1. 5/5Definitely a worthwhile app

   I was hesitant to purchase this app given it’s been 3 years since it’s last update. I didn’t want to purchase another orphaned app with no support or updates, so I reached out to the developer prior to purchasing to express my concerns. I was pleasantly surprised to receive a prompt response from the developer who assured me the app is fully supported having a full feature set meeting the needs of his user base. He also stated in the event a future iOS update caused any issues he would promptly address any problems that arose. He also hinted some small enhancements may be coming in the future. Based upon this exchange I purchased the app and while I’ve only been using it a couple of days I can confirm it’s definitely more effective and streamlined than the timing method I’d been using. WatchTracker’s definitely a worthwhile purchase for anyone looking to better understand how the watches in their collection are performing. I’m looking forward to any future updates the developer may have in mind.

2. 1/5Erratic

   Impossible to consistently click the screen at the right time and get accurate results. I have my watch set to be exactly the same as the clock on the iPhone. The seconds hands are in sync. Sometimes the app says my watch is fast and sometimes it says it’s slow, but this is because of when I’m clicking the screen and is not a measure of the accuracy of my watch. I also wonder if there’s a bug in the way things are calculated. For example after a few days of doing periodic time checks the app says my watch is -1.8 spd. It also says my iPhones clock is .068 seconds slow. However the seconds hand on my watch and the iPhone clocks seconds hands are still 100% synched up. How does -1.8 spd make any sense? It doesn’t. I can’t remember how much I bought this app for or if it was free but it’s being removed from my phone. If I’m ever worried my watch isnt keeping time I’ll buy a timeographer. As it is I know it’s very accurate as it’s keeping the same time as the iPhones clock, down to the second.

3. 5/5Still the Best After All These Years

   I’ve used this app for many years. The last review I wrote—also many years ago—no longer appears on the review list. I actually love this app so much that I’m writing another review to compliment the developer and to explain why some reviewers, although in small numbers, may have found the app inaccurate or hard to use. This app is not a timegrapher that gives instant readings on your watch’s rate. Instead, it collects data points by having you match your watch’s time to the app’s time (or atomic time). Using at least two reference points, the app then calculates, graphs, and tracks your watch’s rate. You can start a new time run anytime you adjust your watch, and you can also track multiple watches with the app. The only real requirement for accuracy is having quick reflexes—because you need to tap the screen when your watch shows the exact time displayed on the app. If you can’t tap within about 0.2 to 0.5 seconds of the shown time, the results might not be as accurate or meaningful. Whether you’re a casual collector or a serious watch enthusiast, this app is a must-have if you care about tracking your watch’s accuracy over time. It’s easy to use and gives you detailed insights into how fast or slow your watch is running—something any watch lover will appreciate.

4. 5/5Solid App

   Well-designed, just like my watch :) This app omits questionable features such as ‘magnetism detection’ or calculations made from audio recordings of your watch. Instead, I would call this app a (very user-friendly) specialized calculator. The time source it synchronizes with is quite good. Although a spreadsheet is capable of doing the same math, this app is worth the money (in my opinion) because of a specific feature: a button that will instantly record atomic time when pressed. Pressing this button also simultaneously records a predetermined hh:mm:ss. The user plugs in some time in the near future and presses the button when their watch reaches that time. Therefore, each data point contains two pieces of information from that instant: standard time and your watch’s time. This operation would be difficult to perform without a specialized program. Another method might be to use a high-speed camera that takes a picture of the watch next to some time standard. However, processing this data would require more time as the watch reading would need to be interpreted from a picture. I like this app because you can press a button and then bam, it’s done and it’s even calculated averages including all your previous data points :) very well done app

5. 5/5Very useful tool

   I have been using WatchTracker for a few months now, and find it to be a valuable tool for tracking the accuracy of both mechanical and quartz watches. Particularly in the case of mechanical watches, being able to spot and document a change in accuracy can be helpful in spotting and perhaps even diagnosing problems. I have recorded accuracy data for multiple watches, sometimes with very surprising results. This app has helped to identify some really surprisingly accurate watches as well as to demonstrate a need for service for other watches. This type of app, which merely records user-input data points, does not carry the same risk of magnetizing a watch that a timegrapher app would carry. I highly recommend this app for anyone who wears or collects mechanical watches.
