### 3/5 — Full of left wing Trolls

*2025-10-30*

Someone wrote a review underneath claiming that some right wing guy owned it, he’s lying through his teeth! 
   Nothing could be further from the truth in fact it’s the complete opposite. Doesn’t matter though there’s still a lot of knowledgeable people there. This guy that wrote that review is one of those trolls! Still a good platform even though I’ve been attacked by these TDS-ed out lefties, it got so bad I had to delete my account and start over  after 3yrs after reaching out to the admin, they took two three weeks to even address the issues of me being shadow banned & being harassed by them. I’m not saying I’ll never be back but for now I’m done!

### 3/5 — No longer a friendly place

*2025-08-26*

I joined shortly before Max left. This forum used to be a casual place to actually discuss watches and horology. After the sales forum opened we now have sellers in the main forum. Even worse the political discussion has ruined the normal discussion. Between those with an agenda and the blatantly false information being posted no reasonable person should remain on this forum. Beware

### 4/5 — Enjoy

*2024-12-16*

It’s great fun and can be informative, but I also find myself spending too much time on it…. It’s Watch Crunch’s fault not mine.

### 3/5 — Keeps Signing Out

*2024-10-16, version 3.3.46*

Overall good app and community, however keeps signing me out and it’s starting to get annoying. Why can’t it keep me signed in?

### 5/5 — Great community and UX

*2024-09-17*

Exceptional user experience with gamification, data visualization and wrist time tracking for watch collections and an amazing community of watch enthusiasts to interact with.

### 4/5 — Great app and community.

*2024-09-14, version 3.2.41*

I’d like it to be easier to react to a photo. I find my self holding down or double tapping a photo to react/get options to reaction. Nothing happens. 

Going down taping on a reaction then choosing one is too many steps.

### 4/5 — Track wrist time without posting WRUW?

*2024-07-19*

It would be great if we could track wrist time without having to post WRUW everyday.

### 4/5 — Fantastic app!!! But it constantly requires updates.

*2024-07-01*

I love connecting to the watch community. Also, I’m tired of always having to update the app lol.

### 5/5 — Great App! Great Community!

*2024-06-10, version 3.1.14*

Highly recommend!

### 4/5 — Pretty good

*2024-02-09, version 3.0.33*

Now do native tho.

### 5/5 — Outstanding

*2024-01-16*

I like to talk like-minded colleagues. And also people that I don’t agree with. I’ve discussed a lot. It’s been a lot of fun.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Doesn't work.

*2026-04-25, version 4.0.5*

Doesn't let me sign up, doesn't let me sign in. Whenever tapping on any button it has just one message "something is wrong. Please try again".

### 1/5 — Haven’t been able to log in for half a year

*2026-02-26*

Use the Apple login and it hasn’t worked. Contacted support multiple times and they don’t even respond

### 1/5 — Literally broken sign in process

*2026-01-15*

I used this app for a few years but on iOS 26, I can no longer sign in through Apple. Just gives me an error message. What a joke.

### 1/5 — Ugh, Now Just Like All Forums

*2025-11-15*

Was a fine community until Max left and (1.) everyone is joining, including non hobbyist/non collectors. Folks are snide, lack any knowledge with limited wants to learn, and the feedback/posts prove it. I appreciate homages and $15 watches, but folks posting the same Addiesdive, Casio 5600, their one Rolex everyday for the sole reason to take a photo isn’t what this was about 2.) newer joiners seek reason to create controversy over politics. Avoid if you’re seeking a respite from daily hostilities. I’ll be sticking to those I collected with for 2 decades.

### 1/5 — Just Like All Forums

*2025-09-06*

Was a fine community until recently where newer joiners seek any reason to create controversy over politics. Avoid if you’re seeking a respite from daily hostilities.

### 1/5 — Right Wing MAGA Bias

*2025-03-23, version 3.4.82*

The owner, a right wing Asian dude, personally messaged me and threatened to delete my account if I didn’t stop posting rebuttals to MAGA right wing trolls. I deleted my account. If you’re LGBT, or left leaning, this isn’t platform isn’t for you. The owner and its moderators are MAGA bigots

### 1/5 — Run by the woke mob beware!

*2024-10-21*

I initially really did like this program. Until I found out, they had an agenda and silenced people with honest opinions. Don’t dare trash a brand or person that they’re obviously getting considerationb to help. You’ll get throttled down or worse.  I’ve  met  a lot of really cool people there thank God they reached out to me privately and I’ve retained their contact information because I’m about to delete this program I’m not going to collect Watches anymore. They’ve ruined it for me!

### 2/5 — Locked out, customer support useless

*2026-05-06*

Have been locked out of my WC account on my new iPhone for the past 6 months. Tried multiple ways of contacting customer support (email, posting on WC support forums) to no vail. Problem is using Apple Login—no way to “reset password” that I could with a regular email/password login. I can only log in on my iPad—which reduces my usage by 90%+. Guess this is one way to get rid of my WC addiction—good job WC team.

### 2/5 — Apple Sign-In fails in iOS 26, no response from support for months

*2025-12-12*

iPhone 17 and iOS 26 broke Sign-In with Apple.

Despite repeated requests to WatchCrunch support, I’ve yet to get any response.

It’s a shame as I did enjoy using WC up to this point.

### 2/5 — Editing is bad

*2024-01-05*

How did they manage to fork up iOS text fields? Did they try to write their own from scratch? Seems like it. Basic text selection doesn’t even work.

### 5/5 — 10/10 for watch lovers

*2026-06-10*

The only place you’ll ever see a Casio or Timex or even a microbrand you’ve never heard of get more attention than a Rolex. A place for true enthusiasts not for the flex chasers.

### 5/5 — Welcoming Forum

*2025-07-11*

Watch collecting is a small community of folks that come from all walks in life and has. Nothing to do with price, rather it’s about how it touches you. The community is excellent at assuring politics and outside influences aren’t accepted. The app is frequently updated, easy to navigate, and now includes watches for sale.

### 5/5 — Lots of fun!

*2025-04-22*

Love sharing with my fellow watch nerds. App needs a little polish, but if it gets stuck a restart always fixes it.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2025-04-22, version 3.4.93*

Recommended for any watch lover!!

### 5/5 — Would be good to show how many people have viewed your post

*2025-04-22, version 3.4.93*

I feel the app would be better if we can see how many people have viewed our posts. Like X does. But other than that this app is really amazing for watch enthusiasts

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-02-14, version 3.4.82*

It’s a great app for a watch nerd like me. Very friendly forum. No judgements, just good chat. Weekends and lunchtimes I just pop in and enjoy this guilty pleasure. A special thank you to Max.

### 5/5 — Community

*2024-12-19, version 3.3.69*

Excellent App. Excellent Community. No shenanigans.

### 5/5 — Watch geeks unite

*2024-11-29*

Great app to see other watches and keep track of your collection.

### 5/5 — A home for watch enthusiasts

*2024-10-02*

A wonderful gathering place for watch nerds to exchange ideas and share content. A great place to learn about upcoming events and new projects. Most of all it’s a place to share your watch collection!!

### 5/5 — Watch out for the best app!

*2024-09-19, version 3.2.41*

Great, positive and supportive community of driven watch enthusiasts.
