Please add a zoom when taking a picture
It’s really hard talking a picture without being able to zoom in. I need a 2x, 1x, and 0.5x zoom button for my iPhone Pro Max, which has 3 different cameras on the back. It’s too small to see otherwise, and getting closer only results in a blurry picture.
Update: the new version 1.4.3 is very cool in how it will crop out the watch and attempt to audio-detect the time. But it’s still only a virtual zoom, and leaves me with a low resolution picture of the face of my watch which makes reading the time quite hard. I still need a physical hardware zoom. But I appreciate your effort and your response. Keep up the good work

Response from developer
Thank you for the feedback! We have thought about this issue, and come up with something we think works even better than manual zoom buttons. In the latest versions of the app, we detect where your watch is on the camera feed, so we can make sure your watch is always in focus. Also, when you take the picture of your watch, we again detect where the watch is on the image and crop around it, to make it look bigger. This way, you do not need to select a zoom level on your own, as you Watch will fill the whole image. If the image is not clear enough when inserting the time, you can always zoom in on the image of the watch there, by using two fingers on the image. If you have any other feedback or requests for the app, do not hesitate to contact us on clockwork.watch.app@gmail.com! Best regards, The Clockwork - Watch app team

Pointless trial
It took a nice picture but that was it. The app didn’t take a note of the watch time so only recorded the atomic clock time with no delta.
I deleted the app.

App closing
Now on IOS 18.3 the app open and close immediately
Very inaccurate
Tried the free version to begin with and it looked like it was giving a reasonable and believable result (given the limited five measurements you get with the free version).
I paid for the full version and added three watches. These were all quartz analog watches and known to be very accurate (as checked with my radio-controlled watch).
However, I got some very odd results. Two of the watches returned -2.5 and -3.5 seconds per day while the third was apparently -74.3s/day! This is a very large amount for a quartz watch and would have been obvious to me previously as I compared them to my radio-controlled watch.
As a test I measured my radio-controlled watch (which never fails to pick up the time signal) and the app says it’s +7.7 seconds / day! This really is a terribly inaccurate and unreliable app.
I contacted the developer but never received a reply.
I just wanted to know if there was anything I was doing wrong as there aren’t and real instructions.
I got a refund as this app clearly needs some work.

Great simple app
Seems to work well for relative tracking - just don’t understand why when setting the watch with the displayed atomic clock to the correct time the measurement using an image says its 2 seconds slow - so there is a difference of about 2 seconds between the two?
Camera not up to snuff
The app is ok to track accuracy. I like that the app lets me stay timed accurately. However, the camera doesn’t adjust to distance and the pics are out of focus. I merely wait to take a pic as a I observe the seconds hand at 12 o’clock or a known spot. When I snap the pic and it’s used as a stopwatch. If there is a fix please let me know.

That is a clever workaround indeed, but I am glad to say that the camera focus issues has been fixed in the latest release! Update the app an give it should be fixed - Alfred
Please fix write a review feature
Keeps asking over and over. Seriously annoying after each measurement. App is good otherwise
Response from developer
Thanks for letting us know, sounds annoying indeed. We will have a look at this issue soon!
Very easy & intuitive
Great UX/UI for recording exact times. Very easy and intuitive. Thank you.
Doesn't work, I can' even enter the data in manually
Photo method is always significantly incorrect even in good lighting. I asked if they could release a manual time set feature and they said no. This app is useless to me when it can't register the time of my watch. Ipad mini 6. Cannot use camera focus
Clever design, really easy to use.
Simple, effective enough for me just to get an idea how my watch is running.
Da avere
Per chi non ha un cronocomparatore e vuole monitorare la marcia del proprio orologio con semplicità. Ottima app, ho comprato la versione plus che mi permette di gestire tutti i miei orologi
Creepy
I hope it is a joke
You can’t focus when you take a photo properly

As described
The app works as you’d expect, i would like the ability to add more than one picture of each watch though, that way you could keep a small gallery of each watch within the app.
Watch collection
Good app giving me a useful guide to my watch performance
Works
It’s a bit temperamental. But it’s not plastered with ads and it works even without paying. Thanks!

Semplice e funzionale
L’app funziona bene, si può avere la lista dei propri orologi con tutte le misurazioni e ho avuto modo anche di utilizzare il supporto tecnico che è stato disponibile e veloce
Not worth £4.99
I deleted the free version - not very good, the app kept freezing and I found that photographing the watch not a very accurate way, possibly because I’m using a chronograph and it dissident pick up the second hand properly. Even without this issue, the fact it kept freezing was infuriating.
