Description

Watch Tuner is a mechanical and automatic watch testing application designed to measure following parameters:
- rate
- beat error
- amplitude
- beats per hour
The application uses the build-in or headset microphone to record audible ticks of the watch.

You can measure now with your iPhone the quality and stability of the rate accuracy, amplitude and beat error of mechanical watch movements. You can also take advantage of results history.

Use in a quiet environment. Any ambient noises can affect result accuracy. Complete silence is the best.

Recommended way to record the ticks is to touch the crown of the watch with the headset microphone. You will get the best results using original Apple EarPods.

If you don't need such advanced tool as Watch Tuner and all you need is to the check rate accuracy, maybe it's worth to try Watch Tuner Lite - a little brother of Watch Tuner application.
If you need frequency diagram look at Watch Tuner Timegrapher - the most sophisticated app of Watch Tuner series.

Works very well

Some experimentation will be needed to get the phone to best be able to hear the watch, i touched the crown to the phone mic, but once that is figured out it will read sufficiently well enough to get your watch regulated. Mine was slowing several mins daily and the beat error was hight (it gets roughed up). Now it is +/- negligible. Pretty surprised at the apps utility and effectiveness.

Quick and easy

I just strap on the watch then slide the wired EarPod microphone between watch and my wrist. This gives instant readings of rate with my arm in each position - as if walking, reading, driving, typing.

For what it’s worth, it works

If you just want to regulate a fast or slow watch, it’ll help. The readings can be inconsistent, definitely to do multiple tests to see if the app is reading correctly.

Use the mic on Apple EarPods headphone. The developers must have tuned the app for the Apple EarPods mic specifically. It did not pick up my lav mic at all, even when the mic was placed directly on the movement. Switched over to the EarPods and it started reading immediately.

Best results came from opening the case, and laying the mic directly on top of the movement.

Accuracy? Not sure, as I don’t have a timegrapher. From watching comparisons, seems to be in the range of the real thing. Probably say you’d want to add +/- 3-8 seconds to any reading.

In the end, it helped regulate a 1971 movement to within +/- 1.2 seconds (probably +/- 5-10 sec on a timegrapher) and now the watch actually keeps decent time.
