Using this value
Either form of this value goes in the google_product_category attribute: the numeric ID (6870) or the full path ("Apparel & Accessories > Jewelry > Watch Accessories > Watch Winders"). Both are predefined values for the same category. The ID is the sturdier of the two, because renaming any segment above this one changes the path text and leaves the number alone.
Bear in mind that google_product_category is an optional attribute. Google assigns a category automatically, and your value is treated as a signal rather than an override. When an override actually applies.

Either row below is accepted. The first is the one to send.
| id | title | google_product_category |
|---|---|---|
| SKU-1001 | Your product title | 6870 |
| SKU-1001 | Your product title | Apparel & Accessories > Jewelry > Watch Accessories > Watch Winders |
This path has no comma, so an unquoted cell holds it as it stands — which is not true of every category in the taxonomy. The numeric ID, 6870, is the form that does not depend on how the file is quoted.

These sit under the same parent and start with the same word, which is exactly when the wrong one gets picked.
Questions about Watch Winders
What is the Google product category ID for Watch Winders?
6870. The full path, "Apparel & Accessories > Jewelry > Watch Accessories > Watch Winders", is the same category written the other way. The ID is shorter, and renaming a segment above this one changes the path text while leaving the number alone.
Is anything more specific than Watch Winders available?

Where does Watch Winders sit in the taxonomy?
At level 4, under Watch Accessories (5122). The chain from the top is Apparel & Accessories → Jewelry → Watch Accessories → Watch Winders. If your product does not belong under Watch Accessories, it does not belong here either — check the level above before going deeper.
What should I use if Watch Winders is not quite right?
Look across the rest of Watch Accessories first — there are 2 other categories at this level: Watch Bands (5123), Watch Stickers & Decals (7471). If none of them fits either, the problem is higher up: go back to Watch Accessories (5122) and pick a different branch from there rather than settling for the closest thing on this one.
How big is Watch Winders compared with the categories next to it?
It is second largest of the 3 at its level, carrying 0 categories below it. A bigger category is not a better one — it just means more of the taxonomy is still open below you after you pick it.
