Watch Description
Watch Description
Our lightest, toughest watch. Scout pairs a pale walnut case with a carbon-effect dial and a hard-wearing blue nylon strap. A field watch for muddy boots, weekend camps and everyday adventures.
Each Forest watch is handcrafted from natural wood, so no two are ever quite alike. The grain, tone and character are unique to your watch. Every piece is checked by hand before it leaves us, with an adjustable fit and a 2-year warranty for peace of mind.
And every watch plants 10 trees. We plant them through Tree-Nation. It arrives in a wooden gift box, ready for gifting (including to yourself). Add a personal engraving to make it truly one of a kind.
The nylon strap dries; the case is still wood. Can a wooden watch get wet?

Common questions
Common questions
Are wooden watches any good?
Yes, as a gift they will wear — with honest limits. They are real wood, lighter than steel, and the grain is different on every case. They are splash-proof, not waterproof. They are not as tough as a steel sports watch. We back them with a two-year warranty and 90-day returns, engraved or not.
How long do wooden watches last?
Years of daily wear if you keep them dry. The two-year warranty is the promise in writing. Most Forest watches are quartz, so a battery change every few years is the usual service. Riverstone and Woodhaven are automatic: no battery, wound by the motion of the wrist. What fails first, if anything, is moisture from a soaking, or the quartz battery.
Can wooden watches get wet?
Splash-proof: rain and washing your hands are fine. Not for swimming, showers or the sea. Wood and water are a bad mix if you soak the watch. Dry it if it gets wet, and do not leave it in a steamy bathroom.
Is wood a good 5th-anniversary gift?
Yes. Wood is the traditional gift for a fifth wedding anniversary. A wooden watch is one they wear, not another board or frame. Engraving is £25 for up to 40 characters, done in our London workshop, and you can still send it back for 90 days if it is not right. Ten trees are planted with every watch, through Tree-Nation.
Engraved and still returnable for 90 days.
