I thought that watch-only wallets are actually mirrors of your existing wallets that you already have the private keys off. Huh

Is it not a way to keep track of your transactions without actually logging in to your actual wallet where you are keeping your bitcoins?
Someone fill me in please.

Yep. That's exactly what he did. He simply imported an adress, resulting in him only being able to see balance/transactions.

@OP if someone "sold" you that adress, you got scammed.

I made an account quickly and pressed imported wallet instead of standard wallet and I received 1 Bit. It never asked me to make a seed or password. And it says its watching only and I have no seed or key, but I have about 6 grand in this account. Is there a way where I can get the money to a standard wallet account or did I lose 6 grand because I pressed the wrong Wallet type.

It's not your money. You have no seed or key. (Just an adress?) Which everyone can have. So you didn't really "lose" anything, as it wasn't yours in the first place.

Unless ofcourse, as i stated above, you "bought" that adress from someone.

Is either the OP bought the address from someone or somebody is trying to scam the OP since he's novice and they know once the balance show up in his wallet he will believe that btc are definitely send to his account.
Said this cause the OP actually opened ti thread for the situation and this was what he said on other thread.
