Accessories Adviser is written by one person. There is no editorial team and no panel of experts, and we think you should know that before you read a recommendation.
What we actually do. We read what each brand publishes about a product on its own site, and what the seller publishes on its live Amazon listing. We hold those figures up against each other, record the date we read them, and compare products on the things both sides disclose — materials, dimensions, weight, movement and calibre on a watch, lens and frame specification on sunglasses, leather type and construction on a bag. When a listing contradicts the brand, we quote both. When a listing does not disclose something, we say it does not disclose it rather than filling the gap with an estimate.
What we do not do. We have not handled these products. We do not wear them, carry them or wind them, we run no durability trials, and we hold no measurements of our own. Nothing on this site is a first-hand review, and we say so on every page. If you want to know how a strap softens after a year, we are not the right source and we would rather tell you that than pretend otherwise.
Why trust any of it, then. Because the thing we are good at is narrow and checkable: reading the small print carefully, noticing when two published figures disagree, and not rounding a claim up. We also check whether a product is actually available to buy before we recommend it — more than once we have found a listing with no buying option behind a well-regarded product, and we now say so on the page with the date we checked. Every figure we print can be traced back to the brand or the listing it came from, and when we get something wrong we correct it on the page with the date of the correction rather than quietly editing it.
No prices. We do not publish prices. They move with promotions and any figure printed here would be wrong within days, so we describe where a product sits relative to the others and leave the number to the listing itself.
How this is paid for. No brand pays for inclusion, placement, or a favourable write-up, and we hold no relationship with any brand we cover. The site is reader-supported through affiliate links — see our affiliate disclosure.
