In the new age of online reviews, people are overwhelmed by content and underwhelmed by distinction. WristReview can help your brand reach a collective audience and set it apart from the rest.
Our readers know they can trust us. We’ve had our skin in the game since 2011, and people know they can rely on our advice.
The three most popular age groups for WristReview readers are 25-34, 35-44 and 45-54 with most visiting from the USA, but Europe and Asia are also heavily populated with the WristReview.com audience.
You’ll find our articles are covered on many other popular websites on the internet to bring you closer to the watches you love.
At WristReview, we pride ourselves on being as transparent as possible with our audience to fortify our objectivity as product reviewers. It is, therefore, part of our mission to inform you, the reader, of any content on WristReview which has been paid for by an external company (a company that is neither owned nor managed by WristReview).
As a blog with significant traffic flow, WristReview offers external companies the chance to promote their products and/or business on the website in several different formats. We offer advertisers several different banner and sidebar options, as well as promotions on the front page of the website, a full advert takeover of the site and custom advertising options as well. External companies may also advertise through the Weekly Newsletter which is emailed to audience members who have entered their email address into the sign-up bar on the website.
As well as adverts around the website, external companies may also advertise via articles published on the website. These articles are given the term ‘Sponsored’ and are generally written by a member of WristReview staff. However, some brands may have material prepared in advance and can publish this material through the website for a fee; this is known as a ‘Sponsored Post’.
Sometimes, external companies may request a staff member to review their product and/or service. In this case, external companies have the choice of four different options:
- Sponsored Editorial: This is where the external company supplies press material only, and an article is written by a member of staff.
- Sponsored Hands-On: A member of WristReview staff has access to a physical product or demonstration model of a product for review, usually in a branded boutique. This is also a time to produce photos ourselves instead of using press images created by the external company.
- Sponsored Fortnight Review: A Signature of WristReview, the Fortnight Review sees a member of staff spend two weeks with a product. During this time, they may undertake different activities as agreed with the external company supplying the product to assess that product’s performance. There is no set requirement to do this (i.e. there is no need to test a diving watch by taking it diving); however, the reviewer may do so if they wish. Sponsored Fortnight Reviews often include photography captured by the staff member or a third-party photographer.
- Sponsored Long-Term Review: Like a Sponsored Fortnight Review only longer. The staff member may keep the product for one month or more, as determined by the external company supplying the product. These tend to be the most opinionated articles, as the reviewer has been able to spend a more significant portion of their life with that product. As with the Sponsored Fortnight Review, photographs are generally captured and edited by either WristReview staff or a third party photographer. All images published on the website belong to WristReview, click here for more info.
There is no requirement or rule of any kind which stipulates that sponsored content written by staff members of WristReview has to be positive. If we are unhappy with a product, or if we find a potential defect or flaw, we will include this in our review (as well as reporting any matters arising to the external company as needed). We will never be paid only to write material that promotes products in a positive light as this undermines the credibility.
Sponsored articles written by staff members are peer-reviewed by both another WristReview staff member and the external company before publishing. However, we always hold firm on the opinion expressed by the writer.
If an external company wishes to respond to our feedback, they may do so. We may publish their response as an author’s note at the end of an article. However, this will only be done where we see fit.
Here are the facts about advertising on WristReview:
- WristReview is one of the world’s most popular watch blogs with record figures achieved for visits and readership of the site in 2020. This makes us an ideal way to reach out to our audience.
- As a for-profit blog, WristReview depends on advertisements to both provide income and increase traffic to the site.

- All sponsored posts (articles written by an external company) which are published on the website have been checked for relevance and usefulness. We will always reject submissions that fail to meet these requirements.

- Any viewpoints or opinions in sponsored posts, banner/sidebar adverts, or any other adverts implemented onto the site itself as a part of an external company’s marketing are the views solely of the external company. They, therefore, do not necessarily represent the views of WristReview or its writers.

You may find hyperlinks to Exquisite Timepieces embedded within articles. This is because Exquisite Timepieces stocks the brand that is the subject of the article. They typically look like this:
