The pleasure of knowing

From “a little fast”
to a clearer picture.

A few seconds can tell you a lot. Build a simple record of how your watch keeps time, without turning it into a chore.

01

Start with a reference

Check network time and see whether the reference is fresh. Choose the analog dial or digital display that feels right.

02

Capture your watch

Record what your watch shows. The app keeps that reading alongside its reference, ready for your next comparison.

03

Discover its daily rate

Return at least 24 hours later. Your second qualifying reading reveals the estimated seconds gained or lost per day.

Small details. A lasting story.

More than
a number.

See your watch’s estimated daily rate in plain language. Keep readings, notes and separate measurement runs together, so every check adds context.

Your first daily result is free to see and keep. Tap timing and network conditions affect the estimate.

Before your first reading

A few good
questions.

What can I use for free?

The reference clock, analog and digital faces, and watch-setting guide are free. You can record the first two qualifying readings for one watch, at least 24 hours apart, and see its first estimated daily rate.

What does the one-time unlock add?

Continued readings, new measurement runs and additional timepieces. There is no recurring subscription. The App Store purchase sheet shows the price in your region before you buy.

Does the app measure my watch automatically?

You record what your watch shows against a network time reference. Take another reading at least 24 hours later to estimate how many seconds it gains or loses per day. Tap timing and network conditions affect the estimate.

Can I switch between analog and digital?

Yes. Both faces are included. Choose local time or UTC, and use the light, dark or system appearance.

Do I need an account?

No. Your watches, readings and notes are stored on your device. You can export a backup or CSV and choose optional local reminders. There are no ads or product analytics.
