January 2020 HUISABH! Thread Stats

Post by MoT »

So begins another year of stats collecting, and I couldn't be happier to be doing it for the best bunch of deal hunters around.

The month started off slow, but the pace quickly picked up. Not even a questionably built winder could spin it out of balance. [mention]TheJohnP[/mention] once again reigns supreme with a class-leading 132 deals out of 411. The total number posted was down over December, but I expected it. The post-holiday malaise has a huge part to do with it, I think.

Seiko once again takes the top spot for brands with 31, but Alpina was nipping at the heels with 30. A very strong showing for the brand. I'm sure a lot of you will be thrilled to learn that Invicta did not take the "largest deal" spots this month. In fact, only 1 Invicta deal met the posting criteria!

We're off to a good start! Let's keep it going!


To the numbers! (Top 10 data in the next post.)

(As always, if there is a particular brand, site or other pieces of data you'd like, let me know and I can provide it.)

Let's remember a few things first:
  • I based these calculations on new and refurbished watches only.
  • I do not include watch accessories or used watches.
  • I only included deals with links.
  • The retail price used was either the retail price listed on the selling website or found on the manufacturer's site.
  • Currency, if not in USD was converted to USD using Google's currency exchange calculator on as closr to the date the deal was posted as possible.
  • "Largest" and "Smallest" deal is based solely on the percentage savings from listed retail. I do not make subjective determinations on the brands perceived value. That is up to you, the reader.

Yes. I decided I didn't already spend enough time compiling things so I thought I'd make graphs and include them to spruce things up a bit. :lol:
