One Very Cool Watch, And One For You Too!

JORD Fieldcrest Wood Watch in Maple

I receive offers and requests to review and/or promote various products on an almost daily basis. Most of them are products or styles that I wouldn’t wear myself or recommend or that I don’t think would be of interest to you, so I don’t share them here. I’m not going to lie; when I first received an email inviting me to review a line of wood watches, the idea sounded a bit, well…hokey. But I finally did check out JORD Wood Watches, and my jaw dropped just a little. NOT hokey. The designs are clean and modern, and really showcase the beauty of the different woods. I agreed to try this “Fieldcrest” style in Maple which I thought would be a nice watch for summer, and it is!

The band, watch face and outside case of the “works” are all wood (maple in this case). The clasp and mechanics are metal. When I took the watch into the jewelry repair store to get the band adjusted (have to do this will all of my watches as I have a very small wrist) everyone there was really impressed with the workmanship and look of the watch. It’s SO light to wear! While it is a little bulkier than my thinnest metal watch, I hardly notice that I have it on. If a heavy metal watch is too warm for you to wear in the summer, this is not only lighter but cooler too. The clasp is a “double” closure that opens with button mechanism. The wood is so pretty, and this color is perfect for lighter summer outfits.

Most of the styles are unisex. Bands can be adjusted like any other watch band, and yes the case opens for battery replacement. I’m told that it probably should not be worn swimming, but otherwise for day-to-day wear is water-resistant.

I haven’t done a giveaway in a long time, so am very excited to be able to offer one of these watches in the same style as mine, provided by JORD Wood Watches. You’re going to love it! So you may be familiar with this new giveaway widget, but if not, here’s how it works: for each of the steps listed below you complete (e.g. Like “JORD Wood Watches” on Facebook, share on Twitter, etc.) you’ll receive an entry.

Reminder: if you’ve never commented before or are using a different email, your comment will go into the moderation queue. Don’t worry, you’ll be entered. I do my best to moderate comments regularly, but please give your comment a few hours to show up.) We’ll keep entries open for 1 week, and a winner will be announced within a day or so after that. C’est tout!

Allons-y….

  1. These are very cool. Natural wood is beautiful. A few years back, I found and bought one of these for my wife for a birthday gift; she loves it.

  2. Love this watch. And the other ones are wonderful too. If I don’t win, perhaps I can inveigle my own lovely husband to buy one for my birthday?

  3. Lovely watch! I just want to say…. I don’t comment often, but I am a regular reader. You inspire me to dress with care — thanks for your blog!

  4. Yes like the watch and it is both unusual and attractive. I don’t take part in facebook or twitter so am unable to join into the raffle. Domage.

  5. Love this watch! If it’s open to international readers, please count me in – the only problem being that I suspect my husband will love it too, so I would need to get it altered for my small wrist before he got his hands on it!

  6. I don’t do twitter or FB either, but I would love this watch to complement my new capsule wardrobe…

  7. I just recently went back to wearing watches. I had relied on my phone the past few years, but found myself wistful for wearing one again when I saw a great piece on a friend’s wrist. The wood watch is terrific. What an unusual idea!

  8. This is a really cute watch. I usually wear a small metal watch and have been wanting to try a larger watch for fun. This one would be perfect! Thanks for the giveaway!

  9. I have seen these (or similar ones) in a store before but never on a person – it looks great on you. Thanks for the giveaway!

  10. I love this watch. I have sent a link to my husband requesting one for my birthday. He opened the link and asked, so what do I do. chences of getting one are slim to none! I would love to get this watch even if it’s after my birthday!

  11. Love the watch. And I just misplaced another watch (the Michael Kors I bought after seeing you wearing it – is there a pattern here?). While I’m sure I’ll eventually find the misplaced watch, I’d love to have the wood for summer.

  12. Pseu, I don’t think I’ve ever entered one of your giveaways, but I love this clean design, not too formal or “madame” for my taste.

    I avoid facebook and twitter (even LinkedIn, for strictly professional reasons, is invasive) so all I can do is enter with my e-mail.

    Bonne journée!

  13. I was looking for something to wear with different metal colors, and this watch is an option I would never have considered had I not read your post.

  14. I’ve been searching for a sleek wooden watch. Most of the ones I find are much bulkier. I’d be delighted to win.

  15. I LOVE wood watches! I’ve already bought one for my son, and talked my daughter into getting one for herself. She gets so many great comments and loves hers! Yet, I’ve never bought one for myself, so now’s the time!

  16. I agree with your watch review – it is light and airy in appearance and would be perfect for summer. Merci pour le partage! Ann

  17. I actually saw a wood watch years ago and was intrigued by it. Design wise I really like the wood for summer and Autumn but I love that it is a natural material. It would be fun to wear one – the maple looks lovely. Thanks for sharing this!

  18. Beautiful watch! I’ve been looking for a watch so I can stop having to dig out my phone to see what time it is.

  19. What a beautiful watch. I love the simplicity and yet modern look of it. Thank you for your giveaway.

  20. I’ve seen these watches for a while, and they are BEAUTIFUL! Hugs to you for the giveaway!! Serene

  21. I would never have looked twice at this watch but your positive comments are very persuasive! It looks like a fun and fashionable alternative to my usual metal-band watch.

  22. Lovely watch, lovely giveaway! If you’re including international readers (Canada), please count me in!

  23. this is the ideal watch for summer. Looks great with jeans or a sundress. Love the light wood color and the size of the watch

  24. Even though I’m in Australia, I will be in the USA in a month or so and would love that summery looking watch after our rather cold winter weather.

  25. I haven’t been wearing a watch lately, but this watch is so unusual that I would again be able to tell time without looking at my cell phone. If I were lucky enough to win I would wear this watch all summer. Thank you for sponsoring the giveaway.

  26. Great watch! Need something like this for my collection. Very different and yet classy at the same time.

  27. I have a new job that makes wearing a watch essential. This looks like it would change nicely over time.

  28. Im not a watch or jewellery wearer but its just the sort of unusual piece my mother would get joy from. Shes had the most dreadful year and Im entering for my mum. Thanks for the chance to win such a neat prize and thank you for your wonderful blog!
