How our pricing works

Gold Watch displays market-reference pricing using a mid price methodology. In simple terms, we take the market bid and ask and calculate:

Mid Price = (Bid + Ask) / 2
This is intended to provide a neutral market reference point rather than a dealer retail selling price.
Base pricing
Base reference pricing is handled in USD and then converted for supported display currencies and units.
Time standard
Charts and timestamps are aligned to America/New_York time.
24-hour movement
Price change is based on the closest available data point from roughly 24 hours earlier.
Display conversions
Users can view prices by troy ounce, gram, or kilogram in supported currencies.

Data sources and transparency

Gold Watch is committed to being transparent about how price information is displayed. The site uses external market data providers together with internal calculation, conversion, and charting logic to present precious metals reference prices.

Precious metals pricing source
Live precious metals market data is sourced from multiple external providers (including GoldAPI and Metals-API). Gold Watch uses these data sources together with internal calculations to generate displayed reference prices.
Currency conversion source
Currency exchange-rate data is sourced from fixer.io. Gold Watch uses this data to convert base USD pricing into supported display currencies.
Refresh frequency
Prices and exchange-rate conversions are refreshed regularly throughout the day, typically every 1 minute.
Purpose of the data
Gold Watch provides market-reference information for tracking, charting, and research purposes.
Retail dealer prices
Dealer buy/sell prices may differ because they can include premiums, spreads, inventory costs, and other markups.

Why prices may differ from other websites or dealers

Metals prices can differ across websites because not every publisher uses the same data feed, refresh interval, pricing methodology, spread assumptions, or time alignment. Some sites display spot-style pricing, some display mid pricing, and dealers often show retail prices that include premiums or other commercial markups.

Gold Watch approach

We prioritize reference-style pricing with a consistent mid-price method and New York time-based chart presentation.

Dealer pricing

Physical bullion dealer prices usually include fabrication premiums, inventory costs, shipping, and business margins.
