- Moonphase
- Perpetual calendar
- Eclipse predictor
- Ability to quickly set watch to any date from 4000 BCE to 2800 CE
- Location setting with four ways of setting location and timezone
- Zodiac constellations
- Lunar node indicators
- Sidereal time
- Precession of the equinoxes
- Right ascension of Sun and Moon
Emerald Chronometer includes Geneva and 13 other watches, and has been available since the App Store opened in July 2008. Version 3.0 of Emerald Chronometer, released earlier this month, adds displays for the positions of the 6 inner planets (through Saturn), a new grid mode that shows multiple watches running simultaneously, and a sophisticated location-setting system with four ways of setting your location and timezone. The image above shows just one of the new watches (out of a total of 14 now included).
The help system describing all of these watches has been described by a reviewer as the best Help system available for any app. A copy of that help system, which also includes a 5-minute demo movie just scratching the surface of the functionality, can be found at the Emerald Chronometer web page
