Navigating the world of sustainable watches: What is important?

Taking the plunge into the world of sustainable watches? Congratulations! You're about to join a community of conscious consumers that value both sustainability and style. But where to start? What should you look for when choosing a sustainable watch? This blog post is a quick 1 stop shop for the ins and outs of sustainable watches.

What makes a watch sustainable?

A sustainable watch is made with environmentally friendly materials and produced in an ethical manner. Recycled woods, plastics and metals - whatever your base of choice, you should ensure that this is renewable and designed to last. Checking descriptions for watches made from recycled or upcycled materials, such as reclaimed wood, recycled stainless steel, or even ocean plastic. These materials not only reduce waste but also give a new lease of life to the pre-used and pre-loved.

But why should the sustainability stop there?

By opting for a sustainable timepiece, you should also be supporting brands that prioritise the planet. You are making a statement that you care about where your products come from, so look for brands that take that a step further. Look for different ways your purchase can contribute to the health of our planet. Does your purchase plant trees? How much carbon is your purchase responsible for?

What else should you look for in a sustainable watch?

When shopping for a sustainable watch, look for certifications to ensure that the watch meets certain ethical and environmental standards. Consider the durability and longevity of the watch - you want something that will withstand the test of time (pun intended). And of course, choose a style that will blend seamlessly with your wardrobe.
