Guide to Buying a Wood Watch
2
The biggest trend in 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 Koa, Mahogany, Rosewood, or
Sandalwood. Beware of steel watches that merely
have a veneer of wood glued on top. Dont settle
for metal when you can have a solid wood watch.

2.The watch movement should be premium quality.
The best movements used in wood watches are made
by a reputable watch company like Miyota or
Citizen. If the retailer cannot verify which
company made the movement for its wood watch,
steer clear. You dont want a watch that is not
going to keep good time. 3.A wood watch must
be stylish. Some companies create wood watches
that look are clunky and bulky. These cheap wood
watches look like something Fred Flintstone would
wear. Buy a wood watch from a reputable company
that features a wide variety of wood watches for
men and women in all different styles. Martin
MacArthur and Tense are examples of two such
companies with stellar reputations.

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 best
wood watches are comfortable to wear. The links
are carved and sanded smooth. There is minimal
space between the links. The color of the wood
matches perfectly. 6.The best wood watches are
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
wrist 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.
