Best watch movement tracker around!

Tried several apps over the years, but this the simplest and easiest to use. Love not having to sign up for an email account to use.

Practical watch setting tool

This is a simple effective clock for setting watches. I particularly appreciate the tactile bump/rumble at each second, which helps makes accurate setting easy without relying on audible noises.

There is also a watch accuracy tracking function, which is probably sufficient for identifying when a watch needs servicing. It relies on manually inputs so isn’t a very precise way of tracking the actual deviation of a watch, but good enough to track watch performance.

Finally, it’s neat to have a simple analog clock set to internet-atomic time.

Great at first - not great over time

This app seems amazing at first and it does the job really really well. However over time the problems start to emerge. They are relatively easy to fix as they are mostly UI problems.

Problem 1) If you have lots of watches then it is tricky to see the accuracy score for all of the watches in one list without lots of scrolling. It is not possible to reorder the watches either.

Problem 2) This is the biggest issue. I have been tracking one watch now for about six months. The scale of the time measurement points compresses over time so my 6 months of twice a week time checks have now compressed so much that the accuracy scores are all written over the top of each other and are unreadable - this is the historic scores as well as the most up to date. I could delete the old ones but it is good to see trends.

This app is so nearly perfect but these two problems (particularly #2) really mar the usability.

Fantastic App

This is a very intuitive and nicely designed app. It has been built with a lot of thought and does exactly what it says on the tin. It tracks your watch accuracy. If there could be one possible improvement, it would be for Grand Seiko owners - who I’m sure would appreciate an extra decimal place - just to make it interesting below +/- 0.01 secs per day.

Perfect!

This is the app I’ve been looking for. Simple, straightforward, looks great, works well. Set your watches according to the atomic clock in one screen, measure their accuracy over time in the other. Leaving a review as this should be higher up in the App Store. Thank you!

Use it all the time

I use this app daily to sync my watch. Only suggestion that I have for improvement would be to either remove the “3” from the clock face or provide a wider separation between the date and the “3” so that the numbers do not “merge” together when reading the time. Fantastic app. Thanks!

Good - faster adjustment needed

Great App, great design and accomplishes the purpose. When trying to monitor old watches can take a long time to adjust the time to match your not greatly adjusted watch. A faster adjustment setting needs to be created (a button for 5seconds forward and backwards and a minute forward and backwards for example).

Well worth the purchase

The large clock face with sweeping hand makes setting and tracking your automatic watch a dream. Would recommend to anyone who like to keep precise time on their watch and likes to track. Like one review said, “a bit of a risk on the purchase but well worth it.”

Best design, lots of opportunities

In the space of trackers for mechanical watches, this is the only app I’ve found that makes an attempt to be designed well.

The clock is great, the measurement screen is fantastic. The graph needs work. The per day deviations overlap each other and become unreadable. The AI recognizes resets and separates days, and then doesn’t the next moment. There’s no affordance to split days manually, making discovery of that feature hard. Not sure what happens if I continue tracking because the graph does not seem to be designed beyond a few days of space.

Overall, I enjoy using it and it has the potential to become the one and only watch tracking app out there, the reference point for all. I’d love to see it get there.

Excellent

Took a risk on this app as the free app I have been using hasn’t been updated for years, and it’s more and more glitchy. And I’m so glad I did. Lovely clean interface, easy to use, and if you make a mistake it has an undo. I can see this being a staple on my home screen for some time.
