aBlogtoWatch Editorial Policies
aBlogtoWatch is an Internet magazine whose editorial and writing team writes mostly about wrist watches. As a blog/magazine we follow certain editorial policies designed to promote our mission of sharing a passion for timepieces and how to enjoy them.
aBlogtoWatch does not accept payments from brands to write positive reviews about their products. Never have. Never will.
aBlogtoWatch is a business. We generate income through advertising and are very proud of our sponsors. Advertising will always be clearly labeled and discernible from our independent editorial content.
aBlogtoWatch is for watch lovers, by watch lovers. aBlogtoWatch editors and writers enjoy what they do and are all part of the team because of a demonstrated passion and expertise for watches. Our “clients” are our audience and our “customers” are our advertisers. Our priority is to service our clients, because without a strong and trusting relationship with our audience we would have no reason to exist. Our customers choose to benefit from the volume, quality, and attention of our clients without altering or interfering with the publication/audience relationships we are extremely proud to have developed.
aBlogtoWatch is dedicated to covering a diverse scope of products that range from quite affordable in price to extremely exclusive and high-end in value. aBlogtoWatch takes pride in our ability to survey some of the best products at all points of the price spectrum.
aBlogtoWatch often covers extremely expensive items and is aware that purchasing such luxuries is a serious financial decision no matter who you are. Assisting people in making decisions about purchasing such items is not a responsibility we take lightly.
aBlogtoWatch writers have evolving tastes and experiences. It is possible that over time, a specific writer might change their opinion about a brand or product or gain new insight that may change the way they feel about any number of topics. aBlogtoWatch is very editorial-driven, so the personal experiences of our writers is a major driving force behind what we cover and how we cover it.
aBlogtoWatch is dedicated to consumer education and explaining how to appreciate the items we cover, as well as how to best assess value.
aBlogtoWatch does not want you to purchase any specific items, but rather to encourage your participation in a pursuit that our editorial team is strongly passionate about. Our goal is to help you make a personal decision about what products are best for you, and to explain what products we like and why.
aBlogtoWatch is involved in the watch industry in order to bring its audience the best possible coverage of novel products and news. Watch industry access is purely voluntary and may be revoked at any time. In order to bring our audience timely and personal coverage of watch industry products, aBlogtoWatch is proud of the relationships and trust we have developed with the watch industry and the people who form it.
aBlogtoWatch often makes editorial decisions on what products to cover, and how to cover them. It is not possible to cover every new watch-related product that is released, nor do we exclusively cover those products that we as individuals strictly want to purchase for ourselves. aBlogtoWatch is dedicated to covering what we consider to be the most important, interesting, newsworthy, and otherwise noteworthy timepieces and stories that our team comes across.
aBlogtoWatch is an international publication with audience members all over the world. Not everything we cover is available or represented in all global markets. And the prices of items that we publish may vary from country-to-country.
aBlogtoWatch prides itself on consulting and educating its audience members. However, it is not possible to answer all comments, e-mails, or request on an individual basis. As much as we would like to, aBlogtoWatch should not be expected to provide each audience member with personal advice or recommendations.
