Ask Tick
A watch guide that knows your wrist
Ask whether a watch will suit you, what to look for before you buy, or how timekeeping got here. Tick works the fit out with the same rule as the size calculator, and reads the fact-checked Atlas before he answers a history question.
Early access
Ask Tick is open to early access members
Tick answers fit questions with the size calculator's own rule, reads the fact-checked Atlas before any history answer, and says when he is unsure. Enter your early access code to talk to him.
Paid plans are on the way. Until then, Ask Tick is for people with a code.
What Tick knows
- Fit. Your wrist's flat top, the case sizes that sit in proportion on it, and a verdict for any case or lug-to-lug, by the rule in the size calculator.
- The history of time. Every stop of the Grand Tour of Time, with its fact rating. He links the pages he used.
- Cost per wear. The same sum as the cost per wear calculator.
- Watch sense. Movements, complications, water resistance, servicing, and what to check before buying new or used.
What Tick won't do
- Make up a watch's measurements. He has no catalogue of models: if he gives a size from memory he says so, and you should check the maker's spec sheet.
- Quote prices, guess what a watch will be worth, or call one an investment.
- Send you to a shop. He has no deals with brands or sellers.
He is an AI, so he can still be wrong. When it matters, measure, and try the watch on if you can.
The WORN app
Your wrist, measured once, read against every watch.
WORN measures your wrist with the iPhone's depth camera. On iPhones without one, you set it by hand. Every watch in the app is then read against that number, and Tick guides you through the Grand Tour of Time.
