Editorial Policy

ABWatches.co.uk is an independent UK-based watch blog. This Editorial Policy explains how content is created,
how opinions are formed, and the standards used to keep articles clear, useful, and trustworthy for readers.

1. Editorial Independence

Content on ABWatches.co.uk is written independently. We do not accept paid placement in exchange for favourable coverage,
ranking positions, or “guaranteed” mentions. Where commercial relationships exist (for example, affiliate links), they do not
determine the conclusions or tone of the writing.

2. What We Publish

ABWatches.co.uk focuses on watches as objects of design and long-term ownership: comfort, proportions, legibility,
finishing, and perceived value over time. Articles may include:

• Brand and model overviews (e.g., Rolex, Omega, Breitling, Patek Philippe)
• Wearability and comfort notes (fit, bracelet feel, daily practicality)
• Design analysis (dial balance, case shape, readability, proportions)
• Guides that help readers compare options and set realistic expectations
• Industry observations and broader collecting culture

3. How Articles Are Created

Articles are written based on a combination of hands-on impressions where possible, structured research,
and long-term observation of model variations. When discussing specifications, we aim to describe what matters
for real-world ownership rather than repeating marketing language.

Not every watch discussed is physically owned by the author. When hands-on access is not available, the article
is written as research-led commentary and will prioritise verifiable information and practical comparisons.

4. Use of Language and Claims

ABWatches.co.uk avoids absolute claims and exaggerated promises. Watches are often compared by trade-offs rather than “best”
statements. Where opinions are given, they are presented as opinions—not as universal truths.

5. Discussion of Genuine Models and High-Grade Replicas

Some readers in the UK market compare genuine watches with high-grade replicas as part of broader research into design,
wearability, and perceived value. Where this topic appears on ABWatches.co.uk, it is addressed in an editorial context:
to describe differences in finishing, proportions, and expectations—rather than to provide selling, ordering, or transaction
assistance.

ABWatches.co.uk is not affiliated with any brand or manufacturer, and the site does not claim official status in relation
to any watch brand. Brand names and trademarks are used strictly for identification and editorial commentary.

6. Affiliate Links and Sponsorship

Some pages may contain affiliate links. If a reader chooses to follow an affiliate link, ABWatches.co.uk may receive
a small commission at no additional cost to the reader.

Affiliate relationships do not buy positive coverage. If a product or service is mentioned, it is because it may be relevant
to readers, not because an advertiser requested it.

7. Corrections and Updates

Accuracy matters. If factual errors are identified, we aim to correct them. Updates may be made to improve clarity,
reflect changes in model specifications, or add additional context.

If you believe an article contains an error, please contact us via the
Contact Us page with the URL and the relevant section.

8. Product Images and References

Images and references are used to support editorial discussion. Where third-party materials are used,
they remain the property of their respective owners and are shown for informational context.

9. Reader Conduct

ABWatches.co.uk welcomes thoughtful discussion. We may remove comments or messages that are abusive,
spam-based, or irrelevant to the editorial purpose of the site.

10. Policy Changes

This Editorial Policy may be updated periodically to reflect changes in site scope or publishing standards.
The most current version will always be available on this page.
