Timegrapher X is a diagnostic utility that measures mechanical watch performance, including accuracy rate, beat error, and amplitude. By utilizing the Apple EarPods' headset microphone to capture watch movement sounds, it provides both real-time analysis and long-term data logging. The app serves as a portable alternative to traditional, dedicated timegrapher hardware.
