Possible use for advertising
editThis article may have been created as part of an advertising campaign by https://www.the1505watch.com ; which states
The world`s first watch 1505 will be introduced in 2019. For historical insight and facts review wikipedia page for more information.
Also, article creator LBEAS looks like a single purpose account whose contributions are centred around that supposed world’s first watch (apparently, this is disputed), which may be another sign of possible undeclared paid editing. Akela NDE (talk) 13:35, 20 February 2019 (UTC)

Watch 1505 edits
editI have removed the worst factually wrong statements in the 'watch 1505' entry. It is still not very good as it is a totally unfocussed article that is mainly written to promote this one watch. I have also re-inserted the fact that the watch in question is considered 'very unlikely to be authentic' by serious experts. The 'Roman numbers' 1505 are considered as mere scratches — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:810D:81BF:F278:6583:4D4C:4383:30D0 (talk) 17:03, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

Disputed tag
editThis version stated that the watch is "most likely not authentic". This was reverted to an earlier version that states that it "is the world's first watch" and that it "was crafted by [...] Peter Henlein". This does not correspond to the sources. For instance, quotes from [1]: "Made by someone called Peter Henlein? Probably speculation. Made in 1505. The same." Orlodrim (talk) 10:50, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
