iOS Timegrapher App

[samsoniteman]

Hi all -
Any recommendations for a decent timegrapher app on iOS that uses the mic to measure? Just looking for a "quick reference" point of course and not expecting actual timegrapher accuracy.

I found an app called "Watch Tuner Timegrapher" for $7.99 on the app store - anyone have experience with it before I pull the trigger? Any other recommendations?
Thanks!

I prefer Timegrapher X which has not failed me since. Obviously use the external mic from a headphone set, not the internal mic.

Set your watch to a reference time and measure it at the same time the next day against the reference time. doesnt cost anything lol.

Ok.. Tried it on 2 of my watches - instant measure is saying +170k secs / day for both
What am I doing wrong lol

I'm using an external mic. Calibration settings dont seem to do anything to help..

How are you using the mic? Are you laying the watch on its caseback on the mic?

Yea I figured it out.. was doing it on a metal surface and I suspect the sensitivity of the mic was picking up vibrations or 'pinging' of the mov't as extra beats to the tune of +170,000+ s / d

Moved it all to a wood table top with a pad and everything measured back to 'normal' specs. Glad to see the reps were all within +/- 10 s/d, some better. My gen 16600 was dead-on at 0 s/d.

I was going to say! I use a microfiber cloth, tends to absorb very well and protects the watch at the same time.
