Collection tracker

Track your watch collection like you mean it

A Watch Box backed by a 13,711-watch spec database — not a spreadsheet you maintain by hand. Add what you own, keep per-watch notes, log what you actually wear, and share the collection publicly or keep it private. Free on the web and on iPhone.

The lug²lug Watch Box — most-worn watches by cost-per-wear, with a gap suggestion
What the tracker does

Watch Box

Web and app

Your collection as a visual box, not a grid of cells. Every watch you add is a real catalog entry with its full spec sheet attached — case size, lug-to-lug, movement, water resistance — plus your own per-watch notes: where you bought it, what you paid, which strap it lives on.

Wear logging & streaks

App only

One tap logs what's on your wrist today. The app keeps a wear streak, a per-watch wear count, and a wear calendar you can backfill retroactively — so you finally get an honest answer to “do I actually wear this one?” before you buy the next.

Wear calendar & stats

App only

A month-by-month calendar of what you wore when, and per-watch stats built from your logs. The watches you reach for and the ones gathering dust become obvious — which is the whole point of tracking.

Public or private collections

Web and app

Group watches into collections — the box, the grails, the exit list — and set each one public or private. Public collections get a shareable page other collectors can browse, upvote, and comment on.

Wishlist & favorites

Web and app

Favorite anything in the catalog to build a wishlist alongside the box you own. Gap recommendations read both, so “what's missing from my collection” suggestions account for what you already want.

Wristshot photos

Web and app

Attach wrist photos to the watches you own and post them to the community wrist-check feed. Your box becomes a photo record of the collection, not just a list of reference numbers.

Spreadsheet vs lug²lug

Plenty of collectors run their box in a spreadsheet, and for some things a spreadsheet is genuinely better — we marked those rows. What it can't do is know anything about the watches: specs, market data, and wear tracking all stay manual forever.

Adding a watch
Spreadsheet:Type every field by hand: brand, reference, size, movement, price.
lug²lug:Search 13,711 watches and tap. The full spec sheet comes attached — nothing to type.
Specs
Spreadsheet:Only as complete as your patience. Lug-to-lug rarely makes the sheet.
lug²lug:Case, thickness, movement, WR on every entry — lug-to-lug measured on 4,930 models.
What it's worth
Spreadsheet:A price column that goes stale the day you type it.
lug²lug:Value-retention and market-trend data tracked in the catalog, on the same page as your watch.
Wear tracking
Spreadsheet:A tally column you'll update for about a week.
lug²lug:One-tap logging with streaks, a wear calendar, and per-watch stats in the iOS app.
Photos
Spreadsheet:Cells were never meant to hold wristshots.
lug²lug:Wrist photos attach to each watch and can post to the community feed.
Sharing
Spreadsheet:Email an .xlsx and hope they have Excel.
lug²lug:A public collection page with a link. Private stays private.
Custom columnsSpreadsheet wins
Spreadsheet:Total freedom — any column, any formula. This is where spreadsheets win.
lug²lug:Structure is fixed; free-text notes per watch cover the rest.
Offline & exportSpreadsheet wins
Spreadsheet:A file you own, works with no connection. Also a spreadsheet win.
lug²lug:Account-based and online. No CSV export today — we're honest about that.
Cost
Spreadsheet:Free-ish, if you already pay for Office or use Sheets.
lug²lug:Free to track your collection, and no ads. A paid market-data add-on is planned separately.
How it works
01

Sign in — it's free

Create an account on the web or grab the iPhone app. Tracking your collection is free and stays that way; the tracker is the product, not the upsell.

02

Build your box

Search the 13,711-watch catalog and tap to add what you own. Every entry arrives with its full spec sheet. Something too obscure for the catalog? You can add it yourself and it joins your box like any other watch.

03

Log wear, share the box

Tag what's on your wrist each day in the app — the streak, calendar and stats build themselves. Flip a collection to public when you want a shareable page other collectors can browse and comment on.

The iPhone app

Wear logging works best in your pocket

The iPhone app is where daily logging happens: tap the watch on your wrist, keep the streak alive, and backfill days you missed on the wear calendar. Your box, notes, and collections sync with the web — one account, both surfaces. More on the app page.

Collection tracker FAQ

Is the watch collection tracker free?

Yes. The web tracker is free with a free account, the iOS app is free to download, and there are no ads on your collection pages. Tracking, wear logging, and collections stay free. The one thing we plan to charge for later is a deeper secondary-market layer (live listings, longer price history, and price alerts), which sits alongside the tracker rather than inside it.

Do I have to type in all my watches' specs?

No. You search a catalog of 13,711 watches across 578 brands and tap to add — the full spec sheet (case diameter, thickness, movement, water resistance, and lug-to-lug on 4,930 models) comes attached to every entry. If a watch is too obscure for the catalog, you can add it manually.

Can I log which watch I wear each day?

Yes, in the iOS app: one tap logs the watch on your wrist, and the app tracks your wear streak, a month-by-month wear calendar (with retroactive backfill for days you missed), and per-watch wear stats. On the web you manage the box, collections, notes, and favorites; daily wear logging is app-only today.

Is my collection public?

You decide per collection. Public collections get a shareable page that other collectors can browse, upvote, and comment on; private collections are visible only to you. You can flip any collection between public and private at any time.

Can I import my existing spreadsheet?

Not automatically — there's no CSV import today. Adding is search-and-tap, so a 20-watch box typically takes a few minutes to rebuild, and every watch you add comes with specs and market data your spreadsheet never had.
