régulateur vs ChronoLog

Régulateur includes several features that make it a great tool for while setting your watch or clock. A second time zone can be set and stored in the app for setting your GMT watches. The current moon phase is displayed for setting your annual calendar timepiece. For perpetual calendars the app displays the month, date, day, and even the time in the leap year cycle.

ChronoLog — Watch Accuracy Tracker & Audio Timegrapher for Mechanical Watches Track the accuracy of your mechanical watches with professional-grade tools. ChronoLog combines an audio timegrapher, offset measurement logging, and atomic time synchronization into one app — purpose-built for watch collectors and horology enthusiasts who care about precision. No subscription. No account. One-time purchase unlocks everything. MEASURE WATCH ACCURACY — THREE WAYS • Audio Timegrapher: Use your device's microphone to listen to your watch's tick and measure rate (seconds per day), beat error, and amplitude — the same metrics a professional timegrapher provides. • Photo Offset: Photograph your watch dial against atomic time, enter the displayed time, and ChronoLog calculates the exact offset. The most precise manual method for measuring watch accuracy. • Tap Timing: Tap when your watch hits a specific second to quickly log an offset. Fast, simple, and works with any watch. TRACK ACCURACY OVER TIME Each measurement is logged to a timing run — a series of readings that ChronoLog analyzes together. Monitor your watch's daily rate, see how accuracy changes day to day, and spot regulation issues before they become problems. Tag measurements with conditions like position, temperature, or wear pattern to understand what affects your watch's performance. ATOMIC TIME SYNCHRONIZATION ChronoLog syncs with NTP atomic time servers so every measurement is referenced against true time — not your phone's clock. View the live atomic time, compare it to your device, and use it as a precision reference when setting your watches. DETAILED ANALYTICS & VISUALIZATIONS Dive into performance graphs that show rate trends, offset history, and accuracy patterns across your entire collection. See at a glance which watches in your collection are your most accurate daily wearers and which need regulation or service.
