About Watch.fun
watch.fun is a luxury watch platform built on the Solana blockchain. Its official channels are the website watch.fun and the Twitter account watchdotfun. Users participate in weekly raffle drops by buying tickets starting at around $19 for a chance to win high-end watches such as Rolex Daytona and Patek Philippe Nautilus. The core selling point is "on-chain verifiable fairness": the raffle process is recorded on-chain and can be verified by users, while watches are authenticated and traced by Wristcheck to reduce counterfeit risk and channel opacity. It mainly addresses pain points in the traditional watch market: high purchasing barriers, opaque allocation/raffle processes, and difficulty verifying authenticity in the secondary market, allowing participants to experience luxury goods with a relatively small outlay. Over the past six months (March to September 2026), the platform continued weekly drops, showcased rare serial-number pieces (such as an uncut Aquanaut) via podcasts and other channels, and introduced tiered membership and referral reward mechanics around its user system. As of now, no major reliable negative information has been found.
In the past six months, on March 25, 2026, Watch.fun closed an $8.6 million funding round co-led by Crypto.com Capital and Solana Ventures, with participation from Spartan Capital, Big Brain Holdings, Griffin Gaming Partners, Animoca Brands, Morningstar Ventures, and OrangeDAO. The funds will accelerate product development, expand the curated watch catalog, deepen strategic partnerships, and grow the team. Built on Solana, the platform hosts weekly luxury watch draws with entry from $19, using provably fair on-chain mechanics, with Wristcheck handling sourcing and authentication.
Future focus and roadmap: Over the next 12–18 months, the company will advance engineering, compliance, business development, marketing, and hiring. Near-term plans include sustaining weekly drops and introducing referral incentives. Longer-term initiatives aim at higher drop frequency, VIP memberships, new engagement formats, and securing licenses for global prize fulfillment.
