### 4/5 — Very good

*2026-06-18*

Great app for tracking watch accuracy. Just a shame it doesn’t sync between multiple devices. Other than that, all good!

### 4/5 — Very accurate

*2026-04-09, version 1.2.6*

I’m very pressed on how a accurately this apps tracks my watch, well done.
I just wish the UI would be a bit nicer and more intuitive

### 3/5 — Was a great app until the data corrupted

*2026-02-27*

I've been using this app for almost 2 years, and randomly I lost all my data. Unfortunate, it was interesting to see how accurate some of my watches were over the years. I'll still use it because it works well for tracking watch health, but I won't count on that long term data (the cloud had the data corrupted as well)

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2025-10-14, version 1.2.3*

Has an atomic clock setting to help set the watch, tracks all my watches, does timing runs, it’s exactly what I wanted. I’m happy.

### 5/5 — The perfect app?

*2025-10-03, version 1.2.3*

Just what you need and everything that you need. Very satisfied also of the developer quick response to my questions about atomic time. I’m confident now about the high quality of data, and it’s also really fun to use this application. Excellent design and implementation.

### 4/5 — Great app but broken on iPhone 16 pro

*2025-09-30, version 1.2.3*

Been using this for a few years now on various devices without complaint. It’s broken on my iPhone 16 Pro though. Works for a few days before opening it results in a black screen and eventual crash. Only way to fix it is a reinstall and the cycle starts again. Doesn’t happen on my iPad Pro ever. I sync with iCloud so maybe something to do with that. Frustrating though.

Update: worked out that if I close the app on iPhone, log a new data point on a timing run on iPad and then open the iPhone app afterwards, it’ll work again. Maybe corrupted data that the forcing of an iCloud sync (with the adding of the new data point) is fixing/repairing?

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2025-09-06, version 1.2.3*

A perfect app for tracking watch accuracy! I’ve been using it for years now. It works flawlessly and provides lots of great data (including graphs). Design wise it’s quite simple but it doesn’t need a fancy UI, it does everything it needs to and does so very smoothly. Would highly recommend.

### 5/5 — Perfect for tracking watch accuracy over time

*2025-08-31, version 1.2.3*

I use it for all of my watches to track how reliably they keep time and if they need regulation. Easy to use.

### 5/5 — The tool you need

*2025-06-10, version 1.2.3*

if you want to keep track of your watch’s performance!

### 5/5 — Does what it says it will

*2025-05-22*

Handy watch tracker to keep track of multiple timepieces

### 5/5 — Genau richtig

*2025-05-22*

Ich finde diese App genial, sie bietet genau das, was ich gesucht habe. 
Ich will die Abweichung meiner Uhren im Alltag am Handgelenk messen. Eine Zeitwaage kann das nicht. 
Dadurch, dass man selbst einen Button drückt, wenn der Sekundenzeiger eine bestimmte Stelle passiert, entstehen kleine Ungenauigkeiten. Auf einen Zeitraum von mehreren Tagen spielt das aber keine Rolle mehr.

### 5/5 — Great App.

*2025-04-18, version 1.2.3*

This is a very good App.  Works great, I use it almost daily to track my watch(es) accuracy and to maintain a historical log of their performance.

### 5/5 — Awesome app!

*2025-02-11, version 1.2.2*

I have 6 watches I’m tracking on this app. I love it!

### 5/5 — Pared down, functional!

*2025-02-10, version 1.2.3*

My favorite app for tracking long-term and functional accuracy of my watches. Who cares how it performs on a timegrapher this tracks it on my wrist!

### 5/5 — Useful and easy to use app

*2025-01-11, version 1.2.3*

The app is well designed,  requires no instructions.  The functionality is really good.  I like the ability to add comments to individual entries, so I can recall the position of the watch, for example.

### 5/5 — Hilfreiche App

*2024-12-09*

Die App ermöglicht eine bequeme Erfassung des Gangs der Uhr und dessen grafische Darstellung. Bei Fragen gibt es schnellen Support vom Entwickler.

### 4/5 — Doesn’t seem to work with iOS 18

*2024-12-08*

Needs to be updated

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2026-01-01, version 1.2.5*

Complete waste of money , doesn't work with 26.2

### 1/5 — Not working with iOS 26

*2025-10-12, version 1.2.3*

This stopped working when I upgraded to a new iPhone 17 Pro and iOS 26. Crashes on start. Beware. I’ll update the review to 5 stars if they fix it.

### 1/5 — Erratic

*2024-11-26*

Impossible to consistently click the screen at the right time and get accurate results. I have my watch set to be exactly the same as the clock on the iPhone. The seconds hands are in sync. Sometimes the app says my watch is fast and sometimes it says it’s slow, but this is because of when I’m clicking the screen and is not a measure of the accuracy of my watch. I also wonder if there’s a bug in the way things are calculated. For example after a few days of doing periodic time checks the app says my watch is -1.8 spd. It also says my iPhones clock is .068 seconds slow. However the seconds hand on my watch and the iPhone clocks seconds hands are still 100% synched up. How does -1.8 spd make any sense? It doesn’t. I can’t remember how much I bought this app for or if it was free but it’s being removed from my phone. If I’m ever worried my watch isnt keeping time I’ll buy a timeographer. As it is I know it’s very accurate as it’s keeping the same time as the iPhones clock, down to the second.

### 1/5 — Needs update

*2024-06-24, version 1.2.3*

Watch tracker app has been good for years until recently. Now it will not load and crashes frequently. I have removed and reinstalled the app twice with the same issue. Please update and repair bugs! Thank you.

### 1/5 — AVOID it’s Not Worth $4.99

*2023-10-12, version 1.2.2*

WatchTracker being overpriced is a HUGE understatement. 
I can do everything this app does by holding up my Sinn 857 UTC VFR 
next to my iPhone analog clock and recording/writing down the +/- seconds difference. 
Thats it…..
At $5.29 with tax this may be the biggest waste of $ I have ever spent. 
I have emailed the developer requesting a refund with no response. 
AVOID

### 1/5 — Inaccurate

*2023-03-28, version 1.2.2*

The issue with this app is when the watch is running fast it does not allow for and accurate reading if you take a measurement every 4-5 days.  When you go to measure the time data point the time on the app has already passed what is on the watch.   The algorithm is not advanced enough to do anything but to take measurements every day.

### 1/5 — Glorified spreadsheet

*2023-02-28, version 1.2.2*

This is a glorified and inconvenient version of a spreadsheet for recording time diffs between your watch and atomic time from a network connection. Entry is totally manual. No actual timegrapher via audio or anything like that.

### 1/5 — Irreführend

*2020-11-15*

Die app erweckt den Anschein als ob mann damit die Genauigkeit der uhr messen kann. Aber mann kann damit lediglich sehen wieviel die Uhrzeit auf der Armbanduhr von der Uhrzeit im handy nach einer bestimmten zeit abweicht. Dafür brauche ich keine app.

### 1/5 — Unbrauchbar

*2020-02-24*

App ist Total für die Einstellung der Mechanischen Uhr unbrauchbar.

### 1/5 — Arnaque !

*2019-12-02*

Je n’achète jamais des app. Je viens d’essayer et c’est une arnaque ! Il faut entrer manuellement les données. Il n’y a pas d’enregistrement automatique des données par un micro. C’est nul ! Je peux faire le calcul moi-même... une belle à arnaque.

### 5/5 — Very close to ideal

*2026-08-11*

I review apps in terms of “would I install it again?” And for this one, that’s a definite “yes”. Been using it for several years, and it makes keeping an eye on real performance variations  pretty easy. Having a timegrapher isn’t a substitute because of the stored history and stats display options.
If asked to criticise it id suggest that its a minor gripe to have no permanent display of exact present time without digging back to bootup menu. Minor? Yes. Gripe? Yep. Were this my work (I wish!!) I’d have a time reference on all screens. Why’s it so buried? Goodness knows. Fix that, for me Id consider this to be close to ideal as a tool dedicated to keeping a weather eye on watch health.
But. It does encourage you to fixate on minor fluctuations that - in a “real world universe” without digitime exactness so universal we would set our watch, put it on, and essentially forget about checks until you noted it’d drifted a touch too far from that real time reference - so you’d correct that and get on with actual LIFE instead of this silly fixating on seconds-errors being seen as excessive.

### 5/5 — A Hidden Gem for Watch Enthusiasts ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

*2026-08-06*

I’ve been using Watch Tracker for several years, and it’s still my go-to app for monitoring the accuracy of my mechanical watches. It’s one of those rare apps that focuses on doing one thing exceptionally well.

The interface is clean, intuitive, and free of unnecessary clutter. Tracking multiple watches, viewing long-term accuracy trends, analyzing rate and variance graphs, and exporting data when needed are all thoughtfully implemented. The atomic clock synchronization and best-fit analysis make it incredibly useful for anyone who enjoys understanding how their watches perform over time. (App Store⁠￼)

My only minor issue is the camera feature for taking watch photos. The alignment can be a bit inconsistent, so it would be nice to see that polished in a future update.

I’d love to see an optional way to support the development, whether through donations or a tip feature. I’d be happy to contribute to help support its continued development.

Highly recommended to any mechanical watch enthusiast. Five stars without hesitation.

### 5/5 — Love WatchTracker

*2026-07-01*

Really great app. I use it all the time to set my watches but also to record ownership of those that have come and gone. I use the data points to as it tells you if your watch is running fast or slow and it it super easy to use all the functions too. Well done to this developer, it’s brilliant.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2026-04-24*

I’ve been using this app for years to keep track of all my watches. I can easily see if they’re running fast or slow and change the position I leave them in at night to “regulate” them. A watch nerds dream.
Thank you!!

### 5/5 — Works great

*2026-03-13, version 1.2.3*

Intuitive interface. Much better than the other apps i tried

### 5/5 — Still the Best After All These Years

*2026-02-06*

I’ve used this app for many years. The last review I wrote—also many years ago—no longer appears on the review list. I actually love this app so much that I’m writing another review to compliment the developer and to explain why some reviewers, although in small numbers, may have found the app inaccurate or hard to use.

This app is not a timegrapher that gives instant readings on your watch’s rate. Instead, it collects data points by having you match your watch’s time to the app’s time (or atomic time). Using at least two reference points, the app then calculates, graphs, and tracks your watch’s rate. You can start a new time run anytime you adjust your watch, and you can also track multiple watches with the app.

The only real requirement for accuracy is having quick reflexes—because you need to tap the screen when your watch shows the exact time displayed on the app. If you can’t tap within about 0.2 to 0.5 seconds of the shown time, the results might not be as accurate or meaningful.

Whether you’re a casual collector or a serious watch enthusiast, this app is a must-have if you care about tracking your watch’s accuracy over time. It’s easy to use and gives you detailed insights into how fast or slow your watch is running—something any watch lover will appreciate.

### 5/5 — 5 stars

*2026-02-01, version 1.2.6*

This is a very good and reliable watch timing app. I have been using it for years.

### 5/5 — Brillant! 👌🏻

*2026-01-17*

Simple, efficace et facile d’usage. Cette application permet de quantifier la dérive d’un mouvement sur une très longue période. 😉

### 5/5 — Great Tool to track all watches

*2025-12-25*

I am using this app for years and years, and it helps me to track the precision of my watch collection, the effect of  different wearing conditions , and so on. 
It can even track high precision Quartz watches in the seconds per year range, albeit you have to send the author a short note and ask for individual activation. This feature really should be integrated in the standard festure set.
Strongly recommended app!

### 5/5 — Great app (but broken on iPhone 16 pro - FIXED)

*2025-12-03*

Been using this for a few years now on various devices without complaint. It’s broken on my iPhone 16 Pro though. Works for a few days before opening it results in a black screen and eventual crash. Only way to fix it is a reinstall and the cycle starts again. Doesn’t happen on my iPad Pro ever. I sync with iCloud so maybe something to do with that. Frustrating though.

Update: worked out that if I close the app on iPhone, log a new data point on a timing run on iPad and then open the iPhone app afterwards, it’ll work again. Maybe corrupted data that the forcing of an iCloud sync (with the adding of the new data point) is fixing/repairing?

Update2: The recent update (Nov/Dec 2025) seems to have done the trick. No issues since.
