2. What Watchism Does
- shows a disciplined local reference clock using a selectable primary source of NTP, HTTPS Date, or Roughtime, followed by enabled fallback sources
- stores watch collection records, notes, photos, wear logs, and timing observations on-device
- supports wishlist management, browser-assisted watch discovery, and image import workflows
3. Common Troubleshooting
- Camera not available: confirm that Camera access is allowed for Watchism in iPhone Settings.
- Photos not importing: confirm that Photo Library access is allowed and that the selected item is still available in Photos.
- Astronomy data missing: enable location inside Watchism if you want local sunrise, sunset, twilight, and moon context.
- Reference source changes: verify your selected primary source and enabled fallback methods in the Sources sheet. Watchism tries the chosen primary source first and then the remaining enabled sources in the displayed order.
- Browser image import: long-press an image in the in-app browser, then choose whether to add it to the wishlist or attach it to an existing watch.
4. Permissions Used by the App
- Camera: only when you choose to take a watch photo.
- Photos: only when you choose to import or link a photo.
- Contacts: only when you choose to link a boutique advisor.
- Location: only when you enable astronomy location features.
5. Privacy
Watchism is designed to keep watch data on-device. For privacy details, see the Watchism Privacy Policy.
6. App Review Information
If Apple App Review needs to verify app behavior, the following points are relevant:
- no login or account is required
- collection data and watch images are stored locally on-device unless you explicitly export them
- network access is limited to configured time-reference endpoints for the selected primary source and any enabled fallback sources such as NTP, HTTPS Date, or Roughtime, plus explicit user actions such as opening sites or importing a selected browser image
