March 2022 Stats: Slip Slidin' Away Edition



Another month of dismal numbers. Is there any end in sight? I hope so! The single bright spot would be the discount percentage which saw a nearly 4 point increase month-to-month and is up over 7 points in the last two months.

On to the numbers!

(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/open box 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 as close 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 brand's perceived value. That is up to you, the reader.

I guess April must have been so bad it wasn’t even worth calculating

I've been a cotton-headed ninny muggins and totally forgot.

I'll be doing a two-fer on June 1, April and May.
