What To Know When Choosing A Wooden Watch
Style
Although you would think that type of wood, which is certainly important, would be your first consideration, you really need to decide on the size, shape, and overall look first.
When thinking about wooden watches, most people envision a watch completely made from wood. This is not necessarily true. Wooden watch design has several variations.
Frequently, it is thought of as a complete wooden design, which includes the watch case and watch band. When shopping for this style, look at the continuity of the wood as it seamlessly shifts from the watch case to the watch band. Realize that the watch case is the first thing you notice and should complement the watch band design. In a similar fashion, if the watch dial is wooden, it should also fit the overall style.
A modified variation is having a wooden watch case with a leather watch band or a watch band that has stainless steel with wood intertwined.
Features
Wooden watches generally have a limited number of features available. It is the uniqueness of the wood design that makes them stand out. Having a dial that exhibits something other than basic time can be distracting. If you want more this might not be a good choice for you.
One feature that can add additional elegance to the watch is a skeleton dial. This displays some of the internal working of the watch. It is interesting to view, but at times can be overpowering and a diversion from the overall beauty.
Movement
Your choices here are mechanical or quartz. Mechanical watches have two types. Manual winding and automatic winding. Automatic watches are self-winding and have no battery. It will need to be reset if you wear it infrequently. This will only be a nuisance if you plan on wearing it every other day. Quartz watches run on batteries so do not need to be reset continuously.
If you want to be more ecologically conscientious and you are wearing it only on special occasions, automatic might be the way to go. That way you never need to worry about having to replace the battery.
Type of Wood
Wooden watches are made from a variety of different types of wood. Each type offers its own unique coloration and grain. It is truly the thing that makes a wooden watch unique.
Over time your wooden watch will develop a patina. This is partially determined by your own natural skin oils as you wear it. Wooden watches will gradually age gracefully.
With the variety and different qualities of woods that are used, the best approach in this area is to read the reviews that customers have provided regarding durability.
Wristband
Another area sometimes overlooked is the watch band itself. Wood bands are very beautiful and complement all aspects of the watch. It is important to verify that it will be adjustable to the size you need so that it properly fits.
Warranty Policy
Given the nature of wood and all the different variations it is advisable to review the warranty policy of the manufacturer. Verify what will be covered with your wooden watch.
Possible Negatives
Wood in any setting requires a little more thoughtfulness.
Occasional water splashes will probably not harm your watch. Prolonged exposure to the elements is not advisable. Wood absorbs the environment it is exposed to so there is potential to discolor or warp the wood if not careful.
If you infrequently wear your wooden watch, you should check with the manufacturer if some type of conditioning of the wood is required. Generally, not a problem, but if you want to keep your watch in top condition this is worth checking.
Wooden watches are eco-friendly and made with non-toxic hypoallergenic materials. They come in styles and designs that are beautiful and colorful.
The natural beauty of wood gives you the opportunity to select a watch that truly reflects your personality. They are truly one of a kind works of art with no two alike. Wood varieties ensure your timepiece is truly your own.
When you decide to add a wooden watch to your collection, start with the basics. When and where are you expecting to wear it. Will it be an accessory with occasional use or a daily statement of who you are.
