.watches

.watches is a generic top-level domain focused on watches, watchmaking and the businesses and communities around timepieces. The plural form is especially natural for retailers, collections and marketplaces.

The extension can suit watch dealers, manufacturers, collectors, repair services, review sites, auction businesses and specialist publications. A brand, style or material before .watches can create a highly descriptive address for a watch-focused project.

The current ICANN Registry Agreement is Base / Non-Sponsored, so ordinary registration is not limited to authorized dealers, watchmakers or members of an industry association.

That openness makes independent verification important. A .watches domain does not prove that products are authentic, that a seller is authorized by a manufacturer, or that a watch has a particular provenance or value. High-value purchases should be supported by appropriate documentation.

VYR classifies .watches as open, subject to registry and ICANN policies, premium or reserved names and third-party rights.
