I have not had any experience, but it looks very interesting, there are other similar systems available on the market but at 99 euros this seems to be the cheapest. I have used Wildspectra which is very good on my Sony Experia but has to be used in a quite environment because it rely's on the phones microphone. My other half has been asking what I want for Christmas so I may put this on the Santa list but I would want to know if it measures beat error and amplitude first.

Dear Sir,

 

Thank you for your email. We sincerely apologize for our late reply.

 

We confirm that the Analytics measures the accuracy of your timepiece. It measure the "beat error", as you reffered to it, of your watch.

 

Thank you 

 

Best regards

hey! we're twins! this is exactly what i do. you're right - it has to be as silent as a graveyard. what i do is place the watch on my bed with either the covers or a pillow around it to muffle any ambient sound. i'll let the watch settle down on it's own and after a while sneak up on it to see how it's doing. it's a rather time consuming method, but i does work.

i accidently deleted the app recently. i did reload it, but i forgot all of my settings so i haven't set it up yet.

      Part swapper to part maker

      By Jon · Posted

      I would use some binding wire around the part before heating it. It protects the steel from being burned. I know that sounds strange, as you're going to heat it with a blowtorch, but if a part is thin and delicate the steel can literally burn away before your eyes, which isn't funny if you've put hours into the job. I bought some tools steel from Cousins a few years ago which turned out not to be tool steel, because it couldn't be hardened or tempered. I wasn't impressed, as I had spent two hours making the part for it to be useless.

      Questions about my Bravingtons Renown Mantel Clock

      By watchweasol · Posted

      Hi that’s what was meant by animal glue “ a glue made from animal products”. Ie bone , skin and other animal residues.  There was a place at Huntington YORK who used to boil down the ingredients. It stunk.   We used it in pellet form in a sort of Bain Marie on a gas ring  it was very good, didn’t think it was around any more with the modern glues,

      Balance cock stud screw

      By Zedster · Posted

      It's back to the drawing board I'm afraid. As pointed out, the Rodico trick is so fiddly and my pin vice jaws don't close in union. I tried but the screw is so small it's hard to grip the screw in the Rodico without it moving all over the place while trying to get it in the vice. I started to shake too much so gave up before the screw flew off somewhere never to be found again.  I'm now thinking that maybe I could bond the screw on the end of a bit of peg wood and then dissolve the adhesive afterward.  I just had another thought🤔 I have some really small PCB drill bits maybe I could drill a small hole in peg wood and push the screw in, as stated I only need to get the screw started.  Another idea 🤣 Magnetize the screwdriver to hold the screw 🤔

      Yeah there is a spring under there. Hopefully now I can source a screw for the click and the bridges! Thanks for your help!

      Identifying watch for possible radioactive concern

      By rjenkinsgb · Posted

      Definitely worthwhile, if you are working with old watches - just be sure it's an actual Geiger counter, not one of the vast range of scam/fake "Radiation detectors" on ebay & amazon etc. that detect RF or static electricity...   In the mean time, I'd put the dial and hands in zip bags & wipe down the work area with a damp cloth to pick up any dust, then discard the cloth. The emitted radiation from radium lume is not normally harmful - but inhaling or ingesting a single particle of the material can cause serious long term harm, so do take care with it.
