Watch Deals Of The Day Together On One Site: WatchDODdy.com

Watch Deals Of The Day Together On One Site: WatchDODdy.com watch talk

A great way to get a good deal on a nice watch is to check out a "watch deal of the day" site. These sites have special prices on watches that last for 24 hours. Each day there is a new deal. If you are an avid follower of these sales, it can be a problem as there are so many to look at. Plus, there are some you don't even know about. I recently learned about WatchDODdy.com. It aggregates many (maybe all) of the watch deal of the deal sites together in one easy place. I think it is a great idea. Frankly, I appreciate it, but don't know what WatchDODdy.com gets out of it. They must have some super special plan. Or alternatively, they are watch lovers themselves who wanted to share their little creation.

They have a sense of humor too, which is good. Their domain name takes the "DOD" acronym from "Deal Of the Day" and wants to be your "doddy" (daddy) of watch deal portals. All they need now is an RSS feed (maybe they have one, it wasn't clear) and I am hooked. Still, you can follow them on Twitter if you don't want to revisit the site each day. Oh, and the Girard Perregaux Cat's Eye Joaillerie watch that is part of their banner. Yea, don't expect that to be part of any watch deal of the day website's daily offer. "We have one available for the excellent price of $400,000 - 21 hours and 4 minutes left!"

WatchDODdy.com has no less than 15 watch deal of the day websites listed right now. Plus, they are listed in order of "time ending soonest." Meaning that the deals are listed with the one's ending soonest on the top. You get the name of the site that offers the deal, the name of the watch, the price, and the time left in hours (no minutes, sorry - you aren't scoping out auctions on eBay here). I like that if you hover your mouse over the image of the watch, it expands - showing you a bigger image of the watch. If you want to get the watch or look more into it, just click it to go to the originating page!

Overall, the people behind WatchDODdy.com have built a nice little web application that is good for you, and good for me. Most of the deals are under $100, and some are for significantly more. Still waiting for that $10,000 watch deal of the day though. Anyhow, WatchDODdy.com is a good find, and thanks to the person who filled me in about it.

I am the creator of WatchDODdy.com and I wanted to thank you for the great (and very funny) review that you gave my site. WatchDODdy.com is both a labor of love and fulfills a need. I believe that everyone should have a nice watch at a reasonable price and these Deal of the Day sites provide this to us(albeit at a time limit). I can now sport my $795 MSP diamond Accutron(which I purchased for $88 dollars) and my $695 MSRP White faced Swiss Legend (which I purchased for $68) without foreclosing on my home. A couple of things:

1. RSS feeds have been added, you can click on the RSS icon on the top left.
2. The site does display minutes left on a deal but only if the deal has less then an hour to go.
3. I finally found a watch site that offers $10,000+ watch Deals of the Day,do if you got an extra couple of thousand dollars laying around you can get a really nice Corum. Its on my site check it out.

Thanks,

Omar

Every now and then, you see a nice, pricy (but not $10k) watch on these deal-a-day sites. On the day you posted this, for example, there was a Maurice Lacroix Pontos series for just $799. That seems like unreal - suspiciously unreal - savings on a $3000 watch. In your opinion, do buyers have to be worried about the authenticity of their purchases on these deals?

Hi Taylor,
I wouldn't be too worried about this. Most of the time they are getting stock form store closeouts or deep discounting models they are trying to move. To be honest, with some watch that are $3,000 retail you can sell at $800 and someone still makes a profit. The bottom line is that there are lots and lots of unsold nice watches out these due to the slump in the watch market and people are desperate to move watches, even at a slight loses. Bad for them, good for us. If there was an issue with watches being fake or having problems. Just feel all your order details and a nice stink.
