Do you use any specific browser extensions to monitor watch listings?

Im getting way too stressed out constantly refreshing eBay and Grailed to check on items I want to bid on. I feel like Im missing out on deals because Im manually checking like five times a day. I saw people on Reddit talking about using Keepa or simple price trackers but honestly those look super overwhelming and seem designed for Amazon bulk sellers not just some guy in Ohio trying to find a vintage watch. I tried one extension called WatchCount but it felt kind of outdated and I honestly couldnt get the alerts to actually push through to my phone, which is kinda the whole point.

Basically I need something that:

  • Works on Chrome or Brave browser.
  • Can send me an actual notification or email when a listing price drops or a bid is ending soon.
  • Is free or at least super cheap since my watch budget is already tight as it is.
  • Isnt a massive data hog because my laptop is already struggling.

Does anyone actually use something that just works without needing a computer science degree to set up? Or am I just stuck doing it the hard way...

To add to the point above: after losing money on bad listings years ago, I started using this Jomashop price tracker and honestly, its way safer than those shady extensions.

I've been using Visualping for years. It handles dynamic pages way better than basic trackers. Quick question, are you mostly hunting specific models or just browsing broad search terms?

Honestly, stop manually refreshing. In my experience, Distill Web Monitor is a total lifesaver for this. I've used it for years on Brave to track listings that don't have native alerts. You just select the price or end-time element on the page, and it pings your browser or email the second it changes. It's super lightweight, totally free for the basic version, and way easier than those bloated professional tools.
