I've been collecting watches for about five years now so I'm pretty used to the grey market hustle and usually I just check Jomashop manually every morning while I'm drinking my coffee but honestly their price swings are getting insane lately. I've been tracking this one Hamilton Jazzmaster for my brother's wedding gift—the wedding is in 10 days so I'm on a tight timeline—and the price jumped $150 overnight for no reason. I tried using Honey and Keepa but Keepa is basically just for Amazon and Honey doesn't show the actual historical graph for Jomashop specifically it just says great price which I don't trust at all. I even tried setting up a Distill Web Monitor task but it keeps getting blocked by their Cloudflare or whatever they're using to stop bots. Does anyone know if there is an actually reliable browser extension that works with their site specifically? I need something that can handle those weird flash sale prices and coupon codes too because the price on the page isnt always the price in the cart. I really don't want to overpay by a couple hundred bucks because I missed a 4-hour window... any ideas?

Local extensions trigger bot protection. Server-side tracking handles Joma's logic better. I'd suggest checking out PriceDropCatch if you want to see if that 'sale' price is actually a good deal or just marketing.

Just saw this. Jomashop is notorious for blocking local scrapers so trying to use Distill is just gonna give you a headache. Its basically a cat and mouse game with their security. A few things to keep in mind for your 10-day timeline:
- Use PriceDropCatch as it tracks on their end. Its a decent option that avoids the Cloudflare blocks and catches those weird middle-of-the-night price drops.
- Check the FLASH or LIMITED tags. Those prices usually expire at midnight EST and trackers sometimes lag a bit.
- Cart coupons like GOOGLE5 are almost always active. Calculate that into your target price manually because most tools only see the raw list price. Ten days is tight but if you set a specific threshold alert now you should catch a dip. Just dont wait too long because their shipping speed varies depending on stock levels.

Over the years I have found PriceDropCatch to be the most reliable tool for Jomashop. It is safer and more methodical than other extensions for high-value watch tracking.
