Very handsome watch

I am a smart watch user and as such I usually wear that all day every day in every circumstance. This watch, however, is so attractive and unique that I am now using it as a fashion piece to accentuate more formal outfits.

The watch itself is beautiful and looks really nice on my wrist. It's quite large, so if you have smaller wrists it might not look great on you. I was surprised at how lightweight it was one I put it on - it's like you're not even wearing anything.

The band is made of cork, which did take some getting used to. It's not as easy to manipulate as leather, and was very stiff initially. However as I wore the watch more, it did become more flexible. That's not to say that the cork band is uncomfortable - it's actually quite comfortable and feels soft against my wrist.

I was worried the woodgrain would make it difficult to read the time but the hands and pips on the face are very clear.

I would call this watch an understated accent piece that stands out while not being too flashy. It's unique enough to be a nice conversation piece (a lot of people have asked me about it when I'm wearing it) but subtle enough to not be the focus of an ensemble. I really like this watch and will continue to wear it as part of my more formal outfits.

Awesome watch, lightweight, unique design

I love the look of this wood watch, there is something to be said for the classic look. My son was instantly begging me to give it to him, he loves it so much. The watch is super lightweight. The cork band is really good looking and it has a really nice texture to it. It is stiff compared to the typical leather band but I think that it will loosen up over time. My husband has a large bone structure and this watch looks too small on him. It is more suited for my son or for myself. The watch is easy to set and it keeps the time well. I like that the back is also wood since I am sensitive to metals and I sometimes get a rash from the back of other watches. The wood grain is really nice and the watch looks really unique. The watch is said to be lifestyle waterproof meaning that it will resist rain, sweat or accidental splashes. I would go out of my way to protect this watch from getting wet as I worry about how it would affect the wood or the band. The packaging is nice, it comes in a pull out box wrapped around a little pillow. Overall, I am impressed by this watch. It is a beautifully made watch with a lot of thoughtful little details.

Attractive and well made

Different - attention getter without being ostentatious. I like the fact that this watch dresses up or down effortlessly, it matches almost anything - it's a nice rugged and natural accent to a suit, and/or adds a little class to jeans and a tee. The band is interesting as well, it is clearly not trying to imitate leather, and I think it will actually improve with wear as more of the cork texture is revealed. I'm very pleased with this, it is a welcome alternative from my usual titanium watches.

Beautiful

I ordered this watch for my son who is not very "bling bling" and wanted something simple. This watch is beautiful and gives a very classic look. The cork strap is light. This watch goes very well with my son's hobo style.
