Watch Timing?
This is an older Rolex timing sheet used at the end of a service. Timing of a watch, if done comprehensively, can take the better part of a week. It includes rates and amplitude measurements at full wind, half wind and power reserve measurements. Your "rate" is the average of 5 or 6 positions at full wind, not a single instantaneous rate. This is part of why a single reading on a timegrapher is not the same timing routine that watchmakers use.

Right, but you have a big advantage as the owner of a watch. You can simply adjust for real world variation, e.g. the average spd +/- when worn, and then simply perform a relative adjustment with the timegrapher.
Agreed! I find it works better if the watch is fully in use for at least a week prior as well. They work better when used.
