- Reference Match
Inspected region by region.
Bezel, datewheel, case, crown, dial typography — each region is scored against reference patterns and pinned right onto the photo.
Built for real watches.
Steel, ceramic, lume, brushed and polished finishing — read the way a collector actually holds a watch.
The right watch, at the right price.
WatchRadar pairs the result with an estimated market value range, so even the right watch at the wrong asking price gets flagged.

Built for collectors
Thoughtful details, all the way down.
Five-angle precision scan.
The Live Loupe walks you through the dial, bezel, crown, case and finishing — five guided angles, one tap each.
Reference candidates.
Every result names the closest matching references with a confidence level: a Casio G-Shock GA-2100, not just “a watch.”
Provenance vault.
Receipts, box photos, warranty cards, service log — kept alongside the watch, ready to attach to a report or hand to a buyer.
Native iPhone capture.
Built in SwiftUI. Framing, sharpness and glare checks run live on the iPhone as you shoot; the photos are then analysed on WatchRadar’s servers and the result comes back to your phone.
Philosophy
A counterfeit doesn’t fail because it’s clever — it fails because the details add up wrong. The AI surfaces the details.
What WatchRadar is — and isn’t
WatchRadar identifies watches, reads visual risk signals and gives you a confidence-based verdict. It is not a legal certificate of authenticity, it cannot see inside the case, and it does not replace an inspection by a qualified watchmaker for high-value purchases.
Questions
Asked before the first scan.
What is WatchRadar?
WatchRadar is an AI watch identifier for iPhone. From a few guided photos it suggests the likely brand, model and reference with a confidence level, points out visual details that support or contradict that identity, estimates a secondary-market value range and keeps the watch in a private collection box.
How do I identify a watch from a photo?
Open WatchRadar and follow the guided capture: at least three angles, and five for stronger evidence (dial, bezel, crown side, caseback and clasp). The app checks framing, sharpness and glare as you shoot, reads the visible dial and caseback text, then returns the closest matching references with a confidence level.
Can WatchRadar tell if a watch is fake?
It flags risk; it does not authenticate. The result is Likely authentic, Uncertain or High risk, with the reasons and a recommended next step, and it says Uncertain when the photos do not show enough. WatchRadar cannot see inside the case, so for a high-value purchase have the movement checked by a qualified watchmaker or the brand.
How accurate is the value estimate?
It is a range drawn from secondary-market prices for the identified reference, shown next to the asking price you enter so an overpriced listing stands out. Condition, box and papers, service history and shifting demand all change what one particular watch sells for, so treat the range as context, not as an appraisal.
What is the WatchRadar Analysis Report?
A shareable record of one analysis: a unique WRC ID, a QR code that opens the public verification page on this site, and a PDF. A buyer can check what WatchRadar saw and concluded. It documents the analysis; it is not a legal certificate of authenticity and does not replace the brand's papers.
Is WatchRadar free?
WatchRadar is free to download and your first full analysis is free. WatchRadar Pro, an in-app subscription, unlocks up to 40 analyses a week. The price is shown in the App Store before you subscribe, and the subscription can be cancelled at any time from your Apple account settings.
Which devices does WatchRadar run on?
WatchRadar runs on iPhone with iOS 26 or later. There is no Android or web version at the moment. On an iPhone, Safari shows an App Store banner at the top of this site, so you can install or open the app in one tap.
What happens to my photos?
Framing and sharpness guidance runs on your iPhone, but the analysis itself runs on WatchRadar's servers, so the photos you submit are uploaded to be analysed. Nothing from a scan is made public unless you create a shareable Analysis Report. The privacy policy explains how your data is handled.
