WristLog is a watch collection tracker for people who love watches. Log what you wear every day, measure how accurately each watch runs, and keep every watch, warranty card and service record in one place. LOG WHAT YOU WEAR - Tap a watch to log today's wrist check. Add past days in bulk. - See your rotation on a calendar: most worn, least worn, and the watches you haven't touched in months. - Get a monthly recap of what you wore, ready to share. MEASURE ACCURACY - Built-in timegrapher: hold your mechanical or automatic watch to the phone and read rate, beat error and amplitude. - Log seconds per day against atomic time and follow accuracy over weeks and months. - Add readings from your own timegrapher. - Compare each watch to its movement's spec, with service dates on the same chart. YOUR WATCH COLLECTION - Add unlimited watches with photos, reference, movement and specs. AI fills in the specs from the model name. - Keep a wishlist for your grails. - Sold and archived watches keep their full history. PAPERS AND SERVICE - Store warranty cards, receipts and certificates with each watch. - Log service records with the watchmaker, cost and warranty end date. - Track every other cost too: straps, batteries, repairs. COST PER WEAR (OPTIONAL) - Add purchase and sale prices to see collection value and cost per wear. Off until you turn it on. WATCH DIARY - Write about your watches, with photos. SHARE - Share images of a watch, your whole collection, your monthly recap or an accuracy run. AI INSIGHTS - Get a plain-language read of your accuracy data and a heads-up when a service may be due. THE PLAZA - Find watchmakers, service centers, strap makers and independent brands, reviewed by other collectors. YOUR DATA - Import from a spreadsheet (CSV or Excel) or from other watch apps. - Export to CSV or a full backup at any time. - Lock the app with Face ID or a passcode. - Your collection syncs across your devices. PRICING Try everything free for 30 days. After that, one plan unlocks everything: monthly, yearly or a one-time lifetime purchase. No ads, no tiers, no add-ons.

Finally, one place for your entire watch journey. No more browser tabs. No more screenshots. No more losing track of that perfect piece you found at 2am. ChronoQueue holds every watch you're chasing, the ones you own, the collectors who share your obsession — and now, what's on your wrist today. SAVE ANY WATCH IN SECONDS Found something online? Paste the link. That's it. ChronoQueue pulls in the photos, specs, and details automatically. Works with any site — retailers, marketplaces, auction listings, wherever you're hunting. Spotted one in the wild? Snap a photo and ChronoQueue identifies it for you. NEW: POST A WRIST CHECK Show the community what you're wearing. Post one to five photos of the watch on your wrist, straight from a wear log or from the watch itself. Catch the newest Wrist Checks on Discover from everyone or just the collectors you follow, react with an emoji, and save the posts you want to find again. Own the watch in someone's post? Count yourself in and meet everyone else who wears it. JOIN THE COLLECTOR COMMUNITY See what other collectors are wearing, chasing, and keeping. Browse their collections and Queues, follow the ones whose taste you love, and find new favorites on Discover. Spot something you want? Save it straight to your own Queues. You'll know the moment someone follows you, reacts, or saves one of your watches — and you choose exactly who sees what: everyone, your Mutual Followers, or just you. BUILD YOUR QUEUES Organize every watch you're considering into Queues that actually help you decide. Compare your top contenders side by side. Add notes. Track prices. When you're ready to pull the trigger, you'll know exactly why. Share a Queue with anyone — finally, an answer to "what do you want for your birthday?" CATALOG WHAT YOU OWN Your collection deserves more than a spreadsheet. Store the photos, the specs, the stories. Track estimated values and see your portfolio's total return with Collection Economics — in your own currency, with every purchase converted at the rate from the day you made it. Generate your State of the Collection photos, ready to share to your socials. Then scroll your Collection Timeline and watch your taste evolve, every acquisition and sale laid out on a canvas that's uniquely yours. TRACK WHAT'S ON YOUR WRIST Log your daily wear with a single tap and keep your streak alive. See your habits unfold on a rotation calendar — pick the photo that represents each day — then dig deeper with charts, comfort rankings, and occasion filters in Rotation Insights. Set a daily reminder so you never miss a day. A CLOCK BUILT FOR COLLECTORS Tap the clock for a moon phase that mirrors the real sky, complete with setting instructions for your moonphase complication. Add up to three color-coded GMT hands, picked by city or timezone, read against a 24-hour bezel. --- Built by a collector, for collectors. ChronoQueue exists because nothing else did. No app understood how I actually shop for watches — obsessively researching, endlessly comparing, saving finds from every corner of the internet. So I built the tool I wanted. Thank you to every collector who has joined along the way — your feedback shapes every release. Whether you're chasing your first mechanical or curating a serious collection, your watch journey belongs in one place.
