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?

In terms of what I actually buy, I’m quite boring. Stainless steel, titanium at a push; have never taken an interest in precious metals or wood but have been tempted by ceramic and carbon fibre.

With the exception of solar powered variants I have a preference for mechanical rather than quartz movements. I’m not sure how to classify SpringDrive and that Bulova Accutron thing but I think they’re pretty neat.

The watch I find myself wearing the most (by quite a long way) is my white-dial Seamaster Professional.
