I've been infiltrating a fee threads about cotta in models with pictures from one of my favourite apps which times your watch using the atomic clock and a record of what time your watch was showing x hours ago.
I thought rather than carry on putting them everywhere, I'd create a thread where we could share such pics. Sad I know, but hey. Im an anorak. I conduct a brass band FFS!
Anyway, here's my late a ones.
How are yours doing?
The app in using is called Twixt.

I'm guessing Twixt is not an Android app
It's a good app... I like it!
OOH! I like this app Is there an android version available?
There is a similar app for Android.Originally Posted by 72bpm

I've used it in the past. Works ok, not excellent because of some focusing issues.
But give it a go. It might work on your device.

But are you happy with that level of accuracy mate :-)Parmigiani Kalpagraph

Thanks! Will give it a go
I don't care TBH James The nearest ten minutes will do for me.
Use >>>THIS<<< .
Nothing extra really that this "Twixt" can offer as long as you have a piece of paper and pen and the willingness to scribble for a few seconds each dayI normally go further down the road with mine for a more "fair" result, as in at least a week.
Latest I checked was this one (excuse the crappy iphone pic) and it was +14-15 after 1 week. Can't fault that...
I always found that android one flakey and inaccurate. I've had better success with watchcheck - https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...ler.watchcheck
But hey, they're both free so no reason not to give both a go.
However I too prefer to just check it against http://time.is regularly. That way you know the data you're checking against is accurate.

Just checked my mkii kingston, -1 sec, after 5 days wear (So an average of -0.2spd) Not to shabby i guess... ;)
Amazing that is !
Within COSC
So this app really works? Found some conflicting reviews. Can you monitor more than one watch at the same time?
The best I could do. It is old.
Best wishes,

Is there a Windows Phone-suitable App?
I've been checking against the GMT website on my new Fortis - it seems to have gained less than a second in 3 weeks...... :o
Might need to do something a bit more scientific to confirm
- to be fair, I could well believe its "accuracy" (relative accuracy). I have had half a dozen Fortis from new and every one of them ran well within COSC (although they are not sold as COSC)

1969 Speedy .....just back............not bad for a 45 year old
Only over 10 hours...... But not bad
Congrats! Which app is that?
Twixt
Thanks, screen looked different :-) only see one app review that is pretty old so must have improved with recent updates.
Good Ap' this. Loads of fun.
I hadnt even thought there might be an app for this!
Just installed the Android one so I'll see how my Sinn 556 gets on over the next few days.
Cant get it to work on my GW-6900.
Very interesting app - think I will try it out too!
LOL :D
Well done gents. Keep em coming!
May need some work this one!
I've been timing mine against the pips on Radio4 for the last two weeks and have calculated an average of just under -9secs per day. I just did a quick check with this Ap and the result was -8.8secs per day. Pretty accurate!!
Thanks for checking that!
I bet there is no Windows Phone version...
I've booked one of mine in for a service after using this! It's all over the place!
no photos but my omega 8500 has lost 10 seconds since 28 December......
Is this Twixt or another app? I can't get mine to display like that.
It's from Twixt. Once you have enough measurements/photos, go to the main display, hit "edit" and then click the "i" icon near the specific watch you want to look at. Then hit the home+power button (iOS) to do a screen grab
Much obliged. Thanks.
2013?
I'd like to know if these watches are being worn 24/7 or being placed in various positions overnight to enhance timekeeping. I wear mine in rotation and know how much they gain or lose, so when a watch comes out of the box I set it fast or slow so that it's about bang on after 2 weeks and then drifts off again. I always know approx. how much off a watch is and that's good enough for my needs. My most accurate is my 1984 Datejust at less than +1 sec per 24hrs, my least is my DC56 at approx -4secs per 24hrs. My DA37 loses 2secs, Voyager +3secs, PRS5 Broadarrow +1sec (with a daily wind to full), Everest +1.5secs, all per 24hrs and all worn 24/7.
F.T.F.A.
My PO was on for 2 days straight with those measurements. I think testing should be done over at least a 1 week period if one wants to get a slightly more accurate timekeeping assessment.
Talk about having a senior blond moment, I downloaded the app took a photo of my GS SBGR051, I planed waiting 24-hours to see the results. However, what did I do last night? I went to the London Time site and reset my watch
Looking on the bright side, I was in the jewellers yesterday and Stephen put my watch on his timing tester, the result was -2s a day, which made me a happy camper.
Not used App, but measured my 2007 Speedy co-axial over the past 43 days at +2.86 secs/day. I think that's pretty damned good!
Bit better now.
Looking forward to getting it serviced. Great watch.
I might get it...but I recon its a great way to become less satisfied with my watches. I will want them all spot on...
My Sarb035 is now my only watch and I wear it pretty much all the time during the day and at night it sits dial up on table. It's settled into consitsantly loosing just under 9 seconds per day. Is there a way to improve accuracy when storing off wrist without a winder?
The older Rolex models came with a note that basically said: to gain time, store that watch horizontally with its face up, to lose a little time, store it vertically with the crown down, and to lose a lot, vertically with the crown up, IF I RECALL CORRECTLY.
