Sprout Eco Friendly Watches

I saw an ad for Sprout Watches in a magazine recently and I was really impressed with them. Of course I do not wear watches or any jewelry… they annoy me, but just in case I am actually freakish and most people do still wear watches, I thought I would mention them.

If you asked me a week ago what would be not so green about watches I would have only thought of the leather wrist straps but all of the sustainable features of these watches really shows how green conventional watches are NOT.

Sprout Watches are lead and phthalate free, have 100% organic straps, biodegradable case and buckle, the face plate is bamboo, the glass is mineral crystal made from sand not plastic plexi-glass, the battery is mercury free, and 80% of the packaging is recycled post consumer. I hear they also come with seeds that you can plant inside the watch box. Very cool. They are also VERY reasonable in price and nice looking too.

If your in the market for a watch or you want to gift one these would be good to consider.

    Corn allergic perspective… they’re made with corn! Nothing like having my son react to my watch… I wonder if the corn is gmo. They do look cool though, and if it weren’t for the corn I’d be all for it.

    I love my Sprout watch! Eco-friendly and really stylish. My 16 year old daughter was wearing mine so much that I bought her one too; at $27 it was worth it!

    Thank you for this review. I also saw the ad and was considering it as a birthday gift for my neice. I think I’m convinced to buy it after reading this.

    Does the Sprout company have a website- went to read about them and could not find it?

    Thanks!

    I actually just purchased this watch from my rewards through my cap one credit card. Was so happy they offered this type of option. Havent worn a watch for years but will definately wear this one once and a while especially as a discussion piece.
