How TheWristDex works.

Discovery you can understand

The What’s Hot tab contains Hot this week (seven days) and Popular this month (30 days), both ranked by brand-page opens. Repeat opens count once per visitor, per brand, per day; automated traffic is filtered on a best-effort basis. These are activity signals, not endorsements or audited audience counts.

Brand information

Budget tiers are approximate. Style and movement filters use the brand’s description and may not reflect its complete range. Confirm specifications, prices, availability, and contact details on official sources. Claim requests and corrections are reviewed manually; paid placement is not proof of ownership.

Links and partnerships

Current shopping links lead to the listed brand or retailer. Future affiliate links will be identified next to the link, and sponsored guides or newsletters will be clearly labeled. An ordinary link is not evidence of an affiliate relationship.

Community reviews and moderation

Members can review watches they own, bought or previously owned and add up to five brand labels. Ownership labels are self-reported, not verified purchases. Likes and dislikes reflect member reactions; they are not proof of accuracy. One account gets one reaction per review.

Member profile names, bios, review text, comments, uploaded profile pictures, photos and videos require administrator approval before publication. Uploads are held in private storage first. Human review can miss problems; use Report on a post, photo, video, comment or profile to alert the administrator. Pending or rejected content stays hidden from the public. The administrator can remove content and suspend community accounts. A car or other surroundings may appear alongside a featured watch, but unrelated review media, nudity and pornography are not allowed. Profile pictures may be personal photos and do not need to feature a watch. Replacement profile pictures stay private pending approval while the previous approved picture remains visible.

The Admin badge identifies the site administrator only. Authors can edit or remove their posts; edits return to administrator review. Reports are visible only to the administrator. Rejected content is not published.

Your data

Your TheWristDex profile stores your name and optional company name, linked to your Google sign-in. Approved reviews, media, optional ratings, public names, bios, and posting dates are visible to everyone. Favorites are private by default; you can make them public in your profile. Private favorites are not exposed through public profile responses. Comment history on your public profile is also private by default and has its own visibility setting; approved comments remain visible beneath the reviews where you posted them. Your account page and pending comments are private. Submission notifications are stored for the administrator to review. Community uploads are reviewed by the site administrator; automated AI screening is not enabled. Do not upload sensitive personal information. Review authors’ email addresses and Google account identifiers are not shown publicly. A short posting cooldown is stored against your account to reduce spam. We do not store passwords. Signed-in favorites are stored with your site account. We store the email and details you provide for brand requests and newsletter signup. Newsletter signup is optional and can be removed on its page.

Activity tracking stores a daily hashed visitor identifier, brand, event type, and date. It uses the signed-in account or network address when available, with an anonymous first-party cookie as a fallback. Raw network addresses are not saved in activity records. Shared networks and automated traffic can affect counts. Older events are removed during subsequent tracking requests.

You can remove favorites individually and leave the newsletter list at any time. Brand representatives can request changes to submitted information through the brand request form.
