Your Watches Have Stories. Time to Tell Them. Remember that feeling when your mechanical watch runs ±0 seconds after a month? Or when you realize you haven't worn your Speedy in 6 months? Yeah, I get it. That's why I built WristLog. ACCURACY OBSESSED? SAME. Finally prove your watch really does run +2 seconds per day. Track it daily, weekly, or whenever you remember.

Lumed — Watch Collection Tracker Lumed is a simple, thoughtful way to track your watch collection. Log which watch you're wearing each day, keep photos and notes for every piece, and see your habits take shape over time. Lumed also tracks accuracy the way you actually wear your watches. Instead of a one-off timing session, you check in when you put a watch on and/or when you take it off, and Lumed builds a drift history from real wear. You'll know whether a watch is running inside spec, and spot the moment it starts drifting outside that spec. Track your collection — Log daily wear in seconds, or fill in several days at once — Photo gallery and notes for every watch — Collection stats: total value, most-worn pieces, recent activity — A two-week wear strip on each watch, at a glance — Wish list for the watches you're still hunting — Home screen widgets to log a wear or check the time fast — Export and restore your whole collection as a single file Track accuracy — Check in when you wear a watch to measure drift against an accurate reference clock — See rate history between wears and catch a movement going out of spec — Set per-watch tolerances so you know what "normal" looks like for each piece Chronometer — one-time purchase, no subscription — AI Detail-fill: paste a product link or type a brand and model, and Lumed fills in specs, photo, and estimated value — Identify a watch from a photo of the dial — Unlimited accuracy history and drift trends — Wear reminders and power reserve alerts — Private iCloud sync across your devices — Web companion at lumed.app Your collection stays on your device and syncs only to your own private iCloud account. No ads, no tracking, no account required. No clutter. No subscriptions. Just your watches.
