/

Some of the smallest products become the hardest to pull off.  Years in the making, we are proud to present our stainless watch bands with Koa wood inlay.  You'd think it'd be easy but our attention to detail and desire to have a flush epoxy over the top of the Koa made it extremely difficult.

  • Butterfly Hidden Clasp
  • Adjustable Link Bracelet
  • 2 Year "NO HASSLE" Warranty
  • Free and Fast Shipping...Easy Returns/ Exchanges

The 24mm iwatch bands will fit all the 42 and 44mm watches.  We use a butterfly clasp which creates a seamless uninterrupted  bracelet and adds to the minimalist aesthetic. The coupling attachments slide perfectly into the iWatch allowing for an easy change.

 

ONE OF A KIND, SMALL BATCH PRODUCTION

We design our wood accessories and hand finish the Koa wood in our small shop in Honolulu. We've focused on small batch production so we can guarantee the best quality while providing a wood watch that is truly unique and rare. We use only the most amazing "curly" grained Koa from the Big Island...the most rare, beautiful, and expensive. We encase our Koa in an equally worthy stainless link and add epoxy to keep it life proof. The high-end butterfly clasp finish it out with class.

DID WE MENTION THE WOOD?

Koa only grows in the Hawaiian islands and we use only the most rare and beautiful "curly" grained Koa. It gives an iridescence and movement to the wood. We hand finish all the wood in our small shop in Honolulu which ensures the face becomes the crowning jewel. Read the full Hawaiian Koa Wood Story →

ISLAND INSPIRED DESIGN

Add a bit of warmth to your i-watch with an infusion of Hawaiian Koa wood. We get it...you can't function without a supercomputer on your wrist...here's a way to personalize it and give it a bit of an Island vibe. The Stainless Steel band is solid and heavy in weight and creates a life-proof design.

LIFE-PROOF CONSTRUCTION

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Koa + Stainless iWatch Band?

We added iWatch adapters to our stainless steel band with Koa inlay. Classic style Stainless band, enhanced with our hand inlaid Koa…completed in our shop in Honolulu. The band has a hidden butterfly clasp for a continuous look.

Which Apple Watch models does it fit?

This is the 24mm width — it fits the larger Apple Watch cases (42/44/45/46mm). Adapters come installed so it slides straight into your watch.

How is this different from the all-wood band?

This one is mostly stainless with a Koa inlay — heavier, cooler on the skin, and reads as a metal band with a wood accent. The all-wood band is the opposite: warm, light, and reads as a wood band with metal accents. Both look great; it comes down to whether you want your watch band to lead with wood or with metal.

Can I resize it myself?

Yes — the stainless links pop out with a standard watch-band tool, just like any metal watch band. Easy to do with a watch sizing tool or take to any watch shop which can size it in 5 minutes.

Will the Koa inlay hold up to daily wear?

Yes — the Koa is sealed and set flush into the stainless so it can't catch or lift. Water and sweat are fine. The stainless takes the hits, the Koa keeps the character.

What's special about the Hawaiian Koa wood?

We use only the most rare and beautiful "curly" grained Koa from the Big Island of Hawaii — the tightest curl density is what makes the wood look like it's moving in the light. Pictures really can't do it justice. I waited 10 years for the current log of curly Koa. The wood is sustainably harvested from dead or dying trees on private land — no live-tree harvesting — and hand-finished in our shop in Honolulu.

Beautiful Watchband Didn't Fit Watch

The band did not work. I have made 3 attemps to return the item with no success. I need the return label. Please help. A phone number would be nice. My attemps on line have been frustrating with poor customer service.

Happy With This

I bought both the all-koa band and the silver band with koa inserts. The koa band is very light (good) and the silver band is unexpectedly heavy (also good). I’m impressed by the craftsmanship. The marketing messages are very clever. One of the Menehune made an error by shipping the wrong band, but Brett was highly responsive in addressing his assistant’s confusion. Note that the watchbands require a link removal tool ($6 on Amazon) to adjust the size- or take it to a jeweler who can do it on the spot.

Awesome 5th Wedding Anniversary Gift!

I found Pono Woodworks one day, while searching for a 5th year Wedding Anniversary gift. Being that the traditional gift to give on the 5th year is anything made out of wood, I was searching high and low for something made of wood that is unique. I then stumbled across Pono Woodworks and I was mesmerized by the beauty of the Koa wood inlay jewelry and thought what a fantastic idea it is to give something made of Koa wood! So I found the perfect gift for my husband which is the Apple Watch stainless steel wristband with Koa wood inlays. When my husband received it, he was floored! He thought it was one of the coolest and classiest watch bands he’s ever seen! I also bought a Koa necklace for myself and it is absolutely exquisite! My next purchase is a Koa ring! I’m now a new fan of Pono Woodworks!

Beautiful, sleek watch band. Quality made, with subtle hints of Koa. Wish it had a couple more squares of it on either side, but it is a super classy, handsome band.
Love it!
