Disclosure
Affiliate Disclosure
Plain-English transparency about how this site is funded — and why it doesn't affect what we recommend.
The short version
Some links on The Chrono Edit are affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a commission — at no extra cost to you. It never changes our rankings, our verdicts, or which products we choose to cover.
How it works
The Chrono Edit is a free, independent publication. Rather than charging readers or selling watches ourselves, we support the site through affiliate partnerships. When we link to a place you can check a price or buy a watch or accessory, that link may be tagged so that a qualifying purchase credits us with a small commission from the retailer or marketplace — not from you. The price you pay is exactly the same as it would be without our link.
We participate in, or are working to join, affiliate programs that may include the Amazon Associates Program, the eBay Partner Network, watch marketplaces such as Chrono24, and reputable dealer programs. Where a partnership is not yet active, outbound "check price" links still point to genuine retailers and marketplaces so you can research independently.
Our commitment
- Commissions never influence rankings. A product does not place higher because it pays more, and we recommend products we have no affiliate relationship with whenever they are the right answer.
- Disclosure is visible at the point of recommendation. Commercial pages carry a clear disclosure near the first affiliate link, in addition to this page.
- Affiliate links are marked appropriately. Outbound commercial links use
rel="sponsored nofollow"as search engines request. - Independence is documented. See our editorial policy and testing methodology.
FTC compliance
This disclosure is provided in line with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's guidance on endorsements and affiliate relationships. Our goal is simple: you should always know how we make money, and trust that it doesn't bend our advice.
