Accuracy of readings improved drastically, and consistent. Results have been well worth the effort to have this set up. I used an old earphone set’s wire which is light & thin. It took me about 5 min to build the desired contact mic by soldering the wire, and the jack to the disc. Initially I was using the phone’s mic, and worked my way through a dozen different mic set ups, but not satisfied with the results until I spent $4 to purchase a piezo disc or aka buzzers which incident could be found in many household items such as old gaming toys, or smoke alarms. I too like many was interested in the premium version of this app, and dished out the $30 to get it, and installed it on my Samsung Note 3. Please allow me to start by thanking all the feedback on the subject. This entry was posted in Reviews by Christian.

Their web site gives instructions on how to build one, but considering that the software picked up the watch signal, I don’t think I want to go through with the hassle of buying the components and soldering cables.

I exchanged a few emails with Thomas Krim from Tickoprint, but he basically told me that I have to live with having paid £ 8.50 and having pretty incomplete software, and that the performance was due to me not using a dedicated microphone. But according to TickoPrint, the performance is terrible, and as a customer, I will be very dissatisfied with the service my watchmaker gave me. But in reality, the movement is in perfect condition, and doing exactly what it should do. Now if I were a customer of mine, and I’d get back this ETA from a service, and see the above graph, I’d be well miffed with the service I got for my money.

My problem here is that my customers will of course buy this software and use it on their phone – who doesn’t want a timegrapher to check on their watches? Before, I had a beat error of close to -30s/day. But we now see a beat error of 1.0ms, and a very variable beat rate – -1s/day when the photo was taken, but you can see that at that point the graph was quite level. Same movement, a good minute settle down time before taking the screenshot, using the headphone microphone my Samsung Galaxy S3 came with in my very quiet workshop on a Saturday.Īs you can see, the software picks up the watch signal quite well, as there are only a few missing dots. Constant beat rate, constant beat error (of 0 ms). And stable it is – the movement on my Witschi Watch Expert 2. I am using an ETA 2824-2, as I want something with a stable beat error and beat rate. For £ 8.50, I want to see the amplitude, please! They apparently want to release a more expensive version, that will then show the amplitude as well. Quite a lot of money for an app, and quite restricted for that sort of dosh.

Wanting to support the project, I forked out the £ 8.50 for the full version, only to find out that it doesn’t show the amplitude, nor lets you modify the lift angle. I downloaded the basic version, which doesn’t show beat error or amplitude, but just the trace.
