Watch Tuner Timegrapher vs Tickoprint Usage & Stats

Watch Tuner Timegrapher is an app for testing mechanical watches — both automatic and manual winding. It displays a frequency diagram of your watch and measures the rate, beat error, amplitude, and beats per hour (BPH). The app uses your device’s built-in microphone or a headset mic to record the audible ticks of the watch. For best results, use the app in a quiet environment. Background noise can affect accuracy — complete silence works best, though the built-in noise-cancelling algorithm can filter out minor sounds. The microphone must be in contact with the watch to clearly capture the ticking sound; ideally, place it against the watch’s crown during recording. If you don’t need the frequency diagram, check out the Watch Tuner app. If you only want to measure rate accuracy, try Watch Tuner Lite. If you have any questions, suggestions, or issues using the app, feel free to contact me anytime.

Tickoprint

TICKOPRINT® is a powerful watch analyzing and timing application for all MECHANICAL wrist watch movements. It features an easy-to-use graphical interface which shows the classic “running paper strip” diagram like being performed by professional watch timing machines. TICKOPRINT offers an automatic heart beat detection and checks accuracy, beat error and amplitude* of the movement. TICKOPRINT® is available in English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, Polish, Romanian, Finnish, Japanese and Turkish. TICKOPRINT® comes with an in-built benchmark test to check if your smart phone or tablet CPU is sufficient to run TICKOPRINT®. Sophisticated noise reduction, signal detection and signal computing functions are insuring that TICKOPRINT® can be used with the standard head set supplied with your device. TICKOPRINT® FREE displays the accuracy deviation in seconds/24h and shows the beat error by the gap in the diagram line. A “Tick” simulation with user-selectable values shows the working model of TICKOPRINT. All tests can be stored on the mobile device and can be replayed for checking the test results. The "running paper strip" direction is selectable (horizontally or vertically). TICKOPRINT® PREMIUM offers the numerical display of accuracy plus the beat error in milliseconds and the balance amplitude. It features an additional, highly sophisticated “Trace” diagram which shows the movement ticks in detail and in high resolution. The X- and Y-axis resolution of the TICKOPRINT® “running paper strip” diagram is user-selectable, too. It has an in-built watch database which can hold all important data of a particular watch and is capable of saving remarks regarding the test results. The integration time count for computing the average accuracy deviation is user-selectable within given values. The additional graphical waveform display of the tick noise grants the ability for deeper analysis of the entire escapement system of hard to discover damages like defects of pallet stones etc. It offers extended features for the in-built watch database: the ability to store images of a particular watch and all tests which have been performed for a watch; and to submit a complete watch dossier with test result diagrams and watch images via e-mail. This bunch of highly sophisticated additional features will make TICKOPRINT® Premium being the first-choice tool for watch professionals. TICKOPRINT ®. Precision counts.

To avoid (thankfully rather rare) negative one-star feedbacks: Before using TICKOPRINT please notice that it works with MECHANICAL watch movments only! TICKOPRINT DOES NOT WORK WITH QUARTZ MOVEMENTS! Important notice - connector for external mic We recently have discovered that certain tablets which offer WiFi functionality only (without GSM services) do not have a wired external microphone connector. The commonly used and built-in 3.5 mm RCA connector offers ear phone connectivity only, but it is not possible to use an external microphone on these particular devices as the built-in mic contacts are internally unwired. These particular tablets are not suitable for TICKOPRINT as it mandatory.needs an external mic for operation.
