Know your collection. Timepiece Tracker is a complete home for the watches you own, the ones you're chasing, and everything you want to remember about both. Built for collectors who care about the details — reference numbers, service intervals, daily rate, cost per wear — not just a list of names. EVERY WATCH, FULLY DOCUMENTED Log brand, model, reference, movement, case size, materials, and the story behind each piece. Add photos, purchase price and date, and box-and-papers status. A built-in watch catalog speeds up entry, and you can import an existing collection instead of starting from scratch. TRACK WHAT YOU ACTUALLY WEAR One tap logs a wear. Build streaks, see a heat strip of your rotation at a glance, and browse a full wear-history calendar with bulk entry for the days you forgot. Cost per wear turns every purchase into a real number. Wrist Recap sums up your year. Set an optional daily reminder at the time that suits you. MEASURE ACCURACY LIKE A WATCHMAKER Set your watch against a reference clock with countdown beeps, then measure the drift days later. Timepiece Tracker charts seconds-per-day over time so you can see when a movement is settling in — or when it's time for service. SERVICE HISTORY AND REMINDERS Record every service, its cost, and who did the work. Get reminded before the next interval comes due, so nothing sits neglected in a drawer. VALUE AND INSIGHTS Follow your portfolio's value over time, see your top holdings, and break your collection down by brand, movement, or era. Market value estimates keep your numbers current. Rotation coverage shows which watches are pulling their weight — and which are dead capital. INSURANCE-READY REPORTS Export a clean PDF of your collection with photos, specs, purchase details, and current values — the document your insurer or appraiser actually asks for. A GRAIL WISHLIST THAT WATCHES FOR YOU Save the pieces you're hunting and get a daily digest of new eBay listings by push notification and email. Stop refreshing search pages. STRAPS AND COMBINATIONS Catalog your straps and bracelets, track lug widths, and see which straps fit which watches. ACHIEVEMENTS AND GOALS Earn badges as your collection grows — from your first automatic to the Holy Trinity — and set goals for the pieces and habits you're working toward. SHARE WITH COLLECTORS Build a public profile, follow other collectors, and join groups to see what's on other people's wrists. WORKS OFFLINE, NO ACCOUNT REQUIRED Your collection lives on your device and works fully signed out. Create an account only if you want cloud sync, wishlist alerts, or a public profile. PREMIUM Timepiece Tracker Premium unlocks value-history charts, insurance PDF export, bulk market valuations, up to 5 photos per watch, ad-free clean share cards, cloud sync and backup, and unlimited wishlist alerts and market valuations. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in your account settings.
