### 5/5 — Fantastic!

*2026-08-12*

Keeps track of my current collection and the watches I’m interested in. Well-organized and easy to use.

**Developer response:** So glad you like it, thanks for sharing!
Cheers,
Taylor

### 5/5 — THE One

*2026-08-07*

After trying several similar apps, this is THE BEST app for watch collecting. Clean, intuitive, and easy to use, ChronoQueue is perfect for horologists, enthusiasts, or casual watch wearers. Add the lifetime subscription, and you won’t be sorry, as it allows multiple queues and an infinite  number of watches on each list. For me, the best feature is importing/adding watches through copy/paste links. Accurate imports and pictures, and an active link to quickly find the watches online. A must have app! Well done!

**Developer response:** This means so much to me, thanks for the amazing review! I’m so glad that ChronoQueue provides the elegant, powerful tools you need. Many more features and updates to come!

### 5/5 — THIS is THE Collector’s App

*2026-08-03*

I’ve tried several apps to track my watch collection and this is, BY FAR, the best. It is intuitive, clean, and simple. It doesn’t try to do too much. I especially appreciate the ability to add watches to queues through html links, which imports the information AND remains an active link for easy look up. VERY well done and appreciated!

### 5/5 — Great for organizing watch collections

*2026-07-31*

On my 3rd day using now. Lots of fun to load with the collection and play with features. Looking forward to seeing this app develop. I’m a fan so far.

**Developer response:** Thanks for sharing, so glad you’re enjoying it so far. Stay tuned for lots more to come!

-Taylor

### 5/5 — Brilliant app

*2026-07-31, version 2.7.9*

Honestly can’t fault it. Obviously with it being a new app there are some bugs but these can be flattened out easily. Excellent way to track my wrist time and show people my collection!

### 5/5 — Way better than my notes app…

*2026-07-30*

Recently got into watches about a month ago and have been slowly building up the collection. I was previously tracking all my “queued” watches on my notes app; going back and forth taking screenshots, recording the exact reference number, and price. This app does it all for you and provides a link to quickly revisit the site to buy from when you decide to do so. 

The featured page seems to have some potential (and could already be something they are working on) on using it as a ‘social media’ type of page. It would be cool to be able to add friends, view their collections and new pick ups, as well as view others collections and queues for future watch inspirations. Kind of like a ‘for you page’ so to speak. Would be fun to just scroll and browse watches from other collectors. 

Overall, love it so far.

**Developer response:** I was using notes too, and thought “there has to be a better way”… turns out I just had to build it! Glad you’re enjoying it, thanks for sharing your experience.

The social features you described are in development this very moment. Coming soon — stay tuned!

-Taylor

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2026-07-29*

Great app! Love all the features. Hoping they one day add a friends and feed to see what friends have collected/added to the queue. That would make it even better!

**Developer response:** Glad you like it! The social expansion you’re looking for is in development now — stay tuned!

-Taylor

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-07-29, version 2.7.8*

Awesome app. Easy to use and a great tool addition to my hobby.

### 5/5 — Great Nerdy App

*2026-07-23*

I have been wanting an app like this for a long time. Gone are the days of complicated Excel sheets to keep track of wrist time. I love how I can import the watches from my collection to not only have a nice digital view of my entire collection, but also for the nerdy side of me to look back and see which watches I wear and more importantly, which watches I don’t end up wearing.

**Developer response:** Watch nerds unite! Glad you’re enjoying it, thanks for sharing your experience.

Cheers,
Taylor

### 5/5 — Great app with small downsides

*2026-06-28, version 2.7.6*

I love this app but getting unlimited watches is really expensive

### 5/5 — Great for everyone

*2026-06-05, version 2.7.4*

Taylor has done an amazing job curating this app. It’s ease of use and sleek styling makes this an easy option for me, someone who’s just starting out their watch journey. The add a watch by link feature is fantastic at pulling over data directly from the manufacturer’s website. One of my favourite features is the articles that Taylor writes. It’s really nice to read others thoughts and opinions on excellent watches, all contained in the app.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-05-02*

As someone who recently has gotten into collecting watches, I started seeing this app thrown out there. The concept of copying a link and getting my watch into my collection is awesome. I used Chrono24 and they don’t have half of my watches because they are microbrands. 

Debating the Perpetual, and cost is only thing holding me back but I’m not holding that against Taylor or the app.

**Developer response:** I appreciate the review! This is one of the big reasons that drove me to build ChronoQueue: what good is Chrono24 if it doesn’t have my watches?

I hope the Classic experience is rich and fulfilling—I don’t want collectors feeling like Perpetual is the only way to be able to enjoy the app. Finding that line is an ongoing process. I appreciate your input, and you can reach me directly through the app anytime.

Keep Collecting!
Taylor

### 5/5 — Best of the watch collection apps

*2026-04-30*

I’ve used most of the top watch collection apps out there, and this one is my favorite from a design and UX perspective. Sleek, easy to use, and fairly generous with the free features (at least for your own collection, the wishlist filled up pretty fast).

**Developer response:** Thanks for sharing! I’m glad to hear the design and experience are working well for you. Lots more polish and new features coming soon!

-Taylor

### 5/5 — Nice app for watch addicts

*2026-04-23*

This is a really nice app. It is a nice way to keep a wishlist and track which watches you’re wearing. I’ve tried a few apps like this, and this app has the best or one of the best layouts and looks. When you buy a watch and it moves from your wishlist to your watch box the app gives you a sound FX and animation that triggers some dopamine, not unlike unlocking a loot box when playing a video game. Plus, the app has a handy clock to help you set that day’s mechanical watch.

**Developer response:** I’m really glad you’re enjoying it, and congrats on the newly acquired watch! Thanks very much for sharing your experience. Stay tuned for many more exciting features!

-Taylor

### 5/5 — Must have for watch collectors

*2026-04-12*

If you’re a watch collector and not using ChronoQueue yet, you’re seriously missing out.

I’ve tried just about every app out there to track collections and wish lists, and nothing comes close to how intuitive and polished this one feels. The ability to add watches using a simple link—and have the app automatically pull in high-resolution images and details—is a game changer. It makes building and organizing a collection effortless and actually enjoyable.

What really sets ChronoQueue apart, though, is the developer. You can tell this isn’t just another app—it’s clearly built by someone who understands collectors. Feedback is taken seriously, updates come quickly, and improvements actually reflect what users want.

It’s rare to find something this well thought out and easy to use in the watch space. Whether you’re just getting into watches or managing a serious collection, this app deserves way more attention than it’s getting.

Highly recommended.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the incredible review. I sincerely appreciate your positive feedback and recommendation! I’m working hard to live up to this reputation.

Hope you stick around for the journey as ChronoQueue continues to grow and improve - it’s made possible by collectors like yourself.

### 5/5 — Exactly what I was looking for.

*2026-04-08*

Took a chance on this app, and Taylor has killed it. Love the integration of looking up watches via a URL. What I enjoyed the most was being able to save a wishlist and actually being able to share it with family and friends as gift ideas. The one downside I see this far is I am unable to buy the premium version and am limited to the 20 items that come with the free version. Hope that gets fixed soon as I am looking to add more soon!

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for the glowing review! You nailed it- sharing lists with my family and friends was the number 1 reason ChronoQueue was born. (My wife has now selected several perfect watches for me as gifts, that alone is worth it!) I’m glad it can do that for you too!

I really appreciate the patience as I fixed the bug you mentioned also. Unlimited watches are now yours!

Thanks again,
Taylor

### 1/5 — Can’t identify watch!

*2026-07-29, version 2.7.9*

Love the idea. However, took multiple pictures of my watch. After five attempts and all different watch brands not at all close. Watch is an Anonimo Modelo 2014

### 1/5 — Doesn’t load

*2026-07-28*

App just doesn’t load

**Developer response:** Sorry you experienced this! There was a two minute window yesterday where the database was migrating to a larger compute size to accommodate a huge influx of new users — maybe you got caught in that window. Give the app a try, I think you’ll enjoy it!

Best,
Taylor

### 2/5 — Money spent

*2026-09-16*

This app started out great, but it’s showing flaws and for an application that you pay for it should be fixed quickly. The estimate estimated value and the investment part of it that’s shown at the bottom when you open the app is totally wrong. It needs to be fixed. Good concept, but I will not pay for an application that isn’t working properly please fix quickly thank you. I actually enjoy using the app.

**Developer response:** Hey, thanks for feedback! I haven’t seen you reach out about this until now - you can message me directly about any experiences in the app via Settings -> Bug Report, and I’ll address it right away. If you’ll let me know what numbers look wrong to you, it will help me improve the feature.

The Economics feature is also receiving an update to its valuation strategy very soon!

-Taylor

### 4/5 — Very cool collection tracking app

*2026-05-20*

This is perfect for tracking my daily wear and my watch wishlist. I do wish there was more of a social aspect to the app. It would be cool if I could add friends and check their queues and collections. Something where we could post state of the collection or a wrist check, that would complete this app in my opinion.

**Developer response:** Thanks Joe for the review! I completely agree — these social features and even more are currently under development. Thanks for supporting the app thus far, and stay tuned for social expansion!

-Taylor

### 5/5 — Really good

*2026-10-09*

Have tooled around with a half dozen of these things and the different marketplaces — none of them really are as simple and cross-platform as this one. Definitely recommend for having a place to dump all the watches I stumble upon, covet, and then forget about so I can later review if I’m getting serious. Biggest plus is I can publish my wishlist which then lets me share it around + ingest it to AI like Muse to nerd out / create monitors. :)

### 5/5 — Honest opinion

*2026-09-18*

I don’t usually leave reviews but this app is genuinely helpful. I am new to watch collecting and I can see myself logging in every day for the rest of my life. It has every feature I would want and even some I haven’t thought of. The average wear calculator is so great because it makes me want to get the per wear down as much as possible to really pay off the watch in wear time. If the dev is reading this, you’re the goat

**Developer response:** Thanks man, I really appreciate that! Gotta get that wear time in so you know the investment was worth it. Welcome to the hobby.

-Taylor

### 5/5 — An Amazing and Amazingly Useful App!

*2026-09-17*

I have been using ChronQueue for about a month now and I am impressed. I’ve looked around for other apps, can’t find anything close to this incredibly useful app. You will love it! The creator even answers questions quickly. Love this app!

**Developer response:** So glad you’ve been enjoying the app, really appreciate the review and it’s been nice chatting with you!

-Taylor

### 5/5 — For all my nerds out there

*2026-09-16, version 2.8.0*

Super fun way to make your hobby feel part of every day. Silly to some but amazing for the rest. A great way to see your whole collection in one place and with the daily streaks you can even go back to remember what watched you wore for what occasions.

### 5/5 — Must have for watch enthusiasts

*2026-09-11*

Perfect app for a watch enthusiasts. So much to love with this app from the wear logs, to the wishlist/owned list, but most importantly a dedicated atomic clock with current moon phase. It can also extrapolate information from websites just by copy pasting a browser link into the app.

**Developer response:** So glad you’re enjoying it, appreciate the review!

-Taylor

### 5/5 — The best one out there

*2026-09-07*

I have tested a bunch of watch collecting apps and this is the best one out there. I love the aesthetically pleasing design, and love seeing a visual thumbnail snapshot view of the watches I wore each month. The background remove function keeps everything clean.

**Developer response:** I appreciate that a lot, the design and feel are super important to me - I want it to be as clean as the watches it houses.

### 5/5 — Excellent Choice for Enthusiasts

*2026-09-03*

Great for tracking your collection, wishlist, and wearing habits. The ability to add watches using URLs is also nice with the feature seeming to get better with time. Gives you perspective on your wearing habits as well as spending habits if that’s something you are interested it :)

If you are on the fence I would give it a shot and mess around with the free version until you feel comfortable upgrading!

**Developer response:** Thanks for the awesome review! You’re right, I’m always working to improve the link extraction. Up to about a 93% success rate now!

-Taylor

### 5/5 — Great app for watch lovers

*2026-08-31, version 2.7.10*

There are some great features including wear tracking, value tracking and a wish list. 
Being able to add a watch by pasting a link is genius!

### 5/5 — Perfect collection tracking app

*2026-08-26*

This is exactly what I was searching for when looking for an app to track my watch collection and keep track of what I am looking for. Great app.

**Developer response:** Thanks for sharing, so glad it’s what you needed!

-Taylor

### 5/5 — Great for watch lovers

*2026-08-24*

A great app for watch lovers to interact with their current and dream collections

**Developer response:** Thanks so much!
