The biggest trend in wrist watches is the wood
watch. There are several companies that now offer
wood watches online and in retail stores. Many
of them look cool, but buyer beware! There are
lots of imitators that do not sell a reliable
time piece worth the investment. Heres what you
need to keep in mind when buying a wooden
watch. 1. Be sure the watch is made from solid,
sustainable wood. The links on a wood watch
should be carved from solid woods like maple,
ili-ahi, sandalwood, purple heart or Koa. Beware
of steel watches that merely have a veneer of
wood glued on top. Go for a solid wood watch! 2.
The movement should be premium quality. The best
movements used in wood watches are made by a
reputable watch company like Citizen. If the
retailer cannot verify that their wood watches
have a premium movement, choose one that
does. 3. A wood watch must be stylish. Many
novice companies create wood watches that look
are clunky and bulky. These cheap wood watches
look like something Fred Flintstone would wear.
You need to find a reputable company that
features a wide variety of wood watches for men
and women in all different styles.

4. Your watch must have a clear warranty. If you
buy a wood watch with no warranty, you have no
place to turn if it needs servicing. 5. The wood
watch must be fully adjustable to fit your wrist.
Some companies say that their wood watches are
made to be worn loose, and should not be adjusted
to your writs size. Baloney! That means the watch
is cheaply made and cannot be adjusted. Choose a
wood watch from a reputable company that is fully
adjustable to fit any size wrist. One of the
finest companies to feature their own wood
watches is Martin MacArthur. Martin MacArthur
is the longest-standing company in Hawaii known
for its fine Koa furniture and Wood personal
accessories. This company stands by their wood
watches and offers over 50 different styles,
including their newest self-winding, automatic
wood watch made from Hawaii Koa wood. Be smart
in choosing your wood watch and enjoy the time!
