Setting Non-Date Models

Step 1: Pull the crown to the "Out" position. Turn crown to move the hands forward (clockwise) to set the time. Set the minute hand approximately 5 minutes ahead of the desired minute marker, and then turn back to the desired marker.

Step 2: Push the crown back into to the “Set” position.

Setting Date Models

Step 1: When The Second hand reaches the 60th second mark, pull the crown to the “Out” position.

Step 2: Turn the crown to move the hands forward (clockwise) until you see the date (for date only) or both day and date change (Midnight). 

Step 3:

Models with Date: 
Push the crown to the “Mid” position (one “click”). Turn crown one way until the correct date appears. then pull the crown "Out" 

Models with Weekday and Date: 
Push the crown to the “Mid” position (one “click”). Turn crown clockwise until the correct weekday appears. Then, turn the crown counter-clockwise to set the day. When both are correct, pull the crown "Out" 

Step 4: For AM time, move the hands forward until the minute hand is approximately 5 minutes ahead of the desired minute marker; then turn back to the same minute marker. For PM time first advance the hands past 12 o’clock midday, then set the time.

Step 5: When the time you are referencing reaches the 60th second, push the crown to the “Set” position

NOTE: The date will change automatically at midnight. The watch calendar uses a 31 day cycle. So, at the end of any month with less than 31 days, the date must be advanced manually to “1” (See Step 3)

We highly recommend taking the watch to a jewelry/watch store in your local mall who'll do it for you! It's fairly cheap and sometimes they even do it for free since its such a quick job. 

If you'd like to do it yourself, its fairly easy to do. You can push any small metal pin into the holes on the left side of the straps near the clasp to push out the metal bar that connects the links. Once the link is removed, reconnect the strap with one of the metal bars you removed.

Such high standards for quality control naturally restrict our production capacity and, at times, the demand for our watches outpaces this capacity. Therefore, the availability of certain models may be limited. 

We receive regular deliveries as new timepieces are crafted. Check back regularly to see if a model is back in stock.

Please contact support at: support@woodforestwatch.com for questions related to the availability of specific models. 

3ATM(Unless otherwise stated) - We like to say our wooden watches are splashproof. Feel free to wash your hands or come in contact with small amounts of water. Base jumping off of a 100-foot cliff into the pacific ocean is not recommended. 

Considering we use 100% all-natural wood, prolonged exposure to water isn't recommended. Over time water will penetrate the wood and can leave stains and cause swelling.

We use a sapphire coated mineral glass on most of our watches which is very durable so as long as you don't chuck it across the room, this shouldn't happen!

We recommend getting the band adjusted by a watch or jewelry shop if needed, just because of the nature of wooden products being more fragile than typical all metal straps, and we wouldn't want to damage the watch!

First of all thanks for purchasing with us! Hopefully you'll recall a problem submitting the order initially and submitting the order more than once before it going through. Although the transaction didn't go through, your card issuing bank may place the requested funds on a hold - thus appearing as though another valid charge was made.

The hold on the funds will remain until it is removed by your card issuer. The time frame for how long these funds are held is entirely up to the card issuer, the industry average is 7 days for credit cards and 3 days for debit cards; although, some banks will hold the funds for up to 30 days. Your online report will show these charges likely as "Pending".

99% Of the time there is an issue with placing your order, it's because you have recently moved. 

Your billing address needs to be set to the address your credit card is registered to.

If that's the case, you can untoggle "Same as shipping address" and select "Use a different billing address" 

The most likely reason is that your order confirmation went to spam or junk. We've had this issue frequently with popular email platforms like Hotmail/Outlook and Yahoo. So please check your spam folder and mark the item as "not spam"

If you can't find the order confirmation in your spam folder, please contact us through the contact form below and we'll help you locate your order.
