If the quality is above 80%, the values should be fairly reliable. If the quality is below 80% you will likely get bad data and should retry in a quieter room or with higher or lower sensitivity. This number is a representation of how well the app is hearing your watch. Note the quality parameter just to the right of rate. If the watch was slow, this number would be a negative value. The image above shows the watch running very slightly fast – approximately +1.2 seconds/day. In the upper left corner of the screen is the measured rate of the watch. After getting the samples field to increment steadily, the app will collect data for a few seconds and then begin displaying data. Try moving to a quieter environment or adjust the sensitivity up slightly. If it doesn’t advance or if the numbers turn red, the application isn’t getting a good signal. You should see this number increase steadily for each tick. When you press Start, the samples counter starts incrementing (right side of the screen). If the watch was running slow, the dots would wrap downward. It’s a little hard to see because this watch is fairly poorly adjusted (running about 90 seconds/day fast), but the dots are rising as the graph moves to the right and wrap around the graph from the top to the bottom over and over. They represent every tick and tock of the watch. Place the watch as close to your phone’s microphone a possible and start the capture. For best results, take your phone and your watch to a quiet room and remove the back cover. because of this it is sensitive to the background noise in your room, including other clock or watches. WatchTuner uses your phone’s microphone to listen to the escapement. It is moderately priced, performs auto beat detection, and pretty much just works. I have had good luck with the app WatchTuner Timegrapher, which is available for iPhones from the Apple App Store. Dedicated timing machines can be very expensive, however there are Smartphone apps that are very effective and cost only a few dollars. To get a more immediate answer, you can use a watch timing machine or computer or mobile phone software. You can observe the rate of your watch over hours or days to determine how accurately it is keeping time, but that takes a very long time. Older pocket watches (mostly European watches before 1870 or so) operated at 14,400bph, and modern watches typically operate at 28,800bph or even 36,000bph. The vast majority of pocket watches operate at 18,000bph, which translates to 5 “ticks” per second.

Great information on Timegrapher Errors and Dynamic Poising Some information is outdated like the use of gasoline for cleaning, but there is still a lot of great information.
