I use it daily!
It’s easy to add a watch and “hide” one that’s been sold. It handles all the information I need for each watch and I really like that I can add notes to each watch.
My preferred screen is the one that shows the wear count, I wish it would stay on that screen every time launch the app, but that’s a small complaint considering the capabilities of this app.
Looking forward to future updates.
Fantastic. I just wish…
I kept track of my watches and wear rate religiously on my old phone. Then when I had to switch to a new one, I lost it all (and so didn’t reinstall the app as I couldn’t face loading all the data again).
Great app for tracking your watch collection!
Great app for managing watch collection
- Would be great to have a place to store photos or pdf scans of the warranty card/paper
- Would be great to have a place to input whether the watch is insured, insured value, insurance company and policy number.
- Allow place for additional pictures (more than just the current two)
- Allow backing up the data to iCloud.

Hi Nate19772, Thank you for your review. It's nice to hear that you like the app. Really appreciate your good suggestions also! I'm sure some of those will find their way already to the next update. Thank you once again for helping to make the app even better! ** Edit Nov. 21st ** Hello again. The latest update released today (v1.6.4) includes the additional predifined complications that you've suggested. I'm also noting down the other suggestions, so stay tuned for future updates as well. Wanted to thank you for helping to make the app that much more comprehensive! Cheers!
Great Watch App
More cumbersome than it needs to be
This app would make more sense if you could see a calendar and tell it that you wore the watch form the last 3, 7, 10, etc. days straight. This app requires too much daily management for simple watch wearing statistics.
Lastly, if you miss your daily app useage of telling it what watch you wore good luck going back and entering that day for your wear statistics. I still can’t figure out how to do that or if it even possible.
Awesome!
Great app!
A nice feature would be able to synchronize with my iPad so I can enter data on either device and have it show upon the other.
Another added feature that would be really, really nice would be to have a daily price update on the pre-owned market. That way one would know how ones watch collection is doing.
Like it!

Thanks for the feedback, We're really happy to hear that you like Watchee and hope you'll like future updates as well. Addition 10th Jan 2024. We have just released the "WatcheePro for iPad" version of the app that is a fully independent version of the app especially tailored for iPad users to better utilise the bigger screens and capabilities of iPad. Also the iPad version will have more features since the iPad devices enable more things to be shown on the screen etc. If you have an iPad, perhaps consider checking it out. Cheers, Anssi
Good app but….

Hi, Regarding the data transfer what one can do currently when upgrading iPhone is simply setup the new iPhone from iCloud backup (a backup which includes the old phone + it's apps + their data) and thus transfer also Watchee app with it's full watch collection to the new iPhone. Also we have added an import option, but that's currently available only for WatcheePro version (where one can import data from Watchee to WatcheePro). You can export your Watchee collection to a CSV file, and then import into WatcheePro. Most data is transferable, except for photos, service information, and accuracy test data. We might also add an import option for regular Watchee with a later update. Hope this helps, Anssi Addition 10th Jan 2024.

Great app!
One question to the developers: Will an upgrade to the new WatcheePro keep my data from Watchee? Thanks and keep up the good work!
Response from developer
Thank you for the feedback, we're really glad to hear that you like Watchee. Regarding your question about WatcheePro, Watchee and WatcheePro are two separate apps that can co-exist on your iPhone. You can export your Watchee collection to a CSV file, and then import into WatcheePro. Most data is transferable, except for photos, service information, and accuracy test data. As a use case example, some users have decided to use Watchee for sold Watches and WatcheePro for active collection, but it's totally up to one's liking. Addition 10th Jan 2024.

Excellent
Excellent App !!!! Deserves 6 stars out of 5!
The developer was very responsive to the comments in my previous review and has enhanced the app. Unfortunately, the app store does not allow a 6 points out 5 points rating, so I will have to just post 5 stars.
The developer just released WatcheePro which has even more features. I have both and they are both excellent apps.

This is an excellent app which deserves 6 star rating out of a possible 5!!! The developer included just about everything a collector needs!!!
....But it needs a safeguard to prevent the user from accidentally deleting an entire watch record with a stray swipe of the finger. It happened to me twice, and is very easy to do by mistake.
Please include a safeguard which would require the user to confirm the they want the record deleted. ...like a pop up menu that asks “are you sure you want to delete this watch record, Y or N?”
Finally, since many of us already have a time grapher, it would be great if you include a section to keep a historical record of each watch’s accuracy, amplitude, beat error, and lift angle. The user would input the data.
Aloha and thank you for an excellent app,
Gil
Happy 😜
More Info
I also have another suggestion for the app that I think users might enjoy. The app keeps track of how often you wear each watch, but I assume it also logs the days that each watch is worn. It would be cool to be able to select a certain date range to see your wear rate per watch during that time period. For example if you’re curious what your most worn watch of the summer was.
One more, one more. If we could do the same as the above, but by day(s) of the week. So I could, for example, choose Saturday and Sunday, and then see my wear rate for only Saturdays and Sundays, to know what my most worn weekend watch it.
Keep up the great work guys. Thanks to this app I finally have my watches organized with all their relevant info.
Update: ok another idea. This is another stupid but fun one, if easy to do. It would be cool if for each watch there was a single page snapshot for it. A 1 page layout that included an image and all relevant info all on one concise page. Just the important stuff. And if you want to make it fun, you can make it look like a basketball card or something.
Great app, needs data share
With so many enthusiasts I wish there was a way for data share and building a database with some AI to pre-populate as much as possible. So many fields could be tied to brand/model or reference. Can usually be done privately to preserve anonymity. This is the killer feature the market is missing.
This app is a must for watch collectors
Great app for cataloging your watches
Useful app, some things missing
Ps I put them here for the developer
- a bug/suggestions button (so I don’t have to come here to point out things!)
- add tungsten to case materials
- add an option to choose which characteristics you care off
- add option for putting lume type and color
- for the movement: great thing would be to have the most common movements to automatically write the characteristics; in any case would be good to have 2 spaces: developer and caliber name

Hi FelixZingst, As a developer I'm delighted to hear that Watchee met your expectations and you seem to like it! As a lifetime watch enthusiast myself it's my goal to further develop the app and listen to the ideas from different watch communities to make it even better and more and more comprehensive over time. I hope you will like the future app updates as well. Cheers and thank you for choosing Watchee, Anssi Addition 10th Jan 2024.
