One Very Cool Watch, And One For You Too!
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. If you don’t FB or Tweet don’t worry, those aren’t mandatory, but the more you do, the more entries and chances you’ll have to win. (But you must at least leave a comment to be entered. 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….

Very interesting – almost Scandinavian kind of feel with this watch !
You are right …it is beautiful. Count me in!
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.
That’s one very cool watch – I’d like to be entered. Thanks for hosting this giveaway!
Beautiful and I bet it ages to a lovely patina!
I need a new watch! Looks great.
That is a very beautiful watch – and very unique. Thank you for the chance to win!
Thank you for the give-away. Will check out the other woods, too.
Love how this watch looks. Would love to win one.
What a unique look! Thanks for the chance to win!
Love it! I’m in the running : >
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?
What an unusual watch! I would love to win this.
Awesome Giveaway. Love the watch.
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!
Love the watch – how unique!
Very nice watch, please enter me to win!
It’s hot here in Texas – this watch looks perfect for summer! Hope I am lucky….
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.
Bizz,

So pretty and unusual.
Cool watch! Thank you for the lovely giveaway!
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!
Beautiful and unique.
I don’t do twitter or FB either, but I would love this watch to complement my new capsule wardrobe…
Very pretty watch! Nice giveaway!
Nice watch. I saw it in the museum shop at SFO airport. Thanks for the chance to win it.
I’m fairly fussy about the watches I wear, but I would definitely wear this one!
I WANT ONE!!!!!!!! My 12 year old daughter wants one too! so UNIQUE
Lurker coming out of hiding to say – love your blog and that is one beautiful watch!
What an elegant watch!
I have coveted this watch for some time now. It would be so much fun to wear, very unique.
Lovely!
That is s beautiful watch!
Very pretty!
Thank you for sharing – yes please, I’d love to be entered!
Nice for summer – perhaps fall too. Please enter me!
Cool watch!
Beautiful watch. Glad to hear it can be adjusted since I also have very small wrists.
love their watches ! they all look gorgeous
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!
I rarely find watches I like, much less love. But this one … this one is just amazing!
Excellent watch! Thanks for the giveaway…
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!
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!
Love this watch! Thank you for the chance to win one.
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!
These watches are a great idea for summer when it’s too hot to wear metal!
Lovely watch ~
Think the watch looks fantastic – brilliant for summer or winter
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.
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!
Unusual and beautiful!
Love this watch – beautiful fresh look
Beautiful watch. Thanks for the giveaway. Fingers crossed, I hope I win!
The watch is so good looking! Thanks for finding it —
Ooh, I have been thinking that my Seiko is too hot to wear now that the weather has gotten humid here on the East coast. Love the idea of a wood watch, especially for summer!
Very pretty and sleek
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.
I’ve been searching for a sleek wooden watch. Most of the ones I find are much bulkier. I’d be delighted to win.
I was actually looking at wooden watches recently and liked the concept.
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!
Thank you for a generous giveaway – I’ve seen these watches before and they are lovely!
Awesome giveaway! Thank you so much!
Thanks for the giveaway. I like the Scully in red cherry.

Wood watches are so cool! Thanks for the giveaway.
I agree with your watch review – it is light and airy in appearance and would be perfect for summer. Merci pour le partage! Ann
Love this wood watch. Amazing!
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!
Love the watch but entering only once because I avoid all those other forms of media at all costs.
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.
Looks lovely! Thanks for sharing.
It is perfect for summer. Thank you for the draw.
I think it’s time for me to take a chance to win a watch. Thanks!
What a beautiful watch. I love the simplicity and yet modern look of it. Thank you for your giveaway.

I enjoy changing up my watch collection so much that I rarely wear the standby Rolex.

Wood is such a warm contrast and a nice change from the usual metal accessories.
