Wood is one of my favourite materials. We have oak furniture all around our house, and I just love the way it looks and feels. But I must admit, I’d never considered a wooden wrist watch until recently.
JORD, who make stunning wooden wrist watches, contacted me to see if I’d like to review one of their watches*. Having checked their gorgeous Instagram account, I jumped at the chance. I’m so glad I did, after this beauty was delivered:
Isn’t it beautiful? The watch arrives on a little herringbone pillow, in a pretty wooden box. It comes with a cleaning cloth, instructions and some extra links, and I couldn’t wait to get it on my wrist!
All About My Wooden Wrist Watch
I chose the gorgeous Fieldcrest Zebrawood and Maple Wooden Wrist Watch, which is $139 (about ยฃ105) with free worldwide shipping. I’ve never bought a watch online before, but JORD make it easy, with a print out you can use to measure your wrist. I have really skinny little wrists so I also measured an old watch of mine to compare to the case measurements on the website, as I didn’t want to get one that would be way too big for my hand. I love a chunky watch but I didn’t want to go overboard!
The watch fits perfectly, but they also sent a couple of extra links, so if it had been too small, I could add them in. It goes really well with my coral nail varnish and bracelets, so I have been wearing it every day. You can dress it up, or down so it is a great all rounder.
The watch comes from America and took two and a half weeks to arrive, but it was so worth the wait, especially as delivery is free.
Wooden Wrist Watch Details
The watch is really well made, and so comfortable. Compared to my old metal watch, it’s a dream to wear – lovely and light, and I don’t have to take it off when I’m typing. As I am trying to live a more sustainable life, I love that it is made from wood, a natural, renewable material.
I’ve been styling my watch with plenty of coral accessories and I think it’s the perfect look for late summer.
I’ve had lots of complements, and people are very keen to try it on!
Wow! This is simply stunning and I really love how it looks against your coral accessories. I love the softness of the wood rather than a metal watch. Thank you for sharing with #bigpinklink x
Thanks so much Hannah, I agree it’s a lovely change from metal! xx
Sooo gorgeous and so unique x #bigpinklink
Thanks so much Emma, I love it xx
Wow that is stunning – I love the idea of a wooden watch and what an amazing traditional wedding anniversairy present that would make. Gorgeous pictures too ๐ #EatSleepBlogRT
Oooh yes I hadn’t thought of the anniversary present idea – very good point! They do men’s too so you could get his ‘n’ hers xx

I’ve seen these before and they look stunning. I’ve been tempted by one myself but I’m worried I would scratch it… #TwinklyTuesday
I think you’d be OK Angela, it seems very sturdy, I don’t think it would be too easy to damage. Also as it’s a natural material, it might even look better with a few dents! xx
What a beautiful watch and you’ve styled it so well! I want your shoes and bracelet ๐

Ah thanks Stevie, it’s perfect for summer but I think it will also look good the rest of the year too! xx
Oh I totally need to check these watches out for my wood obsessed carpenter husband!
Ooh yes you should, the men’s watches are just as amazing Sarah! xx
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a wooden watch like this before – it is beautiful! I love how you have styled it too!
Thanks so much Maria, I hadn’t seen one before either but I want more in different woods now! xx
This is gorgeous. I have seen and heard about these watches and they look so fantastic. I love your one. the photography os great too!
Thanks Angela, I really love it and I think it would be impossible to take a bad photograph of it! xx
Oh I love it, it’s so unusual and really eye catching. It looks great on you ๐
Thanks so much Laura, I am so pleased with it, and as you say it’s really unusual, which I love. xx
That watch is absolutely gorgeous! x
Thanks so much Donna, I LOVE it! xx
Ohh, I am really dissapointed. I have an allergy to most metals and when I saw this post I thought brilliant, but I can see from the pictures that is has a large metal clasp. #TwinklyTuesday
Ah sorry you’re disappointed Tracey, but yes it does have a metal clasp. That’s a shame for you,a s the back is not metal. So near yet so far. Good luck in finding something suitable xx
Oh my I really love it ๐

I’ve always LOVED the look of these JORD watches.
I so want one for myself. Perfect for the late summer/autumn transition too!
Thanks Sarah, I totally agree, I’ll be wearing it all year long! xx
