App Does Not Know What a Watch Sounds Like

I cannot recommend ChronoLog.

My biggest complaint is with one of the app’s headline features: using your phone’s microphone to analyze the sound of a mechanical watch.

Apparently, the algorithm does not have a firm grasp on what a watch actually sounds like.

As a test, I repeatedly said the word “click” into my phone’s microphone, gradually speeding up as the session went on. ChronoLog dutifully analyzed my performance and eventually reached the conclusion that I was not speaking at all—I was, in fact, the proud owner of a catastrophically defective mechanical watch.

According to the app, my entirely fictional timepiece was beating at roughly 18,000 BPH and losing about 1 hour and 32 minutes every single day. I admire the confidence. Faced with the choice between “this person is obviously talking” and “this is the worst watch ever manufactured,” ChronoLog committed to the latter.

The app never stopped to ask the obvious question: “Could this possibly not be a watch?”

Beyond that, I struggle to see the value in many of the other features, especially now that the app has abandoned its free trial in favor of an upfront purchase.

Take the newly released “Wear Log.” Every time you put on a watch, you tell the app. Every time you take it off, you tell the app again. In exchange, the app rewards you with an exquisitely detailed historical record confirming that, yes, you wore your watch.

Curious which watch you wear most often? Unable to glance down at your wrist over the course of several weeks and form even a vague impression? ChronoLog has a painstaking, manual, bespoke workflow for exactly that.

The app feels less like a tool for watch enthusiasts and more like an experiment in seeing how many ordinary activities can be converted into data entry. If future updates teach the microphone the difference between a mechanical escapement and a guy saying “click” over and over, I’ll happily give it another look.

Thanks for your feedback! You seem slightly misinformed about how audio processing works. If you care to learn, I have a detailed technical write up on my website covering how the audio capture works. Keep up the good work!

Great App. Great Price.

Amazing app. Does what all the other apps do but more for so much less money. This app/tool is worth so much more than the $4 one time payment. Other apps charge a monthly fee of like $6 but do less than this and that just crazy. My favorite features are the ability to see the movement of the watch in 3D and the vibration clicks per seconds help me set the accuracy so well. 10/10 app. If you’re a watch enthusiast or even just starting the hobby I couldn’t recommend this app more.

This app is so worth it!!

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review! I'm glad you feel that it is a good value for the price. I'm very proud to deliver a premium product and experience for watch collectors without exploitative subscription pricing. It makes it harder for me because I don't have money for marketing like my competitors, but I hope word of mouth can do the job :)

Amazing & Well Designed Watch App

I tried a couple of the watch apps on the store and this one is the best. I like the layout, as it is very easy to use. Logging your watch time/accuracy is easy. The dev also just recently made some cool updates, including some graphics to show watch internals. I really like the simple clock interface as well. Some of the other watch apps are missing this key feature.

Useful, enjoyable, well worth the low cost

This is my favorite app of this kind. It offers many ways to measure and provides great insight into the results over time. For a single purchase I’ve benefited from every update. Thanks Tyler!

I appreciate you leaving a review. If you ever have feedback for how I can improve Chronolog to make the best watch accuracy and timegrapher app, please let me know!

Great app

Super useful, fun to use and a great value with no subscription. I

Pleased

So far I’m very pleased with the app. The audio tick detector seems to be reproducible and the best part is you’re not roped in for a subscription. That I like. I’m happy to give Tyler his seven dollars one time payment for what this offers

Perfect for true enthusiasts

Fantastic app for true watch enthusiasts who like to track movement accuracy and set their watches down to the second with atomic time. It’s an app I use multiple times throughout the day and I really enjoy that the developer is still providing updates. Well worth the few bucks for the premium version. The latest update was also a big improvement Highly recommend!

I appreciate you for using ChronoLog to manage your collection and measure accuracy of your mechanical watches. And I extra appreciate you taking the time to leave a review! Don’t hesitate to reach out with any feedback.

Great app for casual and dedicated enthusiasts

This app is great. I like to get in the weeds with my hobbies (stats, tracking metrics, keeping files) and this is a great tool. It provides in depth user functions but in an easy to use and intuitive interface. The paid version is very fairly priced and is worth every penny. Highly recommended!

Thanks for leaving a review! I’m committed to making ChronoLog Watch Accuracy the best app for mechanical watch enthusiasts and feedback from folks like yourself helps me to do that!

Use it every day

I use ChronoLog every day to set my watches by and it’s great. The beat feature makes it super easy to count and click at just the right second.

ChronoLog stops me going down a slippery slope of buying a dedicated timegrapher.

Лучшее!

Однозначно лучшее приложение из подобных. Очень широкий функционал, удобно в использовании, регулярно обновляется. Из пожеланий хотелось бы видеть поддержку liquid glass, иконки в ночном режиме и наладить синхронизацию с атомными часами (сейчас очень плохо работает). Разработчику большое спасибо! 🤝
PS: с обновлением 2.0 лучшее приложение стало еще лучше 👍

Спасибо, что нашли время оставить отзыв! Я ценю ваши предложения. Мне нужно будет изучить Liquid Glass — я использовал кроссплатформенный фреймворк Flutter для этого приложения, и не знаю, насколько хорошо они его поддерживают, но я попробую. Атомная синхронизация стала причиной множества сообщений об ошибках, и я исправлю её в следующей версии! Я стремлюсь сделать это приложение лучшим для измерения точности механических часов, и отзывы таких людей, как вы, помогают мне не сбиться с пути! Спасибо!

Easy way to measure your automatic watch’s accuracy

I have tried a few apps that aid in tracking your watch’s accuracy, and this one is definitely one of the better ones. First of all, it’s easy to take a measurement - due to its “smart prediction” and big (easy to hit when you’re staring at your watch) button. It also has a clock section that helps when setting the time on a watch, as well as tracking other time zones, GMT, etc. Plus, it has a refined UI and a reasonable price, so it’s been pretty useful!

No subscription! Best watch accuracy app

Other apps promise a lot, and don’t deliver. This is the best and simplest app. It is a one time payment while others charge the same amount monthly.

an absolute steal for the functionality

this is my first review on the app store in YEARS. i really can’t remember the last one i did. for the price of entry for this app you get full forever access to catalog your watches with their pertinent data, purchase date, price paid, etc. and with very easily tracking of how slow or fast your watches are running with historical data to see trends over time, as well as the perfect analog clock WITH haptic feedback per second to set your watch right on time very easily. app is attractive and minimalistic to a degree with only the important info displayed. this is the perfect app for someone wanting to casually keep up with watch accuracy.

Thanks for the review! It's a labor of love to build and maintain this side project. Hearing from people who enjoy it is a great reward.

Fundamentally flawed

This app measure very accurate timepieces against the SYSTEM TIME of a iPhone which deviates from atomic time quite randomly(+2-2 daily). Having paid for the app, I really wish it could at least take the measurements from atomic clock just to give me peace of mind.

It freaks me out to see a spring drive to gain 2 s overnight. What actually happened was the system time falling slow for 2s.

Version 1.9.9 (in review) has improvements to the atomic time service. The measurements should be against atomic time. I’ll investigate this potential issue. You may find you can get support more efficiently via the contact options in the app as opposed to leaving negative reviews.

Don’t buy premium

Wasted $5. I expected a watch accuracy app to measure bph. It does not. Read the fine print.

Excellent app!

If you are observing the performance of your wrist watches over time and dial orientations, this app is amazing. Clearly designed by a real lover of watches. The data can be easily exported, imported and reviewed offline for data nerds.
