So, I've been looking for an inexpensive watch to bum around in, and I'm pretty keen on getting a wood watch. I like the looks, and I recently purchased a few pair of Evoke Bamboo Sunglasses, and a wood watch would go well with them.
That said, I've done some research and there are a handfull of companies offering wood watches. Yet there is little (if any) information in the form of reviews on them. Has anyone actually seen/worn any of these?

I really like the look, but the reviews I found show some pretty shoddy craftsmanship. It's also got a pretty lackluster movement.

These look to be a bit better quality, and even offer a mechanical (though I don't like square watches, so I'd go with the quartz). No real reviews online.

Like the looks, but it doesn't specify the movement (assuming it's crap) and again, no reviews.

These look to be the highest quality, as well as the most expensive. They offer various mechanicals and even a moon phase, though I'm not going to drop $2k on a wooden watch so I'm limited to their quartz offerings.
So, anyone actually seen one of these in the flesh (er, wood)?
