We’ve seen plenty of wooden watches in the last couple of years. So far, none have managed to impress us. Is the new wooden watch range from owood any different?
Canadian Brand owood Launches New Wooden Watch Range

The trouble with most wooden watches is that they are very obviously fashion pieces. Therefore they tend to use cheap, mass-market quartz movements that just do not enthuse watch collectors. Canadian start-up owood claim to offer something different: their watches (presumably just the cases and bands) are made entirely from reclaimed steel and wood.

First Impressions: owood wooden watches

It is nice to see a sapphire crystal on the watches, which shows some intent to move wooden watches up from the bottom of the barrel. On the other hand, they are still made with quartz movements and are unlikely to convert many of the watch enthusiasts who frequent our website.
If you want a wooden watch and can live with the compromises, then you might want to consider these watches over other wooden watches that cannot demonstrate their environmental credentials. If quartz three-handers are your thing, or you are looking for an unusual gift, then these might just tick your boxes.
