Hello All, does anyone use an app to keep track of their watches? I was using Watchee and I got a new phone and low and behold, none of the data is there anymore. I experimented with a spreadsheet once before but I found it outdated. thanks I’m advance for advice!
A spreadsheet works for me, but apparently a lot of people do use apps. https://omegaforums.net/threads/which-app-for-watch-collection.88907/ https://omegaforums.net/threads/watchville-app-aggregator-is-going-away…-any-backup-solution.150672/ https://omegaforums.net/threads/how-do-you-collate-your-watch-information.67463/
Started with a Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet around 1988, later converted to Excel around 1995, and have been using it ever since. I don't like the idea of an app where my data is in the cloud, I like it on my hard drive (with appropriate backups).
I use a spreadsheet. Honestly, there are so many things in my life where I try to use a pretty app, but I end up back in Google docs because I can customize it so easily.
Write one using PowerApps or AppSheet - then its available on all your devices to view, edit or add content - takes only an hour or so to develop including for novices...
The last thing I want to do is associate our old school watch collecting past time with some latest electronic technological fiddle-fuck like an app. Bad enough we're on the net.
You can keep track of your collection using the Chrono24 app and website. My “collection” is small enough I haven’t felt the need to track things but I’m almost to the point where I will start a spreadsheet.
