The Garwood Review
The 360 Wooden Watch Is Awesome!
The first day I wore the 360 I had five different people compliment me on the Garwood.
Our reviewerA Wood Watch Worth The Compliments It Gets
The Garwood 360 treats a watch as a style piece first and a timekeeper second, and it earns that framing: American maple wood paired against a dark felt band, with a carbon-fiber pattern behind the watch face glass.
The compliments started immediately — five in the first day alone — and the felt band, which looked like it might feel scratchy or out of place, turned out to hide soft leather against the skin and works equally well with beach shorts or a tux.
Comfort matches the style. The wood construction makes the 360 noticeably lighter than any metal or gold watch, though the felt band takes some wriggling to secure the first few times — a minor tradeoff for a strap that feels built to last.
At $159, within Garwood's broader $100–$160 lineup, the price tracks with the craftsmanship on display; it fit both a smaller wrist and a friend's larger one without issue, backed by a 12-month warranty and a 7-day no-questions return.
The only real limitations are practical: the battery isn't a DIY swap, and the watch isn't waterproof — small asterisks on an otherwise easy recommendation.
Why We Love It
- Gorgeous watch that consistently draws compliments
- Noticeably lightweight compared to metal watches
- Fair price for the craftsmanship on display
- 12-month warranty
Considerations
- Felt strap is stiff, making it harder to put on
- Battery isn't easily replaced yourself
- Not waterproof
Our Hands-On Review
Five compliments in a single day of wear made the style case for itself before comfort even entered the conversation.
The felt band's underside is soft leather, not the scratchy material it appears to be — though it does take some wriggling to fasten securely the first several times.
Sized For Most Wrists
The Garwood 360 fit comfortably on both a slimmer wrist and a friend's larger one, though its bigger watch face may overwhelm very small wrists.
