My husband is an avid watch collector…but tends to have a particular style. I heard about JORD Wood Watches last year and was very curious about them…he didn’t seem too interested when I mentioned it so I left it alone. But the more I looked at JORD and the quality and craftsmanship that goes into each watch, I knew I just had to check them out. I knew it would make the perfect stocking stuffer gift!
I picked the 94A series just because he doesn’t have any square faces and I thought it looked fresh and would be a unique addition to his collection. I choose the darker wood tone, the Natural Dark Sandalwood, because I knew he would prefer that over a lighter wood. I also liked the two tone face rather than going with a solid silver or color.
The natural dark sandalwood 94A series wood watch is hand finished and pretreated with tung oils. While it’s not waterproof (hello, wood) it is splash-proof which is great! I don’t have to worry about the face getting scratched up either because it has a scratch resistant mineral glass face. I like that it displays the date in a small window along with the hour/minute/seconds. It sounds like a simple thing, but having the date on your wrist really helps out when your day’s tend to run together.
Other Features Include:
double locking fold-over clasp
tuning fork type: quartz crystal
frequency: 32,768 Hz
accuracy: +/- 20 seconds /mo
battery: silver oxide SR626SW (equiv)
drive system: 2-pole stepping motor
This watch is anything but cheap feeling or looking. My hubby loves to wear it out because he gets a lot of, “Is that a wood watch? Wow that’s nice!” I wish I would have gone with my gut and checked them out last year like I wanted to. Now we are both kinda in love…I want to get him one from each series and maybe surprise myself with one…or two. Sometimes buying a watch for you spouse, father, brother can be a little daunting with all the options out there. But a watch is a great holiday gift for loved ones, it’s something useful, yet these are unique & whimsical. Below I have 3 tips to help in your search of the perfect gift.
Tips For Buying The Perfect Watch
Set a budget and stick to it. Some quality watches can cost as much as a car, so before you start shopping you need to know where you and your budget stand. That’s one thing I love about JORD Wood Watches, they are affordable quality watches that will wow.
Think Comfort. A man’s watch is his accessory and one that he wears day in and day out so it needs to be something that he would be comfortable wearing and not have to constantly fidget with it. My husband wears his to work as well as play so comfort is number one. You want to have it sized just right so it’s not too big and sliding around, yet not too tight and digging into his wrist. JORD makes this easy, as they offer sizing for the watch you choose. My husband was shocked when he tried it on and it fit perfectly…he didn’t know I had it sized before it even shipped!
What Style Does He Like? This one can be hard. There are so many options when it comes to watches. If you’ve purchased one with him before you might have a good idea of what he would like or not like. I know my husband does not like plastic bands or gold…and tends to lean towards darker colors when it comes to wood. So that saves a little time when looking. When I choose his JORD Wood Watch, I went for the darker tone band & silver face with a hint of color.
Now with any watch, you’re going to have to keep it clean. You can’t just take a cloth to this one, so here is how you clean & store your JORD Wood Watch to keep it looking and working its best:
Lemon or orange oil extract is best for cleaning the natural wood. When storing this timepiece, avoid extremely hot, cold, and excessively dry/humid environments.
