Why Analog Wooden Watches Are Better for You and the Planet Than Smartwatches

Smartwatches are convenient and flashy, but they come with hidden costs—for both you and the planet. At TRÆUR, we believe that analog wooden watches offer a sustainable, timeless, and meaningful alternative.

🌍 Environmental Impact of Smartwatches

Smartwatches contain lithium batteries, rare metals, and plastics that require intensive mining and energy to produce. These components have a short lifespan and are often discarded, contributing to e-waste and pollution. External references: EPA – E-Waste Facts, Greenpeace – Electronics and E-Waste

🌿 Why Wooden Analog Watches Are Sustainable

TRÆUR wooden watches are crafted from renewable natural materials and are biodegradable at the end of their life cycle. They do not require batteries or electronic components, which means no e-waste and a lower carbon footprint. Learn more: Sustainable Fashion Academy – Sustainable Materials
