What's the consensus on wooden watches? (self.watches)

So I do have my own watch collection of swatches and various brands, but I noticed no one really posts anything about wooden watches. I've been pretty big on them the past couple of years and have 5, but I usually see more classic/staple watch posts on Reddit and now Lemmy (Reddit is dead to me).

What's your opinion; are you for or against wood Timepieces and why?

Watches are ultimately a way for a person to express themselves. If a person likes a particular style, they should enjoy themselves!

I’m all about exotic materials (meteorite), difficult processes (chamfered bracelets), displays of time (jumping hours), or just excellent engineering, attention to detail, etc.

I personally have yet to come across a wooden watch that would make me want to wear it.
