Features & Capabilities

Watch Tuner Timegrapher is a Chrome extension that helps you test mechanical watches (automatic and manual wind) by recording the ticking sound with your device's microphone. It displays a frequency diagram and measures rate, beat error, amplitude, and BPH, providing a clear view of your watch's timing.

Best results come from a quiet environment, with the microphone in contact with the watch (ideally against the crown). If you don’t need the diagram, try the Watch Tuner app or Watch Tuner Lite for rate-only measurements. For questions or issues, please contact me.

User Reviews

Overall, the app is an affordable, useful at-home tool for measuring and regulating mechanical watches, with clear charts and broad mic compatibility. When conditions are right, it yields accurate beat error and rate readings and can save money over a dedicated timegrapher. However, results are inconsistent across watches and setups, it requires deliberate tweaking and a quiet environment, auto-detect is unreliable, and history/export features are limited.

Pros

Great value for money and affordable compared to a dedicated timegrapher.
Useful for at-home regulation of mechanical watches; can save time and money.
Works with common hardware (phone mic and wired EarPods) to produce usable measurements.
Clear, readable charts that quickly convey amplitude, beat error, and rate.
Relatively intuitive to use after initial setup; many users report good results once configured.

Cons

Readings can be inconsistent across watches and highly sensitive to microphone placement.
Requires experimentation and tweaking of settings; not plug-and-play.
Performance depends on ambient noise and hardware quality; needs a quiet environment or muffling.
Auto-detect mode is not reliably robust; manual mode is often required.
Limited history storage (about 16 records) and no easy way to share/export graphs or data.

This has helped me tremendously see the health of vintage Omega watches. It is extremely sensitive data-in, so a quiet space is necessary. It has never failed me and remains a great tool for all watches, not just vintage. It continues to blow my mind with how accurate the amplitude is as well.

Certainly a dynamic app. Has all the features of a professional watch grapher. It does take a little manipulation of the settings to gather data. I am having a little trouble in auto detect mode. If you enter a manual mode rate first and then switch back to auto detect, it recognizes the bph. One request would be an audible ticking as that would put it on par with the professional models. Worth the investment, thanks.

The detection algorithms seem to work well. Depending on the watch, I had to play a bit among the three algorithms, but so far so good. I was able to measure every watch I tried. Can we please add a “monitoring” function to route the post-processed audio signal to the audio playback device? (Similar to the app Garage Band). This would allow us to use the audio output to optimize mic placement before measuring. Also it would allow the user to hear the ticks while taking the measurements.
