## What is The Watch League?

The Watch League is the home for watch nerds. It answers a question nobody asked: which watches would come out on top if we all had a say?

Every watch in The League has a rank. You're the reason it moves.

Swipe right to vote a watch up. Swipe left to send it down. Leave a take. Start an argument. Join our members who apparently have very strong feelings about case diameter and whether a date window ruins everything.

BROWSE
See where every watch stands in the all-time rankings, updated live. Filter by sub-league, brand, or just your favourites.

SEARCH
Search across 1,000+ watches. Browse what's new to The League, what's rising this week, recommendations based on your vote history, and watches you might have missed.

CURATE
Swipe right to upvote, left to downvote. Leave a written verdict on every watch you rate. Your votes update the live rankings in real time — every swipe counts.

DISCUSS
A social feed of hot takes from your fellow watch nerds, considered verdicts, and the occasional horological hill someone is prepared to die on. Swipe right to Agree with a post, left to Disagree. Leave a note for the author. Compose your own take. Read editorial from The Prodigal Guide. Your Reactions tab shows who responded to you and what they said.

NOMINATE
Think something's missing? Search first — if it's not in The League yet, nominate it. Type a reference number and brand, model, case material, and specs fill in automatically.

YOUR PROFILE
Claim your @handle. Build a profile with your bio, favourite brand, One Watch Only pick, social links, and Favourites. Share your public profile at thewatchleague.app/@yourhandle — via link or QR code for in-person handoffs.

THE COMMUNITY
Follow members whose taste you respect — or whose opinions you enjoy disagreeing with. See who's following you. Find new members. Share any watch with a branded card and a link that opens directly in the app.

THE WEEKLY DISPATCH
Every Friday: the week's biggest movers, your personalised results — "The League agreed with you" and "The League disagreed with you" — and hand-picked writing from The Prodigal Guide.

The Watch League is completely free. Always will be. If you're enjoying it, a rating or review in the App Store takes thirty seconds and genuinely means the world to us.


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.7.1 — 2026-08-03

# What's New — v1.7.1

The watch detail page has been redesigned around a single, unified "What League members say" section. Vote reasons and community comments now appear together in one scrollable column rather than being split across two separate sections. A small "X For · Y Against" summary line above the list preserves the at-a-glance verdict.

Vote-reason cards carry a thumbs-up or thumbs-down indicator so you always know whether a post is attached to a vote or is a freeform comment. A clapping-hands count in green and a raised-hand count in red appear under the author's name on any post that has reactions.

A filter and sort bar sits above the list. Filter to see only "For" votes, "Against" votes, or standalone comments. Sort by Newest, Oldest, or Most Agreed — where Most Agreed ranks by net reaction score (claps minus boos), with recency as the tiebreaker.


We're beavering away on The Watch League so you don't have to — and it will always be completely free for members. If you're enjoying it, a quick rating or review in the App Store takes thirty seconds and genuinely means the world to us.

### 1.7 — 2026-05-20

The Social Update...updated.

Following the introduction of the Discuss feed in our last version, we've made some improvements to protect you from trolls:

Before you enter the League for the first time, you must read and agree to our community rules. The rules are clear: no objectionable content, no abusive behaviour, and an expectation that members report anything that breaks them. This is The Watch League, for Goodness' sake.

Every post has a ··· button. Tap it to Report or Block — offending content disappears from your feed immediately. On your own posts the same button reveals a Delete option for when you've reconsidered. All reports are reviewed by the admin team within 24 hours.

### 1.6 — 2026-05-14

This is the social update. The Watch League is no longer just a voting machine — it's a conversation.

THE DISCUSS TAB

The Connect tab is now Discuss: a scrollable social feed of watch opinions from every member of The League, all anchored to the watches you know and care about.

Every card in the feed tells you exactly what someone thinks — and why. Vote-reason cards show a member's verdict on a specific model alongside their written take. Comment cards let members post thoughts directly. And editorial cards from The Prodigal Guide bring hand-picked watch writing into the feed automatically, no curation required.

Agree or Disagree with any post by swiping right or left — a satisfying flash of green or red confirms your reaction. When you react, you can optionally leave a short note for the author. Pure social signal; reactions never affect a watch's score.

Your Reactions tab is a personal inbox: see exactly who agreed or disagreed with your posts, which watch they were reacting to, and any note they left you. The Discuss tab icon shows an unread badge in real time.

The Compose button (bottom right) lets you post a comment on any watch directly from the feed. It appears on the watch's model page too — same content, two surfaces.

ALSO NEW

Favourites tab on member profiles. See your hearted watches in one place, and browse any other member's favourites on their public profile. A Privacy toggle in Settings keeps your list private if you prefer.

SPIT AND POLISH

Changing your vote direction (upvote → downvote) now counts as a new vote in the Watch Nerds leaderboard.

Re-downvoting a watch you've already downvoted now has a negative impact on its ranking, mirroring re-upvote behaviour.

Members can no longer join without a @handle. The prompt now requires a handle to close, and the check fires immediately on sign-in — not just at launch.

Downvoting a watch could incorrectly cause it to move up the rankings. Fixed.

QR code on the Share Profile sheet was obscuring the title. Fixed; the app icon is correctly composited into the centre of the QR code.

### 1.5.7 — 2026-05-08

We broke voting in the last update. Then we fixed it but broke the vote counts. Then we fixed that too. v1.5.7 is what 1.5.5 should have been — everything works, including vote counts updating correctly when you change your mind about a watch.

Sorry for the turbulence.

### 1.5.6 — 2026-05-08

This update fixes a critical issue introduced in 1.5.5 that prevented votes from being saved. Everything should work as expected now. Sorry for the inconvenience.
