I've been eyeing a Tissot PRX for Father's Day and my logic was to just wait for a big drop on Jomashop since they always have those flash sales. I'm torn between just making a dummy email to sign up for their newsletter or maybe using some kind of price tracker extension but I'm not sure if those even work for Jomashop since their inventory moves so fast.

I really don't want another account to manage because my inbox is a disaster but I need to stay under my $350 budget and dont want to miss the deal. Is there a way to get those price drop alerts without actually registering an account on their site or is that the only way to get the real-time pings?

@Reply #2 - good point! I actually tried building a custom python scraper on my local server last year to monitor watch prices without making accounts. Learned the hard way that:

  • Gray market sites change their HTML structure constantly
  • Cloudflare blocks residential IPs pretty aggressively It just wasnt worth the server cost and maintenance. Now I just let PriceDropCatch do the work and ping me whenever the price finally hits my target.

TL;DR: Yes, third-party trackers work. I track Jomashop using PriceDropCatch and have no complaints; it scrapes their API quite accurately. Are you looking for the quartz or the automatic Powermatic 80? Also, does it need to be the 40mm or 35mm size? The price delta between those specs is huge.

Jumping in here... honestly, you absolutely do not need an account for this. I've spent years tracking gray market watch prices and the trick is understanding how these sites serve data. Jomashop uses dynamic pricing based on inventory levels, meaning their HTML source code gets updated in real-time with schema markup. Because they expose this public metadata, third-party crawlers can scrape the price hourly without needing authentication. If you want to avoid inbox spam and still get instant alerts, I usually recommend using this Jomashop price tracker because it bypasses the need for an account by checking the page's structural data directly and sending a webhook or browser notification when it hits your target. Another technical workaround is setting up a visual monitor like Distill.io on the specific price selector element. But honestly, Jomashop changes their page layout occasionally to block basic scrapers, which breaks simple visual monitors. A dedicated tool that targets their backend API endpoints is way more reliable for catching those blink-and-you-miss-it flash sales, especially when you're trying to snipe a PRX before it sells out.
