Why calibration matters

The watch detects shots using its accelerometer. Every firearm has a different recoil signature — a .22 LR has far less impulse than a .308. Without calibration, the watch may under-count shots (threshold too high) or trigger on movement that isn’t a shot (threshold too low or debounce too short). Two parameters control detection:
ParameterWhat it doesDefault
Threshold (g)Minimum acceleration spike to count as a shot. Lower = more sensitive.2.5 g
Debounce (ms)Minimum time between counted shots. Prevents double-counting from recoil resonance.150 ms

Open calibration settings

  1. Go to Armory and click on any firearm to open its detail page.
  2. Scroll to the Watch Calibration section.
This section is only shown when you have at least one paired watch.

Manual calibration

Use manual mode when you already know good values from prior experience.
  1. Select Manual in the calibration section.
  2. Enter a Threshold value (g above baseline).
  3. Enter a Debounce value (ms).
  4. Click Save.

Watch-assisted calibration

Use watch-assisted mode to derive the debounce value automatically from a real firing session.
  1. Select Watch in the calibration section.
  2. Choose a watch from the dropdown and click Queue Calibration Drill.
  3. Run the drill on the watch — fire all rounds.
  4. Return to the calibration section and click Derive from Last Session.
  5. The debounce field auto-fills based on 80% of the minimum inter-shot interval observed.
  6. Adjust the Threshold manually if shots are being missed or double-counted.
  7. Click Save.
Threshold cannot be derived from timestamps alone — it depends on the accelerometer signal amplitude, which only the watch records. Start with 2.5 g and adjust up if you see phantom shots, or down if shots are being missed.

Calibration and the Send modal

The Send to Watch modal shows a warning if you select a firearm with no calibration data. This is not a blocker — the watch will use defaults — but accuracy will be lower than a calibrated firearm.
  1. Fire 10–15 rounds at a normal pace with a new firearm.
  2. Use Derive from Last Session to set debounce.
  3. Check the split times in the Performance tab — they should match your actual cadence.
  4. If shots are missing, lower the threshold by 0.5 g and repeat.
  5. If you see extra phantom shots, raise the threshold by 0.5 g.
