Petite amélioration

Depuis la dernière mise-à-jour il y a un petit mieux.
Maintenant le tick est détecté j’ai le message « too much noise ». C’est soit ça ou rien. J’ai essayé toutes les configurations possibles mais je n’ai pas obtenu satisfaction pour le moment.
Alors qu’avec mon iPhone 12 il n’y avait aucun problème, avec mon iPhone 17 pro ça ne passe pas.

バージョン1.28の効果

マイクゲイン設定の仕様変更により、1.27では"too much noise"が多発した条件(iOS 26 iPhone with EarPods mic)でも計測できるようになった。

ただしグイン調整は注意を要する。

Rate, Beat errorとamplitudeの3個の数値が安定して計測できるゲイン設定の範囲は狭く、私の時計と試験環境では特定のゲイン設定からプラスマイナス1外れただけで計測値が不安定になったり、全く計測できなくなった。

便利なソフトだが最新のiOSでは問題がある

Apple EarPodsをマイクロフォンとして時計に密着させて使用している。
iOS16.7の古いiPhone8では快適に動作するが、iOS26.5のiPhone14に全く同一の時計、マイクロフォン、測定環境のセットアップを接続すると、”too much noise”アラートが多発してしまう。特に検出アルゴリズムV3ではアラート多発で使用できない。2026年3月時点ではiPhone14と当時の最新iOSで正常に動いていたが、3月から6月の間にあったiOSアップデート以降”too much noise”アラートの多発が発生した。

Ne fonctionne plus après un changement de matériel

Depuis que je suis passé d’un iPhone 12 à un iPhone 17 pro, le micro de mes écouteurs, que j’utilisais avec succès jusqu’à présent, ne capte plus les ticks des mes montres.
Dommage…

Can’t use with bluetooth microphone

I tried with my air pods and an other bluetooth mic. it would be good if we can select the source. it always use the iphones internal microphone

Very accurate timegrapher

This has helped me tremendously see the health of vintage Omega watches. It is extremely sensitive data-in, so a quiet space is necessary. It has never failed me and remains a great tool for all watches, not just vintage. It continues to blow my mind with how accurate the amplitude is as well.

Perfect for Seiko build

I was building a grand seiko using an NH35 mechanism. The watch was gaining 6 minutes a day! Used this ap to confirm how out of sync the mechanism was and managed to get the watch to -1 second a day

New to mechanical watches

Certainly a dynamic app. Has all the features of a professional watch grapher. It does take a little manipulation of the settings to gather data. I am having a little trouble in auto detect mode. If you enter a manual mode rate first and then switch back to auto detect, it recognizes the bph. One request would be an audible ticking as that would put it on par with the professional models. Worth the investment, thanks.

Great app, the best I have seen so far

The detection algorithms seem to work well. Depending on the watch, I had to play a bit among the three algorithms, but so far so good. I was able to measure every watch I tried.

Can we please add a “monitoring” function to route the post-processed audio signal to the audio playback device? (Similar to the app Garage Band). This would allow us to use the audio output to optimize mic placement before measuring. Also it would allow the user to hear the ticks while taking the measurements.

Not adequate

Lost my $ on this app

Limited to watches

This works ok for testing watches, which is its stated purpose. I wonder: could the beats rate range be extended to include mechanical clocks too?

Average values

Average values are not calculated! All others are fine.

Usable

I use this app for some years already and can achieve that my mechanical watches run very accurate. For this it takes some time, I need to repeat measures, play around with the settings and be very accurate with the mic position (cable headset). Comparing them with the PTB-clock and after some days make final movement adjustments will give great results. But, as said, be patient!
Recently the app does not calculate averages anymore, although still activated in the settings!???

Good

I'm worried because it starts collecting microphones as soon as I start it. I want you to do it only when measuring.

Doesn’t work

Difficult to use takes for ever to obtain any data. Inconsistent reading. Do not buy

Excellent Timegrapher

Semble pouvoir remplacer un Timegrapher. Les résultats sont tout à fait cohérent. La meilleure App après en avoir tester plusieurs si iPhone.

İyi

Ücretsiz uygulamalara aldanıp saati servise vermeyin. Daha uygun fiyata satılabilirdi ama uygulama başarılı, sonuçları iyi tavsiye ederim.

Works well… most of the time

When it works, it works really well but sometimes it can be quite finicky. Some watches it can’t really pick up the ticks even if I can hear it audibly. I would say it works 80% of the time hence the 4/5 star rating.

Only shows amplitude

I am considering a refund. Does not display beat error or rate. "collecting data" does not change for those parameters.

Excellent with care

This is the best iPhone app I have tried (I have not tried all). It gives you all the settings and output you need to access the performance of a mechanical movement, and slo to troubleshoot certain issues. It is as good as a special machine BUT is heavily dependent on correct microphone usage. This is what I did. I bought USB-C ear pods from Apple for £19. The button has a microphone on it (it’s the side of the picture of the microphone). Basically wedging that between the back of the phone and a cushion from a watch roll (picture of microphone facing watch back). Then closing the watch roll, running the cable of course out to the phone. Then putting the watch roll under my duvet and covering it further with a pillow (don’t know if the pillow is necessary). Make sure the watch is fully wound, as if not low amplitude may show better results then you get when the heart is fully pumping. The settings I use are tick detection noise cancelling on. Super gain off. Tick detection algorithm v2. Diagram noise reduction period medium or high. Beat detection auto. Works like a charm
