The Titanium Field Guide

The Titanium Price Tracker

TFG-RR-2026-04 · Live tracker

The guide re-reads listed prices against maker pages on a rotation that runs twice a month, and every change it verifies lands in an append-only observation log. This page is that log, analyzed: what titanium watch prices actually did, measured reference by reference rather than asserted. It updates with every sweep and is read as a monthly index.

Of the 12 qualified changes observed so far, 10 were increases (median +4.1%) and 2 were cuts (median -5.5%). The direction is lopsided: when a titanium watch's listed price moves, it moves up about 83 times in 100.

Monthly readingSeptember 2026: 1 qualified changes, 100% increases, median move +0.6%. This is the latest fully observed month; October 2026 is still filling and settles once the next month begins.

Accent bars are increases, grey bars are cuts, per calendar month of observation.

Each month's reading covers the qualified changes observed in that month. The most recent month stays marked in progress until the next one begins, because a partial month is not a reading yet.

Which brands moved

Brands that repriced 3 or more titanium references in the tracked window, most active first. This is the maker view of the same qualified changes, so a brand appears here for repricing across a line rather than for one headline move.

A move is what the maker's listed price did between two reads; the tracker reports it without attributing cause. A maker repricing in response to a currency move still counts, because that is the maker changing what it charges. A store converting its own currency to dollars at a live rate does not.

Methodology. The log holds 2,441 observations across 1,962 references, 20 Jun 2026 to 15 Oct 2026. A change qualifies for the figures above only when both the old and new values are real listed prices (a filled-in gap is not a market move), both were readings of the maker's own price, and it was observed at least 14 days after the reference first entered the log, because early re-reads routinely correct capture errors rather than record repricings. The second condition was added on 26 Sep 2026, and it restated every figure on this page. A price that was approximate, converted from another currency, cited only to the maker's home page, or read from a store that converts to dollars at a live rate is still logged, but a change starting or ending on one measures the guide improving its own record rather than the maker moving its price, so it is not counted. On 27 Sep 2026 the same test was extended to a price quoted as a range across colourways, a sale or pre-order price, and a figure read from a retailer rather than the maker, which restated the page a second time. Raw counts, so nothing hides: 217 raw changes, 12 qualified, 15 excluded as immature, 152 excluded because one end was not a maker reading (77 approximate, 23 converted by the store, 20 at a sale or pre-order price, 12 cited only to the maker's home page, 9 quoted in another currency, 7 quoted as a range across variants, 3 converted by the guide, 1 read from a retailer), 38 excluded as catalog corrections rather than repricings (each one recorded with its reason). Every figure on this page recomputes at build time from the committed log, and the build fails if a price changes without its observation being appended.
