I forgot that was there. I guess what I was thinking was when looking at the movements collection stats bar chart. Of course the categories chart below has it, I was just hyper focused on the movements.

I’ve just heard about this app on another thread (long time collector, late comer to the CW Forum game). Downloaded, added watches and images and I can already see myself getting obsessed over it…

Thanks!

Thanks @PGR101 - glad you're enjoying it!

I've been a bit quiet round here recently - totally overloaded at work (often happens at this time of year) so not getting much downtime to talk watches or build apps :( Hoping things start to calm down a bit once we're into October as I've still got loads of things on the WristTrack 'to do' list :lol:

@Stif

I'm quite happy with the app as it currently stands, so take a breather after your busy period. No worries.

I hope nobody minds me giving this a little 'bump' - I've been making slow progress over recent months but finally have a new update ready and always interested in thoughts and feedback!

First off though - a couple of weeks ago I got a shout out on Fratello's YouTube channel! At around 2:40 in the video RJ (one of the founders!) mentioned WristTrack... I know it's tiny in the grand scheme of things, but it absolutely made my year!



Anyway - onto the updates!

Moon Phase Calculator (Pro)
Screenshot 2025-02-28 at 16.18.13.png
A while ago now I added in the 'time setting' feature, which on the Pro version has a chunk of white space at the bottom half of the screen... so I thought I'd fill that with a view of the current moon phase (which today is a new moon / 1%, hence the big black circle in the picture - it's not broken! :lol: )
Since CW makes two of the best moon phase watches around hopefully this will be useful to some!

More Stats! (Pro)
Screenshot 2025-02-28 at 16.18.37.png
In recent releases I've done a bunch of 'under the hood' work to prep for this, to make it easier to expand the data collected, and this release starts to show some of the benefit of that. I've started light with a focus on case dimensions (diameter, thickness, lug to lug and lug width), with the aim of then expanding on this in follow up drops.

More charts!

...and with more stats, comes more charts! The wear stats can be grouped by the newly added data, and the collection charts now contain a breakdown of the collection (plus average / median values for them).

A dynamic wear button
A friend of mine has a lovely quarts Hamilton Jazzmaster - he's not a watch guys and it's the only watch he ever wears, but he's still been using WristTrack every day because he's awesome!
(He also makes a great music 'podcast' every week called Vinyl Lockdown, which I'd heartily recommend giving a listen if you like music!)

Anyway, he suggested that I make the 'wear today' button change once the watch had been worn that day... so I did:

to:
Screenshot 2025-02-28 at 16.23.43.png
I know it's tiny, but it felt like a useful wee change!

...and finally...

Wrist Recap!

There's not really a lot to this at the moment... I originally tried to do a rapid build and release over my Christmas break, but I hit some terrible writer's (coder's?) block and couldn't figure out quite what to do with it, and thus missed my target of releasing it before the new year...
Screenshot 2025-02-28 at 16.25.35.png
Essentially, you pick a year (it'll automatically allow selection of any in the database with tracked data) and it'll run some calculations and then give a quick summary of your collection / wearing habits for that year, almost like a 'Spotify Wrapped' type summary, but for watches!
Screenshot 2025-02-28 at 16.27.20.png
I slapped a huge BETA tag on though, as I think it's pretty unfinished! It was fun to put together though and lays some good foundations, so I plan to continue to enhance it over the year so that it's something to look forward to using on January 1st 2026!

I also did a few library updates and bug fixes as usual, which are boring but necessary to keep the app alive!

I reckon I've tested this enough now that I'll run some builds and submit to the app stores - so if you're still on the beta channels now's a good time to do a database backup and keep an eye out for the test versions appearing :)

The full release should then be out at some point hopefully next week!

@Stif thanks for the update! I've used the app since 1 January when I really thought I should do something about tracking wears, making sure that no piece got left behind. I've found it extremely useful and love tracking the various graphs by type, manufacturer etc.

The only comment I'd have is that, for me, the introduction of the moon phase tracker is a terrible idea. Because I don't own a moon phase watch and the temptation to get one might be too strong if this feature exists!

In all seriousness though, looks great and keep up the good work. It's appreciated by me and I'm sure many others here.

Thank you! Glad you find it useful :)

I did consider adding an option to turn the moon phase on and off (and to try to improve it with an actual life like moon image!) so may do that soon - may also add a second timezone option if I can get my head around it!

@rkovars thanks for fixing the YouTube link Rich, I was sure there was a way to do it, but couldn't for the life of me remember how!

@Stif

Thanks for the work you put into this app, and congrats on being mentioned in the Fratello video.

Can't want for the updates! I don't wear my moonphase that often, but when I do, having the day's moonphase so easily at hand will be awesome.

And yes, the Pro version is so worth it.

Congrats on the mention! I hope you don’t mind but, even though I’m not a heavy user myself (just bad at tracking stuff), I told the watch enthusiast group at work about your app about a month ago (someone was talking about a gap in the market and I said… nope!) so you may have seen an uptick of USA users…

The app is brilliant though, thanks for the extra updates! I guess the only request I’d make that’d help me use it is a widget/button I could add on my Home Screen to wear a particular watch. I usually only wear one of four watches, and will wear one for days or weeks at a time so being able to just tap a button quickly would be lovely. (But this is a very low priority feature I’d say!)

Anyway, thank you very much again!

Genuinely appreciate you sharing it, thank you - it makes me feel like less of a nerd knowing others find it useful too!

As for widgets, I think there are some Flutter libraries now that simplify that setup across Android and iOS, so I'll definitely look into it properly at some point as it would be useful for quick adds as you say:)

I need to chime in as well. Simply said I love the app and use it faithfully every single day. As for add ons, I’m fine with it just the way it is. Thanks again for all your hard work!

Another note of gratitude! I use the app everyday and really enjoy it. I got such a kick out forumites showing their year-end wear stats that I had to join in. Now I find myself wondering about the tracking influencing my choices… as in I find myself rooting for favorites of all things.
