# Watched Items

A watched item is a product variant the authenticated customer is following.

The **automatic** attribute indicates the item was followed on the customer's behalf. Items are followed automatically when the customer places a bid.

Watch and unwatch calls take an **externalVariantId** representing the Shopify variant ID.

The list endpoint returns the customer's watched variants, most recently updated first, and excludes variants whose product is no longer available on the storefront. Filter with `filter[listingType]` to return only variants currently listed as an `auction` or only those listed as a regular `product`.

Include **variant.currentAuctionItem** to return the live auction item for each watched variant.
