There was at least one site that did this I remember.

The only one that still works is http://www.bitcoinmonitor.net/. I don't see an option for watch-only at blockchain.info. – ike Nov 20 '14 at 22:13

Only blockchain.info is still up among these, and I could add a watch-only address but I never got the notification email for an incoming transaction on that address. – a3nm Oct 21 '15 at 00:17

https://txnotify.com works as of february 2020. It's very simple as well. You can get email notifications every time your bitcoin address receives money. Or when a transaction reaches a specified number of confirmations. disclaimer: I made it. – Bjørn Olav Jalborg Feb 02 '21 at 07:33
http://bitping.net will send you email notifications on any transactions to/from a bitcoin address.

As of October 2015, the only services that still seem to offer email notifications (for free) for transactions on an address (for which they don't need the private key) appear to be:
http://blockchain.info/wallet with the option to add a wallet as watch-only. It doesn't seem 100% reliable (it missed a few transactions initially), but now it seems to work and gives a notification pretty much instantly.
http://blockonomics.co with which I had a temporary problem with validating the confirmation email, but seems to work otherwise. Notification emails arrive a bit later (maybe they wait for the transaction to be confirmed or something like that?).

You can add that address to blockchain.info/wallet, as watch-only if you prefer, and enable email notifications.
(didn't try that myself with watch-only addresses, so this might fail)

I am trying this out:

It works for btc but also other currencies. It's free and online based, so no app to install.
