of instructions Ray Reeves

I am facing the same issue as you. I have a Skagen 311LTRB watch without a band. I purchased the watch without a band, so I don't even know what the original band looks like.

It seems strange to me that Google doesn't even find that model of Skagen watch when you search on the model number. Makes me wonder if the watch is fake or real.

What I did was purchase an 18 mm mesh band and two pins from the following seller on eBay: "BandFever" / "18mm SILVER MESH WATCH BAND,COMES WITH 2 SPRING BARS". It only cost $12.95 with free shipping.

After installing the band, I am now able to wear the watch. And it feels very comfortable with the mesh band. However, it looks a littly dorky because there are overhangs on each side of the watch where the bands attach. I keep wondering what the watch appeared like when it was new with its original band.

Wish I could paste an image of the watch, but that doesn't seem to be allowed.

Hi there. Insert the mesh strap inside the hole and secure with the hook and clip fastening with a foldover security clasp.

Hope this one helps.

You can find generic bands on Ebay or do a Google search for mesh bands. They come in various widths usually in millimeters so you have to measure the width between the lugs where the band connects to the case of the watch. Do a Google search for nomenclature of what a lug is on a watch if you do not know what I mean.
