Default for watchlist

[+KDubs]

Ok a friend of mine and I are debating this. When you first create a cache, you automatically watch it but are you listed as 1 person watching this cache or is that someone else? Every time I post a cache it defaults to 1 user watching, which I assume is me.

 

However, we have found a few caches (Link) where there isnt a watch list.

 

Can someone help us to clarify what happens

 

Thanks

You as the owner won't be added as a watcher.

 

I tend to immediately watch/bookmark newly placed caches placed in my area to see who's FTF and other logs of interest. I suspect this is what is happening in your area.

3 of my 5 caches don't show any watchers. I think BlueDeuce has it right.

Our Reviewer in VA watches the cache after it is published until someone finds it. Just to make sure things are legit with the cache. That may be whats happening.

This was my first thought, I'll bet more than a few reviewers will do this.

Probably so. Maybe one day they can afford to upgrade to a premium account. They could have their own Bookmark for just those caches.
