Twelve O’clock is an app that helps track your watch accuracy easily in a realistic way. I can’t stress this enough: it’s “tracking”, not measuring instantaneous accuracy like a timegrapher device. It’s a manual and oldschool job but it brings so much fun. It reminds me of the old days when I had to synchronize my watch to the clock on the TV at 7pm every day. With Twelve O'clock you can: ** MANAGE YOUR WATCH COLLECTION * Add, edit, remove any item in a list of your watch collection * Include a nice wristshot of each watch ** KNOW YOUR WATCH ACCURACY * Simply add some checkpoints and let the app calculate the accuracy in *second per day* * A nice chart of the accuracy over the time ** LEARN MORE ABOUT HOROLOGY * Curated content for watch lovers (like me)

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Twelve O'clock at 91% against PRO TREK Connected's 48%. Twelve O'clock also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). PRO TREK Connected's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and rating (4.6 vs 4.4). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
