Choosing a wooden watch in the UK

ZARA zebrawood women’s watch worn on the wrist, white dial with gold hands and Roman numerals

Two ranges, one workshop

Every watch is cut from reclaimed timber, so no two dials share the same grain. The men's range runs from quiet everyday pieces like Flint and Alpine up to the Barrel, made from whiskey barrels. The women's range is sized for the wrist, not scaled down.

How the woods age

Walnut, olivewood and reclaimed oak each age differently on the wrist. The wood darkens slightly with wear, which is why a wooden watch feels more personal the longer you own it. If you are after a natural watch that does not look like everyone else's, the grain variation does the work for you.

Engraving as a gift

Caseback engraving turns any of our watches into a gift. Initials, a date, coordinates, or a line that means something. Every watch also plants 10 trees through Tree-Nation.

Quartz or automatic?

Most of the range runs on Miyota quartz: a battery, accurate, nothing to wind. Riverstone and Woodhaven are automatic, wound by the movement of your wrist with no battery at all, and both show the mechanism through the dial. The Barrel is a quartz chronograph with a stopwatch. When a quartz battery eventually runs down, most high-street jewellers can fit a new one while you wait.

Best Whiskey Barrel Watch

I compared several brands that make Whiskey Barrel Watches including OG, in the end I chose this, when I received it I was very impressed with the craftsmanship and quality, and crucially it was the best value for money, as a whisky enthusiast I think it's a recommended brand, and the money you save on the same quality is enough for you to add another bottle of good wine to your collection!

I love this watch!

I've been wanting to buy a wood watch for a while but they are usually to expensive. I love this watch! I've gotten so many compliments on it as well. I wish it was slightly heavier in weight because I'm used to larger watches but the weight isn't an issue. I haven't tested the water resistance yet, but I never wear watches in the water anyway. Would recommend this watch to anybody.

Such a beautiful watch!

Such a beautiful watch! I gave this to my husband as a gift, and he absolutely loves it. The watch is exactly as described. The engraving I requested is very nice too and looks perfect. Customer service was excellent. I was advised that there would be a delay and could choose something else if I desired. The wait wasn't long, and it still arrived fairly quickly. Very pleased with this purchase.

Watch was packed exceptionally well, tracking and delivery from the UK was great. I had a few concerns about the delivery company and Liam answered all my questions. Liam went above and beyond helpful and is the most pleasant business person I’ve met ,his customer service is a 10. I wouldn’t hesitate purchasing from Forest again.

The watch looked really nice online, but this was my first purchase of this brand. It just came in the mail yesterday, and virtually everything about the product has been terrific! It came packaged very nicely in a bamboo container. Inside were instructions, the story of the company, and a nice tool - with extra tips - to remove watch band links. Making it fit my arm was super easy! So far it is keeping nice time, and I really like the way it looks and feels on my wrist! I would definitely purchase this brand again!
