Editorial Policy

Werkmania exists to make useful, independent and enjoyable watch journalism. Editorial decisions are made by Werkmania, not by brands, retailers, distributors or commercial partners.

Editorial independence

Access to a product, review sample, press event or manufacturer does not guarantee positive coverage. We aim to separate factual information from opinion and to explain both clearly.

Review samples and commercial relationships

Watches may be supplied temporarily for review or hands-on coverage. Where content is paid for, sponsored or produced as part of a material commercial relationship, it should be identified accordingly. Advertising does not buy editorial conclusions.

Sources and image credits

News and historical pieces should rely on identifiable sources wherever practical. Manufacturer-supplied photography and other third-party imagery should be credited when appropriate. Technical claims are checked against primary or otherwise reliable sources where possible.

Corrections

If a factual error is found, Werkmania aims to correct it. Significant corrections should preserve the substance of the original story while making the updated information clear.

Opinion

Watch journalism is not only a list of specifications. Reviews and commentary may contain personal judgement about design, value, wearability, engineering and context. Those judgements remain the responsibility of Werkmania.
