Need to know what time it is in Eorzea? Look no further! Eorzean Watch calculates what time it is in Final Fantasy XIV no matter where you are or what server your character is on. Always in sync!

Eorzean Watch includes information on all unspoiled, ephemeral, and legendary nodes. Any gathering item with a time requirement. Select which item you're interested in on the tables and they will appear, in time order, on the time page and will let you know if and when they are next active!

Eorzean Watch will notify you of a tracked item coming up even if you're outside of the app! (no internet connection needed!) Never miss an unspoiled node or fishing window again!

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Eorzean Watch at none against MapGenie's shown. Eorzean Watch also leads on review sentiment (87% vs 56%) and update cadence (every 4 months vs every 26 months). MapGenie's advantage is ratings volume (2.6K vs 24). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Eorzean Watch sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and MapGenie sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Eorzean Watch against 4.8 for MapGenie. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MapGenie has 2.6K ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 87% of Eorzean Watch's written reviews are positive against 56% of MapGenie's.
Eorzean Watch ships an update every 4 months, MapGenie every 26 months. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
