R code for visualizing changes in rates over several rounds of watch adjusting


Recommended Posts

Adjusting a watch to positions usually involves several rounds of tweaking and tinkering, and I've been interested in different ways of measuring my progress and visualizing how the rates converge.

I have been dabbling with R code to visualize how the rates in the 6 positions change after each round of adjusting. I suspect there are a few "data science" types on this board, so I'm pasting the code at the end. If you use R, it is easy to input your own rates.

It yields the attached charts. One shows each round as a line.

Another highlights each position.

And a third highlights each round, marking the average rate and standard deviation of the 6 rates for each round.

These are a first pass, so feedback and suggestions from fellow RStudio nerds are much appreciated.

# start #

library(tidyverse)
library(cowplot)
library(extrafont)
library(ggpubr)
library(paletteer)

# enter the timing results from each round of adjusting----
Positions<-c("Dial UP","Dial DOWN","P UP","P LEFT","P DOWN","P RIGHT")
t0<-c(22,22,56,48,0,-15)
t1<-c(-23,-23,-5,-3,-44,-47)
t2<-c(4,4,-4,13,5,-3)
t3<-c(1,1,0,-1,0,1)

# wrangle to proper form for plotting----
df<-data.frame(cbind(Positions,t0,t1,t2,t3)) %>%
  pivot_longer(t0:t3, names_to = "Round", values_to = "Rate")
df$Rate<-as.numeric(df$Rate)

# plots----
chart<-ggline(df, x="Positions", y="Rate",
             group.by = "Round", color="Round",
             plot_type = "b", point.size = 2.5,
             xlab = "Position",
             ylab = "Rate",
             palette = paletteer_d("ghibli::PonyoMedium", direction=1))+
  theme_minimal_hgrid(font_size=12, font_family = "Bahnschrift")
chart

facet_plot<-ggline(df, x="Round", y="Rate",
              color="Round",
              plot_type = "b", point.size = 2,
              facet.by = "Positions",
              xlab = "Adjusting Round",
              ylab = "Rate",
              palette = paletteer_d("ghibli::PonyoMedium", direction=1))+
  theme_minimal_hgrid(font_size=12, font_family = "Bahnschrift")+
  theme(legend.position = "none")
facet_plot

dots<-ggdotplot(df, x = "Round", y = "Rate",
                add = "mean_sd", color = "Round",
                plot_type = "b", point.size = 2,
                xlab = "Round of Adjusting",
                ylab = "Rate",
                palette = paletteer_d("ghibli::PonyoMedium", direction=1))+
  theme_minimal_hgrid(font_size=12, font_family = "Bahnschrift")+
  theme(legend.position = "none")
dots  

# print plots----
png(filename = "lines.png", width = 6, height = 2, units = "in", res = 200)
chart
dev.off()

png(filename = "facet.png", width = 6, height = 4, units = "in", res = 200)
facet_plot
dev.off()

png(filename = "dots.png",  width = 4, height = 3, units = "in", res = 200)
dots
dev.off()

# END

    • The plate is OK, thanks. It seems the answer to my question is that this is a 'hack' & for me another reminder that in general, one won't be the first person to be tinkering with an old timepiece!. As you day, I've been fortunate to have gotten some good advice and, just as important, encouragement. I've been lucky then not to have the balance spring break as a result of my novice 'ministrations' - but I did remember to 'stroke' rather than bend per se. The clock is of sentimental value to the owner so I'm relieved to have now got it running to time with the support & encourage of forum members like yourself.
    • Thanks ww, its maybe not as much of a bodge trick that i thought it was. 
    • Thank you for your introduction and welcome to this friendly forum. We all look forward to your contributions and continued involvement.  It would be nice if you told us a little about yourself.
    • Thank you for your introduction and welcome to this friendly forum. We all look forward to your contributions and continued involvement.  Can we help with what you are trying to  figure out? 
    • In think you are effectively shortening the coil by shorting out damaged tracks. In my case as long as the continuity was good and the resistance not too greatly affected it should be ok .  One was on an era  movement,
