Section 1

Plain-English Summary

We believe you deserve to know exactly how this website makes money. This page gives you the full picture, clearly and without jargon.

Section 2

FTC & ASA Compliance

In accordance with the United States Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines on endorsements and testimonials (16 CFR Part 255), and the UK Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) guidelines, we disclose all material connections between ClubOfWatches.com and any products, services, or brands we mention.

This disclosure applies to all content on this website, including articles, buying guides, reviews, round-ups, and any other format in which affiliate links may appear.

Our practice also aligns with disclosure requirements in Canada, Australia, and the European Union, where similar transparency obligations apply to online publishers.

Section 3

How Affiliate Links Work

When you click a product link on our site that goes to a retailer (such as Amazon), that link may contain a tracking code identifying us as the referring source. If you then make a purchase within a qualifying time window — typically 24 hours for Amazon — we receive a small commission from the retailer.

Here is what this means in practice:

• The price you pay is exactly the same whether you use our link or navigate directly to the retailer.
• You are under no obligation to use our links.
• Clicking a link does not commit you to buying anything.
• Commission rates vary by product category and partner, but are typically a small percentage of the sale value.

Section 4

Section 5

Editorial Independence

Our affiliate relationships have no influence on our editorial content. Specifically:

• We do not accept payment from brands or retailers to write positive reviews.
• We do not alter our assessments of a product because we have an affiliate link for it.
• We will recommend a product we have no affiliate link for if it genuinely serves the reader.
• We will give a poor review to a product we do have an affiliate link for if it does not meet our standards.
• Our rankings and recommendations are based on our editorial judgment — not on which product earns us the highest commission.

If you ever feel that a piece of content appears unduly influenced by commercial considerations, we encourage you to contact us. We take editorial integrity seriously and will investigate any such concerns.

Section 6

Google AdSense

We display advertising on this website through Google AdSense. Google uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our site or other websites. You may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google’s Ads Settings.

Google’s use of advertising cookies is governed by their own Privacy Policy. We do not have access to or control over the cookies used by Google AdSense.

Ad revenue supports the operation of this website alongside affiliate commissions. Neither revenue stream grants advertisers any influence over our editorial content.

Section 7

No Extra Cost to You

We want to be absolutely clear: using our affiliate links costs you nothing extra. You pay the same price you would pay by going directly to the retailer’s website. The commission we receive is paid by the retailer from their own margin, not added to your purchase price.

If you find our content valuable and would like to support the site, using our links when you make a purchase you were already planning is the simplest way to do so — and it costs you nothing.
