I remember my very first watch- I was 8 years old and it was a pink jelly watch with a digital face. I wore that watch every day until the pale pink band turned gray from wear. Since then, I’ve always worn a watch- I may have upgraded from pink jelly, but it’s one of those things that I feel naked without. I heard somewhere that less people wear watches on a regular basis now because they check their cell phones for the time instead. Uh, yeah, I tried that before, and I had to look at my phone four times before the time actually registered. And then I still checked my watch.

I consider my watch a piece of jewelry, and switch up my watch for the day depending on what I’m wearing. I have a couple of everyday watches and then a dressier watch for special occasions. I’m always looking for a great, unique watch to add to my collection, so when Jord reached out to me to collaborate, I jumped at the opportunity. I had been eyeing their beautiful wood watches for some time on Instagram. I hadn’t seen anything like their watches before. I have gold metal watches and leather watches, but never a wood watch. And they have a variety of different styles and colors, including light and dark wood, and several color faces (pink, blue, gray, black, beige- you name it!).

I chose this Hyde Series watch with kosso wood and a gray face. It’s a substantial watch and I love it. I’ve never been much of a dainty watch fan as they tend to look a little silly on my taller, broader frame, so I like watches with a larger face, at least 38mm. And how great does this more masculine watch look with feminine jewelry and accessories?? I love contrasts!

As I stated before, Jord has so many different styles to choose from, so if you like a dainty watch, they have them! Or if you’re looking for a gift for the man in your life (or dad or brother), they have several men’s watches too. Find the women’s watches here, and men’s watches here. The direct link to the watch I’m wearing is here.

So here’s the best part- the giveaway! Enter here to win $100 off any Jord watch! Even if you enter and aren’t selected, you will still receive $25 off a Jord watch. That’s a win-win in my opinion!
