A Jord Watch! Amazon #PrimeDay

I hadn't worn a watch since my Casio died about 7 years ago. I loved it because it was easy to read, and also had a night light. I didn't feel inclined to get another one, however, because I started using my phone to look at the time. But there's something to say about wearing a watch! Don't forget it is part of your overall look, it's a conversation piece. And there's nothing easier than a flick of the wrist and a glance down to get the time when you're wearing a watch.

Jord was kind enough to contact me to see if I might like to review one of their watches. Um...hold on, let me check my busy schedule....yep, looks like I'm good for a watch review! (Squeeeee!!) Especially a wood watch review! They look so distinctive, and I've  seen the posts about Jord everywhere. It seems that one can't take a bad picture of a Jord Watch. They are absolutely stunning!

Simplicity in accessories is important to me, and I wanted a neutral watch, one that I could wear with most anything, whether it was out playing disc golf on the weekend, or heading to work during the week. I want a look that I can pair with many looks. I chose the Fieldcrest Series in green sandalwood, for that reason.

The series comes standard, as do all Jord watches, with quartz crystal inner workings, hand finished woods, scratch-resistant mineral glass, and are splash-proof. Ranging in price from $139 - $395, there is a style, wood, and color for all! 

A couple things that I particularly like about this wood watch is the light-weight feel. I often forget to take it off at night because I don't even feel it on my wrist, which is a good thing. Another thing is that it never gets sweaty, sticky, or smelly. When I had a leather band with my former watch, the leather got a funky smell to it after I had worn it and it had absorbed perspiration and dampness. Wood doesn't do that.  I'm thrilled because I have a sensitive sniffer, and the smell of the leather wristband always bothered me. I feel like I'm going to love going back to depending on a watch to check the time! It's the perfect must-have accessory!

A Great Father's Day Gift - The Gift Of Time!

So I decided to give my man a watch for Father's Day. He's come such a long way from 3 and a half months ago. I was so pleased when Woodie Specs decided to let me work with them on a review, providing me with the Red Sandalwood Men's Watch!

The watch comes in a beautiful wooden box with their name engraved on it. 

When you open it, the beauty of hand-crafted wood shines out and draws you toward it!

I really love the look of masculinity it gives to my husband. I think it makes him look good, really good! To think that a few months ago, his face was bashed in from a biking accident. He is much deserving of this watch, and actually much more, but I digress.

When you receive the watch, it needs to be fitted. We took it to a local watch store and had that done. They did it while we waited and charged us $10, not too bad! Some places charge $20--it's all at their discretion. 

They are not waterproof but ARE water resistant, but only to light splashes that are wiped off right away.  Keep in mind that since each piece is slightly different in size, they won't be 100% sealed like a metal watch. For example, Don't take them in the shower, jump in a pool, or walk around in the rain. Don't worry about washing your hands or getting light splashes on your watch. Just make sure to wipe liquid off quickly to ensure the wood lasts.

Woodie Specs also sells Wooden Sunglasses that also provide a unique fashion statement. That is something that is definitely on my wish list! 

All in all, I am very impressed with this company, based out of L.A. They believe in giving back and they sponsor kids in need around the world through an organization called WorldVision.org, They have great service, work great through social media, have quality products, so I am definitely giving it A GAL NEEDS...thumbs up!
