This page explains how this website is funded, how its content is produced, and what rules govern its use. It is a policy page, not a buying guide, and it contains no product recommendations.
About This Website
This website publishes reference and explanatory content about mechanical and solar watches: how the movements work, what specifications mean, how terminology is used across the category, and how to interpret manufacturer-published information.
Content is assembled from publicly available material, including manufacturer documentation, published specifications, and public-interest resources from government agencies. This website does not claim hands-on testing, laboratory measurement, ownership of the products discussed, or any form of first-hand evaluation. Where a statement cannot be supported by a citable public source, it is either omitted or clearly framed as general background rather than a factual finding.
Affiliate Disclosure
This website participates in retailer affiliate programs. As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
In plain terms: some links on this website point to third-party retailers. If you follow one of those links and complete a qualifying purchase, this website may receive a small commission from the retailer. The commission is paid by the retailer out of its own margin. It does not increase the price you pay, and it does not create any additional charge or obligation for you.
Affiliate participation does not change what is published. Commission rates are not a factor in which products are described, how they are described, or the order in which they appear. This website does not accept payment in exchange for favourable coverage, and no retailer or manufacturer reviews content before publication.
Prices, availability, and specifications shown by retailers change frequently. Any figure referenced on this website may be out of date by the time you read it, and the retailer's own listing is always the authoritative source at the moment of purchase. Purchases, returns, warranties, and refunds are contracts between you and the retailer, not with this website.
General consumer protection information, including guidance on complaints and consumer rights, is published by the United States government at USA.gov. Product safety information, including recall notices for consumer products, is published by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.
Privacy Policy
This website collects a limited amount of information. Standard web server logs may record an IP address, browser type, referring page, and the pages requested. Analytics tools may set cookies or similar identifiers to measure aggregate traffic, such as how many people visited a page and which pages they arrived from. Affiliate programs may also set cookies to attribute a referral to this website.
This information is used to understand aggregate usage and to receive credit for qualifying referrals. It is not used to build advertising profiles by this website, and it is not sold.
You can opt out at any time. Most browsers allow you to block or delete cookies, and many offer a private browsing mode. Browser-level tracking protection and device-level advertising controls also limit what can be collected. Blocking cookies may prevent affiliate attribution but will not restrict access to the content.
Terms of Service
Content on this website is provided for general information only, on an "as is" basis, without warranties of any kind. Nothing here is legal, financial, safety, or professional advice, and it should not be relied on as a substitute for manufacturer instructions or qualified professional guidance.
You may read, link to, and quote briefly with attribution. Republishing substantial portions without permission is not permitted. Third-party sites linked from here are governed by their own terms and policies, over which this website has no control. To the extent permitted by law, liability for any loss arising from use of this website is excluded.
Editorial Policy
Statements of fact are tied to identifiable public sources. Where a claim cannot be supported, it is removed rather than softened. Marketing language taken from manufacturers is identified as such rather than repeated as an independent finding.
Pages are revised when source material changes. Corrections are made directly on the affected page, and material corrections are noted rather than silently replaced.
