I received a JORD Wood Watch to facilitate this review. I was not financially compensated for this post. My opinions are my own and not by any means influenced by any other part.
When it comes to watches, I am very particular and it is really hard for me to get a time piece that actually works for me. I really do not like it when I need to replace my watch which was the case recently….Have you heard of Jord Wood Watches? JORD is run by artists, designers, marketers, and minders. Their designs are one of a kind beautifully crafted time pieces that would change the way you see time.
JORD Wood Watches has a wide selection of wood watches and that includes both men’s and women’s designs that would be perfect for this holiday season including the smashing Zebrawood and Turquoise watch which is part of the women’s Cora Series collection.
Wood Watches by JORD
Zebrawood and Turquoise watch This watch is the best looking watch I have seen in a long time and features a sapphire crystal glass, deployment buckle with push button, and Swarovski crystal markers that complete the astonishing look on these wood watches. The color combination on these wood watches is simply amazing…The rich browns on the Zebrawood with the turquoise on the watch face, coupled with the gold markers with the Swarovski crystals on them is really beautiful.
The watch is designed so there is a small cutout circle at the bottom left hand side of the watch that lets you see part of the watch’s internal operating mechanism and the back of the watch is actually glass so you can see the guts of the watch…Really neat! The Zebrawood Cora Series is not only available in the turquoise finish. They also offer this beautiful watch in 4 additional colors to match your needs and personality!
The watch is pre-treated with tung oils and while the watch is splash –proof, it is not to be submerged in water. The Zebrawood and Turquoise watch from the Cora Series collection, is lightweight and very comfortable to wear and the size is just right, not too big, and not too small. JORD wood watches now offers you free sizing…All you need to do is take the measurement of your wrist and add it to your order and they will size the watch for you!
One other thing I really liked was the watch’s presentation as it arrived in a wooden box with the JORD name branded that is really nice and can be used to keep your watch in when not in use or can double as a small jewelry box…So your watch arrives pretty much ready for gift giving.
One thing to know about this watch is that it is actually self-winding and it is a little tricky to set the time on the Cora watch …I visited their site and used the chat app on the Jord website and had a conversation with Daniel…. This was the best customer service experience I’ve had in a long time!
He was awesome and explained to me how to do so:
Daniel
So the piece that you use to set the time is called the crown. Normally, you just pull the crown out and turn it to set the time. This watch has what is called a “screw-down” crown. This means that before you can pull the crown out to set the time, you must unscrew it.
1. Turn the crown counter-clockwise until it pops (this means that it’s been unscrewed from the threads)
2. At this stage, if you turn the crown clock-wise, it will wind the watch (if your watch is dead or is new, I would suggest turning the crown 20 times clockwise to get it wound).
3. if you pull the crown out further, this is how you set the time (by turning the crown either direction) 4. Once you are done, push the crown all the way in and turn clock-wise (while pushing it it).
The goal is to get the crown to catch on the threads and screw back in. The screw-down crown feature is generally reserved for higher end watches. It prevents dust from getting into the internals (just a fun fact for ya 🙂
The watch’s presentation is great as it arrived in a wooden box with the JORD name branded that is really nice and can be used to keep your watch in when not in use or can double as a small jewelry box…So your watch arrives pretty much ready for gift giving.
The Zebrawood and Turquoise watch from the women’s Cora Series has a retail price of $275.00 and it is one of the many options available on the JORD website which of course also offers a wide selection of men’s designs for the Holidays!

I absolutely love these! I’ve been in the market for a new watch, but I have been having trouble finding one that is cool and unique without being ostentatious. These watches are PERFECT! So individual, and would go with every outfit in my collection!
these watches are amazing! I know a couple people that have one and they look really nice. I love the Delmar blue watch. I would get that one if I won and gift it to a special friend because I know how happy it would make them.
I have always loved these watches! They are stylish and sophisticated in their design. I especially like the SIDNEY series watch in Maple & Rose Gold. Thank you for the opportunity!
I love wood jewelry! I’ve actually been eyeballing JORD’s products for awhile now. I really like Cora Zebrawood & Turquoise, & the Sidney Maple & Rose Gold. Both are beautiful.
I’ve been coveting a Jord watch for some time, lol. They have so many beautiful styles, but I keep coming back to the Sully in red sandalwood. I just love that style! I also really like the Ely, too, though!
If I were to win, I would get the Sidney Red Sandalwood & Mother of Pearl. I think it’s so nice looking and I would love to give it to someone as a Christmas gift.
I love love love the Dark Sandalwood with the green face. Gorgeous!

I will like a wooden watches. My favorite is the Maple & Rose Gold watch. I love the jewel accents surrounding it! It can go with anything!
I really like the design and style of the series/ fieldcrest/dark-sandalwood watch. My son and daughter have really been wanting one too they love the wood they use makes them really look so unique to wear too.
They sure have some pretty watches for women. I’ve always wanted a wood watch. I would have to pay a little more but I really like the SULLY series
Dark Sandalwood & Maple.
These watches are breathtaking! I’d love to purchase a Cora in Zebrawood and Torquoise for myself. I haven’t worn a watch in a while due to the weight of them, and my skin not liking various man made materials. A natural wood watch and lightweight seem perfect! My daughters have picked out a Fieldcrest for my hubby, and it looks like the Zebrawood and Maple is what we’ll be ordering for him. He’s a woodworker, and I can’t wait to see his reaction Christmas Day on his new watch! Thank for doing this giveaway!
I love the fieldcrest watch! My husband loves raw wood, so I think I would get it to give to him for his birthday! Love their whole collection!
The Koa and Rose Gold watch is gorgeous! It costs much more than the giveaway amount. I would probably use the gift credit to buy that watch. I would pay the remainder myself. Thanks!
The Ely in black
Thanks for the chance
I like the Red Sandalwood Ely Series Watch. It’s a beautiful color of wood which would stand out from other watches. It would be great for casual wear. I like how the face of the watch and the wood are both in that rosy red color.

I would purchase the Ely Red Sandalwood watch. I need a new watch. I like the look of the Red Sandalwood. I would use it as my everyday watch.

I really want to get a watch for my 17 year old son. If I were to choose this for him, I would choose the FIELDCREST series Zebrawood & Maple, but I may let him choose. On the other hand, I may have a change of heart and choose one for myself!
I would like the Cora Series Purpleheart and mother of pearl watch. Its really pretty and different looking. Thanks for the great giveaway.
I like the Frankie series Purpleheart and Plum design. I also love the Cora Zebrawood & Turquoise watch. Both are perfect color combinations with the wood/watch face. Their watches certainly are unique!

Maple & Lavender but there are a few that I have my eye on.
I really like the natural look of the watches. I’m an outdoorsy girl and can appreciate it. I’d pick the Ely in Maple.
I absolutely love the Zebrawood and Turquoise but it is way out of my price range. It would be hard to choose because they are all so great. I would probably get the zebrawood and maple because I love the band.
I like the green ely.
I thought this would be great as a bday gift for my husband, haha. Then I saw the watch of my dreams, I love the very pretty CORA watch. I have just the outfit it would go with too!

This is a truly stunning watch that would be the conversation piece anywhere I went. I still wear a watch even though most of the people I know only use a cell phone.
I like the Green Sandalwood/Green Carbon. I like the squarish watch face.
I like the Green Sandalwood/Green Carbon. I prefer the squarish watch face. And the wood is not dark, not light…kind of in-between. I might actually prefer the maple and rose gold but I’m trying to stick to the budget.
I like the Ebony and Copper watch in the Dover series. Thank you
I also love the DOVER series
Ebony & Copper its so nice
If I were to win I think I would have my son pick out one he likes. I would pick the Red Sandalwood & Mother of Pearl Sidney watch for him. For me, I would pick the Zebrawood & Turquoise Cora watch. Thanks for a great giveaway!
