Watching Your Watch: How to Test the Accuracy of Your Timepiece

There are many things that make a great watch, and we have covered most of them on our website. The movement, the complications, the design and aesthetics and the cultural message quality watches convey are all things that make watches some of the most worn, appreciated and sought-for accessories around the world.

Many men enjoy watches because of their precision, both in terms of indicating the time and design. However, before investing in a valuable timepiece, many men raise the question: "How do I know that the watch I buy is as precise as its manufacturer says?"

And, in the end, this is a legitimate question, as most people who buy watches simply trust the label from which they buy, which, in the case of high-end watches, is a good thing.

Many men try to see if their watches match the time on their phone or check it against the atomic time app, which, interestingly enough, sometimes shows a different time than the time of the phone it is using, which makes the whole process quite confusing and not worth your while. The process can become very complicated and weird, especially if you are trying to check a mechanical watch.

Brands with a strong heritage generally offer only high-quality timepieces that can be trusted. However, an innovative company has developed a product that tests your fashion technology with the help of your own gadgets.

We have recently discovered the Geneva-based brand Lepsi, which has recently released a new fascinating gadget. The Lepsi Watch Scope is a watch analyzer that, in a matter of just seconds measures the performance of your mechanical watch.

Due to their technologies, the new Lepsi watch analyzer checks the accuracy, amplitude and beat error of your watch and lets you know in an instant the state of your timepiece, right on your phone or tablet.

The Swiss brand's latest release has been tested out and has passed the most demanding quality tests of some of the most prestigious Swiss watch manufacturers. The reliability of the measurements taken with the help of their gadgets matches the highest standards of professional watchmakers. This way, the Lepsi Watch Scope makes a great addition to any watch enthusiast's selection.

The reason why we like the Lepsi time analyzer is the fact that it involves your watch and your phone or tablet in a process that is fun and that gives you an air of confidence.

Being able to test out your watch is not only a fun process, but it is also a good way to tell a knock-off from a veritable piece. In this sense, anyone can make use of watch testing devices. Fashionistos as well as small retailers should use a watch testing device to make sure the pieces they use or sell are of the highest quality and are worth their money.

Those who don't worry about their watch being a potential fake, can use the Lepsi watch analyzer to monitor their full collection of watches and record all measurements in their own database. This way, you can follow all the timepieces you own over the years, see whether they had any fluctuations in performance and detect how often each should be checked or serviced.

Keeping track of your watch's performance is not only a useful thing, but, given the newest technological advances, it is also fun. We are always very excited to discover new ways in which fashion and technology can meet and in the ways in which technology can enhance our sartorial experience, as well as the other way around, the way our clothes can make our gadgets more interesting and fun.

When different fields that raise many passions, such as style and technology, meet, the experience becomes more personal and special.
