Thinking of the material are natural wood, most people think that wood watches won't be wear-resistant enough and last for years. However, wood watches are not so fragile actually.
Indeed unlike the solid and hard metal material, wood watches are much lighter and soft but it doesn't mean that it is not worthy to get. Normally they are made of ebony, sandalwood, olive, and some other wood species. The wood cases and straps are not so thin and easy to be broken. After polished and oiled, their appearances are wear-resistant in daily life. Unless they are rolled by heavy things or drop from a high degree. Or scratched by sharpy things. Then the wood material will be damaged. But this is unnormal.
From this point of view, wooden watches are also cost-effective in our life. Compared to traditional metal watches and smartwatches, they are eco-friendly and lightweight, and personalized.
Also what is important for a watch that whether it is waterproof. To be honest, I have to tell the truth. Even wooden watches could be made with water resistance, I don't suggest letting the wood watches get in touch with water. Why?
The reason is that as we all know, water will make the wood material out of shape and become moldy. To maintain our wooden wristwatches well, pls keep them away from the water surrounding them. But in our daily life, they are splash waterproof so it is okay when washing hands and wearing them on a rainy day. Trust me, please don't wear them when swimming or bathing. Or you will lose your beloved watches soon.
In a word, should I get a wood watch? Is it worth it? In my opinion, it will be worth it if I like it and in my budget.
