Dizzy Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 I did a search and didnt find much.. I just bought the kello app for my iPhone 4s and it works PERFECT. Theres some bad reviews out there but thats for the original version that came out a few years ago. Ive tested all my watches and no problems at all and its quite accurate. It costs $9 i think. Super cheap. All my watches are running between -4 and +2.6 seconds per day. NOt bad at all. Expect one of my Datejusts thats coming up as -166 seconds per day. I think that one needs a tune up!! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grifter Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 I love this app too. After I got it, I sat in the quietest room in the house and clock'd all my watches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimster Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Are you using the Apple mic that came with your phone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irolexu Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Pretty cool app! Now if I can only turn my camera into a professional quality loupe... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 I have been using it for a long time, as well ... all I can say is that if you are getting poor results, you need to adjust the mic gain up or down ... too loud is just as bad as too soft. I bought a $20 high quality iphone external mic for use with the app. As for the bad reviews on the app page ... you just KNOW that most of them are trying to time their watches through the closed case back and have no intention of opening it themselves. The app is not perfect .. it does crash quite often .. but it's a nice little tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irolexu Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 I'd say to put this app to the real test run it with a real timing machine at the same time as the app and see what numbers we get. Any one have a legitimate timing machine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irolexu Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Nice sneed! I might have to see where my watches stand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siesta181 Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 I tried this app... the mainstream (both ETA & Asian) 6497, 2836, 2892, 2893 fared very well +/- 10s in general. One of my sf240s had a -7 secs per day, the other was quite bad at -80s per day. So i guess its pretty accurate. FWIW.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omega Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 It's really accurate...unbelievable! Now only I have to build a custom holder with a good mic, and I have a mobile timegrapher... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HartDoc Posted December 9, 2011 Report Share Posted December 9, 2011 It really amazing to see a lot of my reps are within cosc. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jkay Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 It really amazing to see a lot of my reps are within cosc. I think the real trick in a top quality timepiece is that it's tuned to hold it's timing in the 5 standard positions. That takes a talented watchsmith and some time to accomplish.
