Timekeeping software
« on: October 23, 2013, 06:54:15 PM »
Not sure which section of the forums this is suited for so MODs please move if needed.

I'm using WatchCheck to check how my watches are keeping time. Pretty easy to use and simple results.

Anyone have other suggestions?

That's only to set your watch.

I'm referring to software that can track how much a watch is gaining or losing a day over a long period.

How well does Kello pick up the beats? It's not free and I hate paying for unusable software. I tried WildSpectra (free) before and it won't pick up anything from my ROO, not that I knew how to use all the different settings to make it work.

Works on all my watches so far. Auto detects frequency then displays +/- x secs a day. Needs a little tweaking to get right positioning. I use blue tack to ensure mic in position and place watch on a soft surface like a pillow. Works like a charm just using standard iphone earbud mic.

PS And a quiet room

I couldnt get it to work either! Following the video guide, I am pretty sure my settings were correct but very difficult to the the software to 'settle' down to give me the time results.

I used my ETA based watch which is considerably loud in a room without air con or fan but still couldnt work.

I too was hoping for some guidance from other forummers  :)

I will try the new app Watch Accuracy soon... hope this will give me better results.  :Cheers:
