#Watch timegrapher app for android full version#

If I were working on several watches a day, I would probably get a dedicated watch timer. It is also the only one I found (at this price point) that measures amplitude.ДЇor the price, I think this is a good app for the occasional watch work that I do. There are cheaper versions that exclude the graphing and other features, but I have found the graph to be essential in diagnosing escapement issues.

I bought the full version at $12.99 which is a fortune as far as smart phone apps go.

A watch that timed out at +10 sec/day actually ran within a few seconds of that over a 24 hour period. I have not been able to get it to pick up the ticking of a new Seiko watch (SARB033, 6R15 movement), but to be honest, I cannot hear it tick either unless it is pressed against my ear and the room is dead quite! This might be a concern if you will be working on these types of watches. Vintage watches that do not tick as loudly require a little fiddling with the settings. It easily picks up pocket watch and clock platform escapements. It will pick up surrounding noise so sometimes a little 'soundproofing' is needed such as wrapping a towel around the watch and phone. There are sensitivity and noise filtering settings that seem effective at getting a good signal. So far, I have had the best luck using the built in microphone and just place the watch very close but not touching the bottom end of the phone.

You can use the built in microphone or the microphone in the ear buds. I have been using the Watch Tuner Timegrapher app for the iPhone and have been impressed with it so far.
