What to consider when buying my wood watch?

Considering purchasing a wood watch but not sure where to start? Here are some important factors to keep in mind when buying your wood watch.

1. Material

The type of wood used in crafting wood watches, can greatly impact the overall look and feel of the watch. Consider the durability and sustainability of the wood, as well as how it looks. Our woods at The Sustainable Watch Company are reclaimed from natural wood furniture scraps. Different woods will also have different colour palettes, from Ebony black to Maple beige; think what you're going to wear your new watch with!

2. Movement

Like traditional watches, wood watches can come with different types of movements. Our watches feature Japanese Quartz or Mechanical movements. Think about which type of movement best suits your needs and preferences.

3. Comfort

Comfort is key when wearing a watch daily. Wood watches are lightweight by proxy of the materials they are crafted from. However, consider the size of the watch - the more robust the watch, the heavier. Mechanical movements will also lead to a heavier watch body than Quartz movements.

4. Water Resistance

If you plan on wearing your wood watch daily, water-resistance is key. All our watches are 3ATM water resistant as standard. This will ensure that your watch can withstand everyday activities and splashes.

5. Brand Reputation

Research the brand before making a purchase. Look for reviews, customer feedback, and the brand's commitment to quality and sustainability. A wood watch is an opportunity to get more than a unique watch, but a chance to make a positive impact on the environment. Top brands should be running initiatives that use your money for good.
