Best app I’ve tried yet to track my watches
This app pretty much does all you could ask: logs your wear time, tracks your watches accuracy by both manual input and the ability to take a picture, as well as work as a Timegrapher which admittedly I haven’t tried that feature since I have an actual Timegrapher. The other feature are pretty much flawless and the app is laid out extremely user friendly. I really like the fact that it gives you stats on what watch you wear the most/least, most recent, and what hasn’t been on your wrist in a long time. Just buy this app you won’t be disappointed

Geräusche angeblich zu leise - ist eine Standuhr, die man einen Raum weiter noch hört…😆
Bisher die beste App zum Thema
Ich habe sämtliche Apps zum Funktionsumfang „Dokumentation der Sammlung“, sowie „Vermessung der Sammlung“ im AppStore getestet (inkl. Premium Funktionen) und muss sagen diese App hier ist der beste Allrounder.
Es gibt Apps, bei denen die KI Automatismen eventuell etwas akkurater treffen, aber das ist eine absolut sekundäre Funktionalität.
Bei der Abweichungsdokumentation ist das Ergebnis hier übersichtlich gestaltet und schnell erfasst.
Gerade bei größeren Sammlungen leidet die Übersichtlichkeit bei der Konkurrenz stark.
Positiv nennen muss man hier auch die Update-Politik, denn die kommen oft, bzw. regelmäßig mit sinnigen Verbesserungen.
Die Audiomessung funktioniert inzwischen auch super.
Was ich mir da allerdings noch wünschen würde, wäre dass das dot-Protokoll mit Beat-Error und Amplitude auch nach der Erfassung noch einsehbar ist - es bleibt leider nur der ermittelte Wert ersichtlich, den Rest muss man direkt nach der Erfassung mit einem Screenshot speichern, sonst sieht man es nie wieder - deshalb einen Stern Abzug.
Ein weiterer Verbessungsvorschlag wäre noch, das man zum verwendeten Gerät eventuell eine Grafik hätte, mit der man die genaue Position des zur Audiomessung verwendeten Mikrofons einsehen kann.
Das bekommt man zwar auch mit einer Internetrecherche heraus, aber gerade neuen, oder technisch unbedarften Nutzern würde man so den Weg zu einem genaueren Ergebnis bereiten.

După câteva folosiri a început să nu mai “audă” microfonul telefonului (semnal slab), deși microfonul nu are nici o problemă. A devenit inutilă…
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.

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 :)
Best Customer support ever.
At the beginning the application did not work perfectly but after contact with Tyler started working as expected. Strongly recommended.
Fee
you should just make the app paid from the beginning instead of forcing you to pay to continue using it.
Výborná aplikace
Po poslední aktualizaci došlo k výrazné vizuální změně aplikace, vypadá výborně. Došlo i k opravám chyb a přidání nových funkcí - super, jen tak dále.
Splňuje veškeré funkce které jsem hledal. Přesný čas pro seřízení, evidenci (specifikace, datum i cena pořízení) a měření pro vícero hodinek. Dokonce mohu i sledovat jak často které hodinky nosím :-) Možnostmi aplikace jsem překvapen a velice potěšen.

Thoughtfully Designed, Sleek App
Makes it easy to log my watch every morning, as far as I can tell it’s very accurate. Support small developers and buy this app! Well worth the money.
You Need To Take Time For This App
This app is precisely the app that I’ve been looking for. The fact that it’s a one time payment is rad and the developer is super responsive too.
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.

Thanks for using my app and taking the time to leave a review! I have fun building and maintaining this app and I’m happy you are enjoying it. If you ever have any feedback on how I can make it even better, please reach out!
Highly recommended
Best in its category! The developer consistently listens to user feedback. I can only recommend it!
This by far one best app available on App Store
I purchased on my Android device decided purchased Apple OS version , is very stable and by far best in App Store very well polish and with support sync to atomic clock . I noticed Apple version offer landscape mode compared to Android device and been using for over year now I have collections of over 40 watches and surprisingly I was able to migrate my backup of watches from Android to Apple kudos to Tyler excellent and well polish app

Works
Great app the free version provided enough usefulness to be worthy of upgrading to the paid version.
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!
Response from developer
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!
Response from developer
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!
