WatchDrift: A tool for tracking watch accuracy

posted 22 May 2024

I finally got around to writing a tool that I’ve wanted to make for a year or so: WatchDrift.

I used to use toolwatch.io but found it annoying to click through a not-exactly-blazing-fast website that occasionally makes you re-login just to see how fast a particular watch is running. The hand rolled spreadsheet worked, but entering in a new measure start/stop time was a big pain. This tool gives me everything I’m interested in with a much more ergonomic interface.

It’s fun to be able to create things that fit your personal niche. I can’t make a cabinet, but I can make my own software tools.
