If there is one thing you're waiting on, you don't need a monitor for the whole shop. Paste the product's link and StockWatch watches that one page.

Start a watch

  1. On the shop's website, open the product and copy the link from the address bar.
  2. In StockWatch, paste it into the box at the top of Monitors and press Watch it.
  3. StockWatch shows what it found: the name, the price and whether it is in stock. Check it is the right product.
  4. If the shop sells it in sizes, Which size? appears. Tap yours and you'll only hear about that size. Leave them all off to hear about any size.
  5. Press Start watching.

You'll hear when it comes back in stock and when its price drops. If you haven't set up any alerts yet, they go to the email address you signed up with until you change that in Settings.

Where your watches are

Watches have a list of their own and don't appear among your monitors. Open Products and switch on Watched, or press the Watched items row on the Monitors page.

A watch doesn't use up one of your plan's monitors. The number of products you can watch at once is 15 on Free, 150 on Standard and unlimited on Power User.

Changing a watch, or stopping it

Press History on a watched product to open it.

  • A price to wait for. Type an amount next to at or below and save it. You still hear about every restock, but only about a price drop that takes it to that price or less.
  • How often it is checked. Check every sets it, as fast as your plan allows.
  • Stopping. Press Stop watching. The bell on the product's card does the same.

Watching something a monitor already found

If one of your monitors covers a whole shop, you can still single out a product. On Products, press the bell on its card. A sold-out product has a Notify on restock button that does the same thing. A watched product gets through even when the monitor's keywords would have left it out.

If the link can't be read

Make sure the link goes to one product, and not to a category or a page of search results. If it still can't be read, the box offers other ways in:

  • Watch it from my browser hands the page to the Chrome extension, which reads it from your own computer. This one only shows in Chrome on a computer.
  • Pick what to watch on the page instead opens the page so you can tap the price or the button yourself.
  • Ask us to add sends us the shop. See Requesting a new site.

If a shop comes with a higher plan than yours, the box offers the upgrade, or watching the page from your own browser. Pokemon Center product pages can't be watched one by one, so for those it offers queue alerts.
