Maybe there's one that is reliable, that I don't know about.

The best one I know of doesn't measure your watch at all. It just keeps track of time reported on your watch and compares it to atomic. You can get rates, deviation, and some statistics but obviously no beat error or instantaneous rate data for positional measurement.

I was disappointed by the phone apps and bought the made in China knockoff timing machine to play with. It's pretty easy to make one of these machines repeatable but as you know the accuracy is only as good as the cal... and I don't think it has one.
