Handcrafted from Real Wood. Lighter Than You Ever Expected.
Wooden Watches for Men and Women
Joycoast wooden watches are handmade from sustainably sourced wood with Japanese quartz movements, stainless steel buckles, and a fit that surprises everyone who tries one on. Styles range from 36mm to 42mm in walnut, zebrawood, ebony, koa, and bamboo, and every watch comes with a resizing tool so you can adjust it to your wrist right out of the box. We also offer custom engraving on the back of every watch, done in-house in Chicago. Ships free in a bamboo gift box, plants 10 trees, and backed by a 12-month warranty since 2017.
Nature's Timeless Trend
Why People Are Switching to Wooden Watches
The first thing people say when they put on a Joycoast wooden watch is "I can't believe how light this is." If you have ever taken off a metal watch at the end of the day because your wrist was tired, sweaty, or just plain uncomfortable, you already understand why wooden watches are having a moment. Our watches are a fraction of the weight of stainless steel or titanium, which means you can wear them comfortably from morning to night without thinking about it.
A lot of our customers tell us they had stopped wearing watches altogether because metal felt too heavy or restrictive. A wooden wrist watch brought them back. The wood feels warm against the skin, does not pull arm hair, does not leave marks, and looks just as sharp with a suit as it does with a t-shirt. Once you wear wood, metal starts to feel like a relic.
Artisan Excellence Defined
Handcrafted Quality That Stands Apart
Most wooden watches you find online look like someone strapped a chunk of wood to a strap and called it a day. Thick cases, rough edges, and movements that stop running after a few months. Joycoast is built differently.
Every watch is designed in Chicago and handcrafted with modern, clean profiles that look like premium retail timepieces. We use Japanese Miyota quartz movements made by Citizen, one of the most trusted names in watchmaking. The cases are crafted from sustainably sourced woods including walnut, zebrawood, ebony, sandalwood, koa, and bamboo, each with its own unique grain pattern. No two watches ever look exactly the same.
Some styles combine natural wood with stainless steel accents for a refined wood and metal watch that blends organic warmth with modern edge. Whether you want an all-wood case or a wood and metal combination, every watch is designed to feel like a premium timepiece, not a novelty.
Every watch includes a stainless steel fold buckle for easy on and off, adjustable links with an included resizing tool, and ships in a bamboo gift box ready to wear or give right out of the box.

Apple Watch Bands
Prefer to keep your Apple Watch? We also carry wooden Apple Watch bands that fit all Apple Watch sizes and start at $89. Same handcrafted wood quality, modern tech compatibility.
Fused Elemental Elegance
Wood and Metal Watches
Not every wooden watch has to be all wood. Several of our most popular styles combine natural wood cases with stainless steel accents, dials, or hardware for a refined, modern aesthetic. These wood and steel watches are ideal for anyone who wants the warmth and uniqueness of wood with the edge of metal.
The combination also adds a subtle weight to styles that prefer a slightly more substantial feel on the wrist, while still being dramatically lighter than a full stainless steel watch. If you are looking for a wood and metal watch that works as well in a boardroom as it does on a Saturday morning, browse our collection above and filter by style.
Elevated Organic Sophistication
Luxury Wooden Watches
Luxury does not have to mean heavy. Our premium wooden watches offer the kind of craftsmanship, quality, and uniqueness you would expect from a high-end timepiece at a price that does not require a second mortgage. Walnut, zebrawood, and koa wood all deliver a richness that looks exceptional even in the most elevated settings.
What sets a luxury wooden watch apart from everything else in the market is the combination of rarity and wearability. No two pieces of wood are ever identical, which means every watch is genuinely one of a kind. The exotic grain patterns on zebrawood and koa are conversation starters in any room. Pair that with a Japanese Miyota quartz movement and a bamboo gift box presentation and you have something that feels and looks like it belongs next to watches costing far more.
Effortless Ownership Refined
Easy to Size, Easy to Maintain
Every watch ships with a resizing tool, extra links, and instructions so you can adjust the fit at home in just a few minutes.
We also have a video tutorial on how to resize your watch on our site if you prefer a visual walkthrough. If you would rather have us handle it, stop by our Joycoast store in Lincoln Park, Chicago and we will size it for you on the spot for free.
When it comes time to replace the battery, that is equally painless. Our watches use a standard watch battery available at any drugstore, grocery, or watch repair shop for a few dollars.
We have a YouTube tutorial walking you through the battery replacement process step by step. No special tools, no sending it back to us.
Enduring Strength Perfected
Built to Last
Every Joycoast wooden watch is built around a Japanese Miyota quartz movement, the same platform trusted by Citizen. These are not novelty pieces with cheap internals. They keep accurate time and are built for daily use.
The stainless steel fold buckle opens and closes cleanly and holds securely on the wrist. All links are adjustable with the included resizing tool. Every watch comes with a 12-month manufacturer's warranty. If anything ever goes wrong with materials or craftsmanship, reach out and we will make it right.
We have been doing this since 2017 and we stand behind everything we make. Most wooden watches are splash resistant, meaning rain, hand washing, and regular daily wear are no problem. We recommend avoiding swimming, showering, or submerging them for extended periods.
Customized Sentimental Keepsakes
Personalized Engraving and Groomsmen Gifts
One of the most popular things customers do with our watches is engrave them. We offer custom engraving on the back of every watch, done in-house at our Chicago headquarters. Add a name, a date, coordinates, a short message, or anything meaningful. It turns a beautiful wooden watch into a keepsake.
Our engraved watches are top choices for birthdays, anniversaries, Father's Day, graduation, and retirement. They are also one of the best groomsmen gifts available. Order a set, engrave each one with a different name or message, and your wedding party gets something they will actually wear daily. Browse our full groomsmen collection for curated watch and sunglasses sets, or shop engraved wooden watches directly.
Pair any watch with matching wooden sunglasses in the same wood type for a gift set that is genuinely hard to beat.
Growing Greener Futures
10 Trees Planted with Every Watch
Every Joycoast watch is made from FSC-certified wood, which means the forests it comes from are responsibly managed, replanted, and monitored. Wood is renewable, biodegradable, and has a fraction of the environmental impact of mining and refining metals for traditional watches.
For every watch sold, we plant 10 trees through our partners at Trees for the Future and Eden Reforestation Projects. Those trees grow into forest gardens in Africa that provide food, create jobs, restore degraded land, and support entire communities. We have planted over 160,000 trees to date and we are on a mission to reach 1 million. Learn more about our sustainability mission.
