Standards
The route every article on shibiaowang.online takes from idea to publication, and what we refuse to publish.
Anyone can claim to be careful. This page sets out what careful means at Shibiao Watches in enough detail that you can check whether we keep to it.
We treat dates as facts, not decoration. Refreshing a page to look current without changing its substance is a small lie we would rather not tell, so we do not touch the date unless the content genuinely moved.
Part of what keeps the lights on is commercial links. The verdict on a page is written first and does not bend to whether a link earns anything.
A request to pull a criticism gets a flat no and a place in our records. Sometimes that request is more revealing than the thing complained about, and it says so in a later piece.
Nothing is published anonymously. A name on a page means somebody can be asked about it later, and that is the only accountability a small site has.
Bennett Shaw, Buying and style writer. Bennett writes about choosing and wearing watches for people new to them, focused on value and good sense over hype.
Cosima Vance, Movements and mechanics writer. Cosima explains how watches work and what separates the movement types, making the mechanics approachable.
Idris Bello, Care and collecting writer. Idris covers watch care and what genuinely gives a timepiece lasting value, cutting through collector myths.
What gets written is decided by demand, not by a schedule. A question that keeps arriving, from readers or from our own work, becomes a page. A clever keyword with no real question behind it does not.
Corrections go to [email protected]. Include the address and the sentence. Anything factual is fixed without argument. Anything that changes what the article recommends gets a dated note underneath, so the change is visible.
