Watch DescriptionWhat makes this watch what it is
This automatic wooden watch is wound by the wrist — no battery. If this watch were a person, it’d be the charmingly rugged adventurer you secretly wish you could be. Picture this: meticulously handcrafted from rich, warm maple wood, it's like wearing a slice of artisanal brilliance on your wrist.
Now, let's talk about that face – not yours, the watch's. The dial is a sophisticated balance of classic and contemporary with its open-heart design. It’s like peeking into the soul of a horological masterpiece, revealing the intricate dance of gears and springs. And that accent? Take your pick: buttery yellow with silver running through the bracelet, or black with black. Same watch, two very different moods.
Inside, this beauty boasts an automatic mechanical movement. Translation? It's powered by the very movement of your wrist. No batteries needed, just pure kinetic energy – because who has time to replace batteries when you're busy being awesome?
And let’s not ignore the bracelet. Made from the same stunning maple wood, it’s comfortable, lightweight, and adjusts effortlessly. It’s like the watch is giving your wrist a gentle hug every time you wear it. Plus, each watch is as unique as you are – no two pieces of wood are the same, making your watch one-of-a-kind.
Oh, and wearing this watch? It’s like giving Mother Nature a high-five because sustainable fashion never looked so good.
No battery does not mean it likes water. Can a wooden watch get wet?

Common questionsAre wooden watches any good? Waterproof? Sizing?
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 50 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.
