How much should I pay for my wood watch?

Decision made, you're investing in a wood watch. But how much should you pay for your wood watch? Here's some things to look for through the process:

The Quality of the Wood

A key factor that will determine the price of your wood watch is the quality and type of the wood used. High-quality woods like sandalwood or maple may come with a higher price tag, but also rare woods such as Zebrawood & Chacate preto may cary a higher price tag for a different reason. We use high quality recycled furniture offcuts to craft our vegan watches. The type of wood can also affect the durability of your watch - read more on this here.

Brand Reputation

Brand can play a significant role in the pricing of your wood watch. Established brands with a strong reputation like us, may have a higher price point due to the customer service and guarantee's offered. Our brand is underpinned by a large group of happy customers, check out some of our reviews at the bottom of the FAQ's page here.

Our price is also justified by the huge impact your purchase makes on the environment in comparison with competitors - one purchase of any of our wood watches or vegan watch straps sees you making the below impact on the planet:

  • Planting 10 trees
  • Removing 250kg of carbon from the atmosphere
  • Removing 20 plastic bottles from the ocean

Features and Functionality

Consider is the features and functionality of your wood watch. Wood watches with additional features such as a chronograph functions or mechanical movements will typically have a higher price point than quartz watches.
