## What is WatchPatrol?

Enthusiasts run the same loop every day: WatchUSeek, r/Watchexchange, eBay, half a dozen more tabs. WatchPatrol runs the loop for you — every forum classifieds thread and marketplace listing in one searchable index.

Forum classifieds are where rare references surface and where prices haven't been marked up. WatchPatrol indexes 20+ sources — 450+ brands, 5,000+ catalogued models — with filters for brand, model, price, size, and more.

KNOW THE NUMBER
Median ask, price spread, and price history for every model — built from real asks across sources, so you walk into a deal knowing what's fair. Model pages add image galleries, community sentiment, and videos.

LET THE HUNT RUN ITSELF
Star a listing and we'll flag the price drop, by push or email. Save a search and new matches come to you — instead of the other way around.

IDENTIFY BY PHOTO
Can't place a watch? Photograph it and get model matches by image similarity. Requires a free sign-in.

KNOW WHO'S SELLING
Seller pages show listing history and community feedback. And a straight answer on what we are: a search engine, not a marketplace. Every listing links back to its source, the deal happens where the seller posted it, and you bring your own diligence — we bring the price context.

Free. Sign-in optional (Apple or Google) — search and pricing work without an account. iPhone and iPad.

### 5/5 — A must-have for serious watch collectors

*2026-08-18*

Watch Patrol has made hunting for watches so much easier. Instead of manually checking WatchUSeek, Rolex Forums, and other threads every day, it pulls listings into one place and alerts me the second something I’m watching for shows up. I’ve caught deals I would’ve totally missed otherwise. Works great, super reliable — a must-have if you’re serious about watch collecting. Highly recommend!

### 5/5 — You Need This App!

*2026-07-30*

If you’re watching enthusiast or if you’re in the market for any type of Watch or any Watch accessory, this is *the* must-have app download it now; you won’t regret it!

### 1/5 — Return button doesn’t generate search

*2024-07-13*

App is broken. You can no longer hit enter to prompt a search, you have to search an exact term and select something from a dropdown menu to run a search. Good luck searching for anything that isn’t a super popular model.

### 1/5 — Search

*2024-03-21*

Search feature is broken

### 3/5 — Great, but search not working

*2024-01-19*

The search bar won’t allow searches I write in. If I type “R-O” then Rolex comes up and I can click on that, but I can’t typed Rolex and press enter.  Big flaw.

### 3/5 — Stopped working for Watchuseek listings

*2023-05-08*

Until the developer fixes whatever the issue is with watchuseek listings, this app isn’t very useful.

### 1/5 — Chasity belt guarded

*2019-07-21*

This app will not let u log in. Claims not registered many attempts verification denied. First of many installed watch apps. With this issue. 
So I just say”NEXT”

### 5/5 — My favorite watch search tool

*2018-11-19*

I had been using WatchRecon for a long time until Mike sent me a link for his service. WatchPatrol has a nicer visual design and more features that are easier to use. Right now it seems to be collecting listing from more forums, and the pricing history data is really useful. If anybody is looking to research prices in pre-owned watches, find some details on a watch they have heard of, or is just looking for real life pictures of a watch they heard about in a review, this is the best possible tool to use. Great work! The seamless integration between the web and mobile applications is a fantastic luxury.

### 2/5 — Why?

*2018-04-07*

Why do i need to log into a app that shows watches for sale on watch forums?  WatchRecon doesn’t require it. Yet, you seem to think it’s necessary. Until i can watch various watches for sale without having to log in, your app will remain deleted.

**Developer response:** Hi Jbhemmer, thanks for your feedback. I just want to clarify something – there is no requirement to login or create an account unless you want to save alerts. All of the forum browsing functionality is available for anonymous users. The reason you need to create an account for alerts is so I know where to send push notifications, and so I can save your preferences.

### 4/5 — Good app with potential to be great

*2017-10-16*

The app does what WatchRecon does, but with more features such as showing seller's feedbacks and price trend. The search, however, is weaker and doesn't pick up certain posts that WatchRecon does. Both apps limit you to 8 alerts. I wish you could set up more alerts. I would even pay $1-2 if it meant we could set up ~30 alerts.
