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.

Thank you for the feedback, we are very happy to hear that you like Watchee and we hope that you will like the future updates as well.
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).
Response from developer
Thanks for the review! For Watchee, when you switch to a new device, the whole collection gets copied to the new device if you set up the new device from an iCloud backup (it will restore all the apps and their data, Watchee collection along with it). Another option (for WatcheePro only) is to do an import of watches from an export file that can be taken from Watchee or WatcheePro. It will transfer most of the data (not images and such). I hope this explains it. It was an early design choice of Watchee that the collection always sits 100% on the user's device. This way the app will continue to fully work even if the network on the device is down.
Great app for tracking your watch collection!

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! 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 utilize 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
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.

Great Watch App
Response from developer
Thanks for the feedback, we're happy to hear you seem to like Watchee. Regarding the daily reminder, you can actually activate it within the app on the settings tab by enabling the "Wear notifications" switch. Watchee (regular version) does not allow tracking of Lift Angle, but that can be tracked with the WatcheePro App (separate app). WatcheePro also allows one to store timegrapher measurements (user has to have an external device to do the actual measurements) for each watch in six positions and it calculates their averages and deltas for rate, amplitude and beat errors.

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.
Response from developer
Thanks for the feedback. If you forget to mark a particular watch as being used i.e. on a vacation, you can simply go to watch details, tap the "reset/adjust wear-stats" and i.e. increase the count by 7 for a full week. Simple as that, hope this helps.
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.

Good app but….
Response from developer
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 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.
———————————
09/19/2020 review:
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
Response from developer
Hi Gil, Many thanks for choosing Watchee and taking the time to review it. I'm very glad to hear that you like the app. Regarding those suggestions the safeguard is definitely going to the high-priority list, so it should happen in the following updates. The time grapher thing is actually something that has been thought already and I certainly see a place for it also. Stay tuned and I hope you will like the future updates as well (the app is often updated based on reviews just like yours and by the fact that the developer is an active watch enthusiast himself). Once again I wish to thank you for the suggestions :) Cheers from Helsinki, Anssi Edit. 10th October. The safe guard suggested is now within the app with the release v.2.0.4. Many thanks for the great suggestion :)
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.
Response from developer
Hi BarneySakhai, First, let me thank you for choosing the Watchee app. I'm delighted to hear that you like it. Next, about your suggestion, I think it's just wonderful! I really like the idea of showing the "cost per wear", it sure can be a valuable thing for many users of the app to be able to discover. This one will definitely go to the top of development list for Watchee, Many thanks for the great suggestion, which will definitely make the app just that much better when the feature is implemented. I wish you a very happy 2020! Edit. Jan 19th. Your suggestion for the "cost per wear -functionality" a little over a week ago is now available with the v1.7.3 update of the app. Again, many thanks for this great suggestion, I find myself liking it a lot! Edit. Jun 15th. Thank you again for a wonderful suggestion. The specific date range for the wear rate is unfortunately not easy to do with the current implementation. If there will ever be a "Watchee Pro", this would definitely need to be there! Many thanks for the great suggestion though and I hope you still enjoy using Watchee. Cheers, Anssi Edit. Jul. 11th. What a wonderful idea, I really like it. Right now there are some other things under the development queue for Watchee, but I will certainly add this to my todo-list! Love the idea.

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.
Response from developer
Hi!, Thank you for choosing Watchee and also reviewing it. I understand the point about automation for pre-population of watch data and this is something that might just happen later. Certainly it's a huge topic and would be very cool to have also that kind of functionality. Cheers, Anssi

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
