One tap. That’s the whole measurement.

Set your watch to true time. A day later, tap the moment the second hand hits twelve, and Ratekeeper does the rest, comparing your tap to atomic time and working out the exact rate.

Over time

Watch the trend, run by run.

Every time you reset the watch, a new run begins, and all your readings chart together. Watch a rate settle after a service, drift as it comes due, or measure up to a precision standard.
