Jord Wood Watch Review + Giveaway!

We all have our go-to accessories. Some people collect purses, some love hats, and others like jewelry. I'm not a watch person. As much as I try to wear a watch, I dislike the design and size of most watches and wind up using my phone to tell time.

Jord contacted me about their product and I was immediately curious. A watch made of wood? As beautiful as they seemed on the website, I wondered if they'd seem flimsy in real life.

I chose an Ely watch in Maple and received it quickly. The packaging was beautiful and luxurious -- I immediately thought about how one of these watches would make an impressive gift. As for my concerns about quality, they were immediately dismissed. My Ely feels sturdy and well-crafted. The wood is such an interesting design choice and when I wear my watch around, people always comment on the unique design.

The band was initially too big for my wrist, but it was simple to resize it myself by taking out an extra link. Now it fits perfect! The only minor complaint I have about this watch is the size. While the Ely is the smallest Jord Watch design, it is still larger than I would have liked. I think these watches would be excellent for people with bigger wrists or those who are used to wearing a watch, but for me personally, it did feel a little large. After chatting with people who wear watches regularly, they thought the size was fine, so it's probably just me!

Overall, I love my Jord watch and I'm glad to have a real wristwatch of my own. It feels like something every adult should have!

Jord is going to give a watch away to a lucky reader! Just fill out the widget below for your chance to win.

Jord was kind enough to provide me with a watch to review. All thoughts are my own.

My sentiments exactly. Was never a watch girl! My wrists are remarkably small and they always bothered me lol. But this is gorgeous. Love the wood!

I work at a jewelry & watch repair shop. It's funny because we see so very few wooden watches. I think in nearly two years, I may have worked on all of maybe 4 or 5 of them. They are typically super lightweight, but I have my hangups about them as they are delicate to work on. Really neat concept tho! I'm surprised we don't get more of them in our shop (ya know, for battery changes or something lol)

They are super light! That's interesting that you haven't seen too many. I wonder if they'll become more popular -- I'd never seen a wooden watch before Jord contacted me!

I'm surprised too but it seems like the style right now is large faced watches with thin bands - more like the Skagens. In my area in particular, Michael Kors is a huge deal as is the blinged out Techno Kings or the super heavy Invictas. I think it has something to do with the Charleston, SC area. I bet these wooden watches are very popular back in Colorado whee I'm from.
