Wewood watches?

I stumbled across this website whilst just generally looking at watches (as you do).

I'm not much of an eco warrior, but they look interesting. Anybody have any experiences?

Never heard of them, but they seem reasonably priced and use miyota (Citizen) movements, so they should be ok. I don't like the name much!

I think that the Jupiter case/bracelet would look good with a digital display. Have you seen the Nixon Rotolog?

I had not, but thank you for bring it to my attention.

As a person who has just recently got the watch bug; how on earth do you guys control yourselves? There are so many watches that I want now!

I wonder if they are waterproof? I dont see it mentioned (although I may have missed it). I would hope they could deal with rain etc?

FAQ says:

"IS WeWOOD WATER RESISTANT?

No, but you can consider it splash-proof It does just fine in the kitchen, even on the beach, but please don't take WeWOOD swimming! Like any natural wood, the wood slightly expands when getting wet, and this makes the flexibility of the links less supple. Generally, the wood fully recovers when dry."
