3 ATM water-resistant Emporizen wooden watch

Are Wooden Watches Waterproof?

Wooden watches are loved for their natural look and sustainable style. But one of the most common questions is: Are wooden watches waterproof?

In this post, we’ll explain what “waterproof” really means, the level of water resistance in Emporizen watches, and how to protect your wood watch.

💧 1. Are wooden watches waterproof?

No, wooden watches are not waterproof. However, Emporizen watches are water-resistant up to 3 ATM, which means they’re protected against:

  • Light rain
  • Splashing water (e.g. handwashing)
  • Moisture in daily wear

But they are not suitable for:

  • Swimming or diving
  • Showering or bathing
  • Prolonged submersion

So while you don’t have to worry about everyday contact with water, it’s best to remove your watch for anything more intense.

⚙️ 2. What does 3 ATM mean?

“3 ATM” (or 3 atmospheres) indicates that the watch can withstand pressure equivalent to 30 meters underwater.
➡️ Important: This doesn’t mean it can be used at that depth — it’s a lab measurement. In real life, 3 ATM = splash-resistant, not swim-ready.

Emporizen wooden watches are carefully sealed and treated to meet this standard while keeping their natural wooden integrity intact.

🧴 3. How to protect your wooden watch

Here’s how to keep your watch safe and long-lasting:

  • Don’t swim, shower, or submerge it
  • Wipe it dry after exposure to water
  • Store it in a cool, dry place
  • Apply natural wood oil (like coconut or beeswax) every few months
  • Avoid extreme humidity or heat
