About Luxury Watcher

What is Luxury Watcher?

Luxury Watcher is a curated newsletter and website focused on luxury watch news, releases, and market insights. We deliver a daily digest of the top stories and, for paid subscribers, a premium weekly newsletter with deeper analysis, market context, and reference notes.

Is the content only about luxury watches?

Yes. We focus on luxury and fine watchmaking: new releases, industry news, market trends, and collector-focused insights. Our content is intended for enthusiasts and anyone interested in staying informed about this space.

Free vs Paid (Plus)

What do I get with the free tier?

Free subscribers receive a daily email with up to five news items and links to full articles on our site. On the website, free users can read one full article per day. This lets you sample our curation and stay broadly informed at no cost.

What does the Plus subscription include?

Plus subscribers get everything in the free tier, plus: unlimited article reads on the website, our premium weekly newsletter (market context, price movement interpretation, historical reference notes, and expert analysis), and price watcher alerts. See the full comparison on our pricing page.

Can I try Plus before paying?

We sometimes offer limited-time trials (e.g. 14-day free trial). When available, the offer and sign-up flow are shown on our pricing page. Otherwise, you can subscribe to a monthly plan and cancel anytime if it is not for you.

Signing Up and Subscribing

Why do I need to create an account to subscribe?

An account lets us deliver your daily and weekly emails, remember your subscription and reading preferences, and give you a secure way to manage billing and cancel if you choose. We keep sign-up simple and only ask for what we need.

How do I subscribe to Plus?

Sign up or log in, then go to the pricing page. Choose monthly or annual billing and complete checkout. You can pay by card through our secure payment provider (Stripe). After payment, you will have immediate access to Plus features.

Can I switch between monthly and yearly billing?

Yes. You can manage your subscription (including switching between monthly and annual plans) through the customer portal. Use the link or option in your account or subscription confirmation email to open the portal and change your plan.

Cancellation and Refunds

How do I cancel my Plus subscription?

You can cancel at any time through the customer portal (e.g. the link we provide for managing your subscription). Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing period; until then, you keep full access. We do not charge cancellation fees.

Do you offer refunds?

Refunds are considered on a case-by-case basis. If you believe you are entitled to a refund (e.g. under local consumer law or a specific offer), please contact us. We will respond in line with our policy and applicable law.

I canceled but was charged. What should I do?

If you canceled and were still charged, it may be that the charge was for a period before the cancellation took effect (we do not refund unused time within a billing period unless required by law). If you think the charge is in error, contact us and we will look into it.

Newsletter and Emails

How do I unsubscribe from the newsletter?

Every email we send includes an unsubscribe link at the bottom. Click it to stop receiving that type of email. You can also manage your email preferences in your account or profile. Unsubscribing from marketing or the daily digest does not automatically cancel a paid subscription—use the customer portal for that.

I'm not receiving emails. What should I check?

First check your spam or promotions folder and add our sending address to your contacts. Ensure the email on your account is correct (you can check this in your profile). If you still do not receive emails, contact us and we can help verify your subscription and delivery status.

Account and Security

How do I update my email or password?

You can update your profile and email from your account or profile page. If you signed up with email and password, you can change your password there or use the “Forgot password” flow on the login page. If you signed in with Google, password management is through your Google account.

Is my payment information secure?

We do not store your full card number. Payments are processed by Stripe, a widely used and PCI-compliant payment provider. Your card details are entered on Stripe’s secure pages and never pass through our servers. We only receive limited billing information (e.g. last four digits) as needed for support and records.

Privacy and Data

Do you sell my personal data?

No. We do not sell your personal data. We use your information only to provide the Service, process payments, send the newsletters you signed up for, and improve our offering. Details are in our Privacy Policy.

How can I request deletion of my data?

You can request deletion of your personal data by contacting us through the contact or support option on our website. We will process your request in line with our Privacy Policy and applicable law. Some data may be retained where required for legal or accounting purposes.

Getting Help

How can I contact support?

Use the contact or support option available on our website. We aim to respond to all inquiries in a timely manner. For billing and subscription changes, you can also use the customer portal where applicable.

Where can I find legal and policy information?
