A watch can be a great gift if you know the receivers style. I personally love a watch that I can wear daily and will match almost anything I wear. JORD wood watches make giving a great watch for Valentine’s day easy. Wood watches from JORD use natural wood and wood colors to take the look of watches back to nature. Using natural wood ensures that each watch is unique because of the grains and patterns of the wood and colors.
JORD watches use premium Citizen Miyota movement. There are a number of different styles to choose from a many can be unisex so weather you’re looking for something for your special guy or the lady in your life, JORD wood watches is a good one stop shop for beautiful natural watches.
I was excited to have the opportunity to test our a JORD wood watch myself. I chose the Ely which is a unisex maple watch. This one is a great every day watch and fits my standard of being able to match a number of outfits.
This watch had a chunkier face than I initially anticipated but it’s very easy to read and eye catching. It also has a small date window you can see on the right by the 3 marker. You can easily set the time and date by pulling the pin on the side of the watch. The watch has a pin and screw for the links to adjust the size. I did have a little bit of a time trying to adjust the size myself. I was able to get some of the links out to adjust but I still needed more because I have a small wrist. I like my watch to be snug and that usually means a 6 inch or 6.5 inch measurement for me. I tried to get the screw and pin out of the other links but the screws kept spinning. I ended up needing to take it to a jeweler to finish the sizing. The jeweler didn’t charge me much though and it was worth it to have the watch fit well.
When I contacted JORD by using their live chat feature on their website they did tell me that on occasion because the watches are made of natural wood, sometimes the wood will get in the way of the screws or on a rare occasion will have a defective screw. Again the jewelry was able to adjust it for me with little effort and a few dollars.
As a tip from me, when adjusting yourself you have to hold one side steady and the other side you need to twist the screw. If you just try to unscrew the screw the other side spins with it. One side is a pin and one is a screw, it’s hard to tell which. I rigged my own set up to take it out so I could hold one side steady without ruining my watch.
I used duck tape to hold down one small phillips head screwdriver and used another small screw driver on the other side. Hey it worked!
Another feature I liked about this watch is that the clasp is pretty simple to clasp and unclasp. The watch is light weight. My son was eyeing up the watch. He said “Hey this would fit me, can I have it?” Lol it would look nice on him. I don’t know, I rather liked it once it was sized. Maybe I’ll let him borrow it once in a while 🙂
