Timegrapher reading context: what do rate, amplitude and beat error actually tell me? · RWF-12783

I ran a watch on a basic timegrapher and got +6 s/d, 245 degrees amplitude and 0.8 ms beat error, dial up, about an hour after winding. Is this good, bad or normal? I don't want to send it for service on a single reading.

Reply scope: address the opening question, explain the supporting record or reasoning, and state the limit of the answer.

Can the same settings and winding state be used for several positions? Record each position separately rather than combining measurements taken under different conditions.

First identify the caliber, lift-angle setting, winding state and measurement position. Without those fields, the rate, amplitude and beat-error values lack enough context for a useful comparison.
