# DELETE /v1/products/watches/{id} — delete a watch

> Permanently delete a product watch by its ID. The watch stops checking immediately and you will no longer receive notifications for it.

The `DELETE /v1/products/watches/{watch_id}` endpoint permanently removes a product watch. Once deleted, the watch stops checking immediately and no further notifications are sent. This action cannot be undone — to stop monitoring temporarily, update the watch status to `"paused"` instead.

## Endpoint

```
DELETE /v1/products/watches/{watch_id}
```

## Path parameters

<ParamField path="watch_id" type="string" required>
  The unique identifier of the watch to delete.
</ParamField>

## Headers

<ParamField header="Authorization" type="string" required>
  Bearer token for authentication. Format: `Bearer {your_api_key}`.
</ParamField>

## Example request

```bash theme={null}
curl --request DELETE \
  --url 'https://api.affiliate.com/v1/products/watches/a0b49c91-2eef-4aa1-9b30-4816147680f0' \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer {your_api_key}'
```

## Response

A successful deletion returns `200 OK` with confirmation of the deleted watch ID.
