Amazon Watcher

Amazon Watcher is a handy application to monitor availability and changes of items at the six Amazon stores. Users can feed Amazon Watcher with full urls to Amazon items, their ASIN or ISBN-10. The product will then be loaded into the application with a preview image if available and the user can configure Amazon Watcher to react if the item is in stock or if the price of it falls below a selected level.

A reaction can also be configured with the option to load the webpage of the product in the default browser, to send an email to the user or to automatically order x units of the item for the user.

The latter is only possible if the user adds his account information in the application’s preferences. One interesting feature is support for all six Amazon stores which can be monitored independently of each other making use of their own item databases.

The software lacks some of the features of the previously reviewed Amazon Price Watcher like price statistics over a period of time but makes it up with the ability to automatically place an order for a unit at the Amazon website.

Amazon Watcher is available for computers running Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows 2003, Windows XP, Windows Vista and Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later.

   This now requires payment of $25 per month.

   They added this option without warning, when I upgraded and locked me out.

   Would not trust this company at all now.

   Looks good, but if it is a web service, it should be cool! I don’t want to run a software everyday to check the price, I just want to get a email says my target product’s price met my desired level.
