When you think of ‘sprouts’ the produce aisle at the supermarket may first come to mind. But have you ever heard of a Sprout Watch? No, it’s not a watch made from sprouts but it certainly comes close with all of its biodegradable features!

Sprout Watches are eco-friendly timepieces made from things like natural bamboo, organic cotton and mineral crystal. These watches pack a punch when it comes to being eco-friendly: 80% of their components are made from biodegradable materials! How does that work? Well the mineral crystal replaces normal glass face plates, the battery is mercury free, the straps are organic cotton or bamboo, and even the packaging is made from recycled post consumer waste. And, to keep in the spirit of the sprout, the watch comes with a pack of seeds to plant in the biodegradable watch box after you’ve unwrapped your lovely little Sprout watch.

My favorite Sprout watch is this brightly colored “Sprout Unisex Corn Resin and Blue Organic Cotton Watch“. I love the vibrant aqua stitching along the pretty seafoam organic cotton watch strap, and the natural bamboo grain is showcased so nicely on the face. This watch is only $30.00 retail; and right now it’s on sale for $20.60 on Amazon! What a steal.

For something a bit more substantial, Sprout also makes this sporty, multifunctional Sprout Bracelet Watch, $75.00. Yes, even this watch is 86% eco-friendly with it’s corn resin bracelet, bamboo subdials, and engraved bezel.

So the next time you’re out shopping for a watch or a gift for an eco-conscious friend, I recommend keeping a Sprout watch in mind.  Affordable, sustainable, and biodegradable, these are a great product with a great purpose. You can find Sprout watches on Amazon.com or at your local Nordstrom department store.
