User Reviews for Watch Tracker

Very useful tool

I have been using WatchTracker for a few months now, and find it to be a valuable tool for tracking the accuracy of both mechanical and quartz watches. Particularly in the case of mechanical watches, being able to spot and document a change in accuracy can be helpful in spotting and perhaps even diagnosing problems. I have recorded accuracy data for multiple watches, sometimes with very surprising results. This app has helped to identify some really surprisingly accurate watches as well as to demonstrate a need for service for other watches.This type of app, which merely records user-input data points, does not carry the same risk of magnetizing a watch that a timegrapher app would carry. I highly recommend this app for anyone who wears or collects mechanical watches.

A must have for wristwatch appreciating folks

Watch Tracker is a great little app. I own multiple mechanical watches and Watch Tracker is a great app for discerning the timing rate of each of my watches. No crashes, works well, and is easy to use. The graphs are easy to read, and the variance calculation and rate calculation are great features. My only suggestion is to add a little color, perhaps bring the Description field up a level such that it is in the watch’s main screen, and maybe an archiving feature for the watches I don’t own/track anymore. These are piddly app addition suggestions because the Watch Tracker’s main functions are flawless.Update: love the comments section and default comment drop down menu. Can you add to the menu "face up Overnight".

Good, usable app

It takes a few days to figure out the best way to use the app. My suggestion is to do one timing point and then don't do another for AT LEAST a whole day, preferably longer. Otherwise, you get skewed results given that if one makes a timing point too soon after the previous point, and if one's response time is off by a fraction of a second, the app will extrapolate that into a large gain or loss. Whereas, if one waits a day or more the timing points will give a pretty accurate sense of your watches accuracy.

Great app for measuring watch accuracy

I recently acquired a couple nice automatic watches and became interested in tracking their accuracy. I had downloaded another app before this one (which was free) but it did not work well for me, so I thought I would give this one a try. I usually don’t spend money on apps but this one was worth the price. I am very pleased with this app. I love how you can take measurements anytime you feel like it and then see exactly how much time your watches have gained or lost. If you are at all interested in mechanical watches and keeping accurate time, I recommend this app. It is well designed and easy to use. Will definitely stay on my iPhone and get used often.

Solid App

Well-designed, just like my watch :)This app omits questionable features such as ‘magnetism detection’ or calculations made from audio recordings of your watch.Instead, I would call this app a (very user-friendly) specialized calculator. The time source it synchronizes with is quite good.Although a spreadsheet is capable of doing the same math, this app is worth the money (in my opinion) because of a specific feature: a button that will instantly record atomic time when pressed. Pressing this button also simultaneously records a predetermined hh:mm:ss. The user plugs in some time in the near future and presses the button when their watch reaches that time. Therefore, each data point contains two pieces of information from that instant: standard time and your watch’s time. This operation would be difficult to perform without a specialized program. Another method might be to use a high-speed camera that takes a picture of the watch next to some time standard. However, processing this data would require more time as the watch reading would need to be interpreted from a picture. I like this app because you can press a button and then bam, it’s done and it’s even calculated averages including all your previous data points :) very well done app

Best approach to measuring accuracy

WatchTracker’s approach to measuring a movement’s in-case/on-wrist accuracy over time is the best. I’ve tried all the other apps for logging time, using the microphone, and purchased a timegrapher. The simplicity and ability to measure real world accuracy on-wrist puts this app above all. Regulating rates based on a timegrapher has helped get decent on-wrist accuracy within a few sec/day, but I’ve used this app to adjust the rates further (away from the timegrapher’s zero sec/day) to achieve excellent on-wrist rates that average less than 0.5 sec/day. Tapping the time within the app to collect data points is good to within 0.2 seconds. Only other approach might be to snap a picture of the watch face and use an accurate time stamp from the picture. Tapping works fine for me.

The best one yet!

I’ve tried all the Watch accuracy apps on the App Store and this one is the best. It’s super easy to use and actually lets you access the data easily. Both of the other apps are super easy as well but it doesn’t let you see ANY of the data you’ve collected and the only way to reset is to make a new watch entry. The other app is easy as well, has a graph to show your data points, but makes it very difficult to edit them or reset your time. This app allows all of those features! I wish I had started with this app instead of wasting money on the others.

Very erratic results

Edit June 13, 2020I ended up to I sticking with this app and I’m glad I did. I think the problems I had earlier somehow had to do with what happens when the minute hand moves past the minute marker but the seconds are not there yet. Hard to explain. Now I let the app decide the minute and make the measurement but the second hand and that works. It has a lot of nice features that the others I’ve used done, like the comments. Original review: I’ve been trying out this for a month or so and either all of my watches are extremely erratic, or this app doesn’t work. I do a timing on a watch for days or even longer, and get a nearly straight line for that run. Then I do another timing run, and I get a zig zag line, flunctuating by double or triple the amount of the first. Sometimes, it’s vice versa. So after more than a month, I have no clue as to how my watches are running. I recently heard in a watch channel, about another app, so it’s time to delete this one and give the other one a try.

Simple and easy to use.

WatchTracker does what it is meant to do very well: it allows you to simply and easily measure, monitor, and track the accuracy of your watch(es). Entering data is easy and intuitive, and the data is recorded in format that allows you to quickly note changes in the accuracy of your fine watches, changes that could indicate the need for service. Sometimes, the simplest apps become the most useful. Sure, the develops could add more robust features: the ability to record important data (acquisition and insurance info, dates if service, etc.) on the watch collection would be nice, as would magnetism detection and other features. But often simplicity is a virtue. This app is simple enough that I use it daily.

So far so good

So far am really liking the app over what I was using, I have a Timegrapher to check various positions of my watches so I can regulate for best accuracy but this app gives you a good bit of info on accuracy while wearing and resting positionsThere is a small amount of human error involved as you have to tap the screen at a certain point in time and you could be off by a guess of +/- .5 secs as I don’t believe it’s possible for you to tap at that exact moment in time but none the less it gives you some very good useful info and some of the key features are you can track over a long period of time.The app developer is very helpful in answering questions and taking suggestions which is great, there are a few changes I would like to see but if they never came I would still use the great little app

Description

Watch Tracker is a revolutionary app for tracking the accuracy of a wristwatch. It's dramatically easier and more accurate than any previous method. Just tap a button when the time on your watch matches the time displayed by the app, and Watch Tracker does the rest.

It synchronizes with an atomic clock, measures and records the difference, and displays graphs of all the data points you've recorded. - Uses best-fit analysis to accurately calculate how many seconds your watch gains or loses per day - Displays graphs of rates and variance - Can track multiple watches simultaneously - Saves data in CSV files that can be opened with any spreadsheet software Watch Tracker is made by the developer of tChess (the chess app that was featured in Apple's "Learn" commercial for the iPad) and Learn Chess (the Apple Staff Favorite e-book).
