This watch is inspired by Hawaiian nobility and designed to enhance yours. In the Hawaiian language, “Koa” means fearless, and Original Grain has crafted the Minimalist collection to capture the essence of that same spirit of brave nobility. The largest native tree in the Hawaiian islands, the Acacia Koa, is truly the monarch of the forest and often reaches heights of 100 feet. The “Hawaiian Mahogany” that comes from the tree never ceases to amaze those who see it. Koa wood boasts a brilliant sheen and a remarkable variety of grains, stripes, and colors, from golden red to chocolate brown. Koa’s inherent properties naturally elevate, embolden, and inspire all those who come into contact with it. To honor this noble timber, we’ve paired it with natural leather and rustic, stonewashed. Original Grain is making a difference with Trees For The Future. By planting a tree for every wood watch sold, we’re helping families change their lives forever. These trees provide families with sustainable food sources, livestock feed, products to sell, fuel wood, and an increase in their annual income. We are currently working with 1,654 families comprised of 12,069 people. We’re doing our part to help set up families for a better tomorrow. With an unwavering commitment to authenticity, innovation, and next-level craftsmanship, Original Grain is a world-class creator of men’s watches and accessories, advancing the limits of what wood and steel can achieve. Original Grain has mastered an intricate stonewashing process to bring the most character and durability out of the unique alloy-rich metal used in our watches. This technique involves applying an acid treatment to darken the metal and enhance the metal’s rust resistance. The acid-soaked metal is then tumbled against ceramic stones, an abrasive process that ensures a unique pattern. Finally, preserving the character and patterns ingrained in each piece of timber means that every timepiece is one of a kind.

Stunning, classic and gorgeous!
I've been eyeing this brand for nearly a year, so when I saw the Minimalist on their site as a woman's watch, I knew I had to snag it as a birthday present for my boyfriend's sister who has very classic style. That said, I only had a few days and, knowing that the order would likely not arrive in time through the manufacturer's site, I turned to Amazon.I asked the manufacturer a question and, while they did reply the next day (and were awesome and helpful), I had assumed they weren't going to answer in time and I ended up ordering a different present. However, they were so great and I was still so enamored by the watch that I ended up ordering it for me anyway. Oh my, I'm in love.The face is quite big but somehow simultaneously dainty and classic. The wood around the face is subtle and gorgeous. Just absolutely in love. If you're considering buying this watch, stop thinking and do it. I'm still swooning and soon you will be too!

Stunning Watch.
Stunning Watch. I purchased this watch to give to my Fiancé for his birthday while on our honeymoon. he hasn't gotten it yet, but I think its a very sharp, classic looking watch. I am sure he will love it. I really like it!It came in a manila envelope that was lined in a small amount of bubble wrap, which surprised me. I would have expected it to come in a small box. as you can see in my picture it came in a really neat wooden box along with a thick cardboard box. It arrived completely undamaged but I could see how it could easily have been damage in shipping with just a manila envelope. thankfully it arrived perfectly!

Very Poor Quality
I loved this watch for about two months. I would wear it to work, take it off when I got home and put it in a tray in my closet. Then one day, I looked at it and noticed it only said "Grain" on the watch face. The "Original" was sliding around loose in there. I still liked the style so I kept wearing it. Last week, the watch stopped working all together.Not the $200 watch I paid for. I should have listened to the other reviewers before buying this hunk of junk.Very disappointing.

Stylish, quality watch, could improve the band
Smart-looking watch for smaller wrists. Thin profile with wood grain and classic styling. Keeps perfect time. No adjustments required since purchase. The only complaint (which cost it a star) is that the leather band is very stiff. Would be nice if it were a little more supple. Perhaps it will loosen up over time.

Very Large Face
Beautiful design. Loved the watch but returned because the face was too large. A matter of taste really. I did nto think my son would like such a large face but I did order the 40 MM and it is perfect.

The wood bezel is actually much thinner than what it looks like in the photos (almost non existent to me for the price you pay for it).

I love my original grain watch
This is my second original grain watch...these are my favorite watches. Unique yet understated. Curiously complimented on by many.

too dark for my vision
OK but dark background leaves little contrast with numeral indicators...not enough contrast for my aging eyes...
