Editorial Independence

 

Editorial Independence

Ray Watches is an independent watch publication.

All editorial content published on this site is created without influence from watch brands, retailers, distributors, or advertisers. Editorial decisions — including what is covered, how it is covered, and what is not covered — are made solely on editorial judgement.

The site is funded through clearly identified advertising, paid product placements, and sponsored communications. Advertising partners have no role in editorial planning, selection, or opinion, and payment does not guarantee coverage, favorable commentary, or recommendation.

Where content is paid for, it is clearly labelled as advertising or paid placement. Editorial features such as Editor’s Choice and opinion pieces are never sold and are chosen independently.

Ray Watches does not operate as a retailer and does not sell watches. The publication exists to inform, document, and comment on watch culture — particularly Australian brands and independent makers — without retail pressure or commercial obligation.
