Frequently asked questions
What is Silver Watcher?
Silver Watcher is the iPhone app for silver stackers, coin collectors, and precious-metals investors. It tracks the live silver spot price, top silver ETFs (SLV, SIVR, PSLV) and futures, the gold/silver ratio with buy/sell signals, prediction markets, a smarter sentiment badge, seasonal patterns, a purity calculator, and a purity-aware portfolio with realized profit tracking.
How is the silver spot price tracked?
Spot silver updates throughout the trading day with a live heartbeat indicator. Historical charts cover 1D, 1W, 1M, 3M, 1Y, 5Y, and ALL. Switch between line and dot chart styles, or rotate your iPhone for immersive fullscreen charts.
What does "purity-aware" portfolio tracking mean?
When you log a Sterling (.925), Britannia (.958), or Coin Silver (.900) piece, Silver Watcher values it correctly against fine silver instead of treating it like .999. Your bullion rounds and your sterling flatware can live in the same portfolio with both showing the right live value.
How does the realized profit work when I sell?
When you sell a position, record the sale price and date — Silver Watcher logs the realized gain and rolls it into a running cumulative profit across all of your closed positions. Gifts can be marked separately so they don't inflate the profit number.
What are Prediction Markets?
A live read of Polymarket bets on the macro forces that move silver — Fed rate cuts, inflation, recession risk, plus solar and EV demand — pulled into a section of the Charts tab.
What does the Smarter Sentiment badge do?
A Bullish / Bearish / Neutral indicator that blends short-term price momentum, the health of the 50-day trend, and the tone of recent news headlines into one signal.
How does the gold/silver ratio work?
The app tracks the gold-to-silver ratio in real time with a full 5-year historical chart. You see the current ratio against its low, average, and high — and built-in buy/sell signals tell you when silver is historically cheap or expensive relative to gold.
How does the purity calculator work?
Enter weight and pick the silver grade — from Fine Silver (.999) down to European (.800), including Sterling, Britannia, and Coin Silver — and Silver Watcher gives you the value at the current spot price.
What currencies are supported?
Twelve: CAD, USD, EUR, GBP, INR, AUD, JPY, CHF, CNY, HKD, SGD, and BRL. Pick one and the entire app switches.
What does Premium cost?
Free to download. The Portfolio, What-If, and Calculator tabs are unlocked with a Silver Watcher subscription at $2.99 per month or $12.99 per year. Both plans come with a 3-day free trial.
