Where WristLog is the better pick
- You want native iPhone and Android apps — Widdershins runs in your browser.
- You record timegrapher readings as well as accuracy checks.
Where Widdershins is the better pick
- You’d rather not manage a password.
- You want one free journal that works the same on your phone and your computer.
- You track straps: each strap keeps its own wear count.
Bringing your WristLog history over
- In WristLog, download your wear history with Export Wristchecks — WristLog’s help page lists it under CSV Export.
- Sign in here (or start a journal) and open Import from your account.
- Upload the CSV and match its columns: a date column, plus a watch-name column or separate brand and model columns. Check the preview, then confirm.
There’s no ready-made setup for WristLog’s file yet — we haven’t seen a real one — so you match its columns yourself. Columns with common names, like “Date” or “Brand”, are matched for you.
