Wood Watches Rise In Popularity Among Tech Savvy Customers

1. Wood Watches Rise In Popularity Among Tech Savvy Customers

2. It may seem counter-intuitive, but wood watches are soaring in popularity among the Gen X and Gen Y who have grown up looking at an iPhone or Android for the time. Many people speculated that classic analog watches would go the way of CD’s, DVD’s, and – books. They said wrist watches would be the next sun dial. But, wood watches have become the hottest, freshest idea in wrist watches since the metal strap. Here’s why wood watches are so HOT. The best quality wood watches are made with solid wood, not veneer. The solid wood links are carved and sanded individually. Don’t get fooled by cheap wood veneer on steel watches. Today’s watch buyers settle for nothing less than solid wood. Wood watches are hypo-allergenic because many people are allergic to metal against their skin.

3. Wood watches are light-weight. Most of them are half the weight of a watch with a metal band. Wood watches look better with wear. This is because the patina of the wood is conditioned by the oils of the skin. Hence, the more you wear a wood watch, the better it looks. The best wood watches are made with premium quartz or self-winding movements. Today’s watch wearers know quality and expect a watch movement from Citizen or Miyota, at least. Of course, the finest wood watches are made with sustainable exotic woods like Koa, grown only in Hawaii. Martin & MacArthur has the only solid Koa watches.
