OOTD || JORD Wood Watch Review

I don't normally post OOTD's but now the weather's finally gone a little bit warmer I've been wearing this shirt dress from River Island (via ASOS) quite a bit - it's ridiculously easy to wear, comfy and I think fits into that holy grail of an outfit that you can dress up or down. We were just having a chill out day so I had flip flops on with this but you could easily put a pair of heels on with it.

Let's just zoom in on the watch I'm wearing too - as a rule I don't really wear watches that often but I've made an exception for this one which I've been wearing loads this spring/summer!

It's by JORD Wood Watches and is easily one of the most unusual/unique watches I've ever seen, whenever I wear it I get so many people commenting on it who can't quite get their head around the fact that the whole watch is made out of wood! Even at the airport when I had to go through check in the (usually not very talkative) security staff were like 'Wow, I love that watch, it's so cool!' as I took it off to put it through the scanners. That kind of thing doesn't normally happened.

The style I've got is the Dover Koa and Black (made of Koa wood with a black face), which technically is a men's watch but I liked the look of it and the fact it's a little bit oversized so I went for that rather than one of the women's watches. The good thing is JORD resize the watches for you on ordering if you give them your measurements which was really helpful.

I love that you can see the inner workings of the watch too and it's always kept it's time really well. Good thing is it charges through wear so no batteries or anything to replace, just walking around recharges it with the movement of your arm. My boyfriend is actually really jealous of this watch but it's too small for him so he can't steal borrow it - HA!  It also comes in some really great packaging too so if you're planning to give this to someone as a gift (lucky them) it looks really impressive when it arrives.

I absolutely love this watch and I've barely stopped wearing it all summer, it even came to the Maldives with me. The only problem is I keep looking at the website and seeing more and more I like - the new Ebony and Copper collection looks amazing!

The Dover & Koa watch is available from the JORD website for £189
