Oscillo vs SPL Reference

Oscillo is a watch timegrapher for iPhone. Use your iPhone microphone to measure the same metrics a professional watchmaker checks: rate, beat error, and amplitude. No adapters, cables, or expensive equipment. Built for mechanical watch collectors who care about precision. HOW TO MEASURE 1. Place the iPhone microphone flat against the watch crystal or case back. 2. Start recording the tick sounds and wait for the measurement to finish. 3. Review your rate, beat error, and amplitude. KEY FEATURES • Watch Rate Checker — Measure rate (seconds/day), beat error (ms), and amplitude (degrees). Supports the beat rates listed below. • AI Watch Identification — Snap a photo and let AI detect the brand, model, and reference number automatically. • AI-Generated Portraits — Oscillo turns your watch photos into magazine-style cards for your collection. • Collection Management — Browse your watches in grid, full, or list views. Mark watches as favorites, archive them, change their order, and organize your collection. • Measurement History — Detailed charts and trends for every watch, with health badges that help you interpret your measurements. • Precision Tracking — Record manual readings from the dial and follow your watch’s drift over days. Compare observations before and after a regulation or service. • Guided Measurement Cycles — Record timegrapher readings in different watch positions. With Oscillo Pro, complete all six positions and compare results with a saved reference cycle. • Weekly Watch Report — A seven-day summary of your collection: average rate, most-worn watch, best reading, and suggested next actions. • Profile and Wearing Habits — A personal calendar of activity, collection milestones, timing performance, and a heatmap that shows which watches you wear and when. • Reminders — Optional local notifications remind you to log which watch you wore, capture the next precision reading, or open your weekly report. • Offline Access — Your saved collection and measurements are available on your device. Cloud sync and AI features require an internet connection. ACCURACY & ENVIRONMENT • Best results in a quiet room — background noise can affect readings. • Place the case back flat against the microphone for a strong, consistent signal. • If readings seem unstable, move to a quieter space or adjust mic position. • Supported beat rates: 12,000 / 14,400 / 17,280 / 18,000 / 19,800 / 21,600 / 25,200 / 28,800 / 36,000 / 43,200 / 72,000 BPH. DESIGNED FOR COLLECTORS Whether you own one watch or fifty, Oscillo helps you follow changes in each movement’s timing performance over time.

Hear your system. See your room. SPL Reference combines sound-level measurement with Room Map, a new way for Hi-Fi enthusiasts to explore how bass changes across a listening room. Measure at several positions and see areas of relatively high and low sound pressure at the selected frequency, helping you investigate uneven bass and make more informed speaker and listening-position choices. EXPLORE YOUR LISTENING ROOM • Create a rectangular room and follow a guided 9- or 12-point survey, or customise your measurement positions. • Explore frequency-selectable heatmaps with 1/12- or 1/3-octave bands. • Use generated bass pink noise through your playback system, or a stable external pink-noise source. • Review individual points, capture-quality notes and a repeat measurement at the reference position. • Save maps in Sessions, organise them in projects and export the survey data. A COMPANION TO ROOM REFERENCE Use SPL Reference alongside the separately available Room Reference app to add measured spatial bass comparisons to your room investigation. We are working to integrate the two apps; direct integration is not included in this release. MEASURE WITH CONTEXT • Live A-, C- and Z-weighted measurements • Fast, Slow and Impulse time responses • LAeq, LAFmax, LCpeak and time-history views • Pause, resume, event markers and integrity evidence • Clear distinction between indicative readings and reference-calibrated chains ANALYSE AND DOCUMENT • 1/1- and 1/3-octave frequency analysis, spectrum and spectrogram history • Statistical exceedance levels from L1 to L99 • Noise-exposure assessment using NIOSH, OSHA and configurable models • Projects, notes, photographs and optional location evidence • Microphone profiles, acoustic calibration records and drift checks • Professional PDF reports for ordinary sound-level measurements Browse the public measurement archive from inside the app. Measurements are never uploaded automatically. START FREE. UPGRADE ONCE. The free tier includes the built-in microphone, five active measurement minutes per calendar month, two saved measurements and one project. Room Map and advanced features require Lifetime Professional Unlock, which removes the free limits with one purchase and no subscription. Room Map is included for existing Lifetime Professional owners. ABOUT YOUR RESULTS Room maps show the combined response of your speakers and room at one microphone height. Colours compare the selected frequency across measured positions. Uncalibrated maps display relative levels in dBFS. Results depend on the microphone, calibration, playback setup and measurement conditions. SPL Reference distinguishes indicative and calibrated workflows and does not claim that an unvalidated device is a certified sound-level meter. Occupational-noise results support assessment and documentation; they do not replace professional judgement or applicable legal requirements.
