How do you use your chronograph?

Right on, brother! 👍 Yep, grilling and cooking, primarily.

Grilling in style with the iconic moonie I see!! Enjoy enjoy 😋….tbh, I rarely activate any of the chrono complications in my watches, other than at the beginning of each rotation for a few revolutions. Hope this doesn’t get me excommunicated or kicked off the app!! 🙏😂😆😘

I start it up every so often the make sure it still works.

Other than that I don't use it at all.

I've tried to use it, but that always ends in me looking at it 5 hours later and wondering what I started it for.

Almost done!

There it is!

Cooking, making coffee, seeing how long it takes me to do a grocery store run, how long it takes me to get somewhere, how long it takes me to do the dishes, how long I've been reading, how long did it take me to sweep the floor, how long it takes me to take out the garbage, keeping track of the washing machine, making tea, a couple of times seeing how long I slept, how long stop lights are.

Good eats!

Here I'll have to admit that despite owning several chronographs I seldom use this function. Of course that it never stopped me from wearing them.

Timing how long I have to wait for things like gas lines at Costco, checking to see if a 30 minute wait for a restaurant is really 30 minutes, (not ever) my wife getting ready, etc. I find that timing these waits with my chrono watching the time tick away makes the time pass by more quickly because I get to enjoy my watch (plus annoy my family by telling them exactly how long I waited).

Also, it goes without saying, I randomly time 14 second intervals during the day because (if you have to ask . . .).

Back in the day when I used to work in a hotel, our lunch/dinner break was - don't ask me why - 42 minutes long. I timed that one with my chrono. :-) Nowadays luckily I'm in another business, so I use this complication mostly for cooking.

Timeing my breaks, tour activities, cooking, and cordinating pranks with coworkers. So many different ways and all are so much fun!

I use it for tracking the time spent on work throughout the day, and then billing clients. #lawyerstoolwatch

Umm… according to the hair coloring instructions, I time the saturation period 25-30 minutes before my girlfriend has to take a shower right after I color her hair. Yes…. I color my girlfriend’s hair.

I use the Chrono Second Hand on the Speedmaster, to Point to the current Day of Month. :)

Sometimes I time my drawing sessions. It's a way to sharpen your skills.

I imagine I own one ☝️ :)

Making dinners definitely one of the primary uses…Christmas Lunch an especially heavy use case

Don’t you need to constantly check your wrist for how much time has passed? I’d absolutely forget about it.

I mostly use it to time my coffee making, sometimes tea (although a countdown timer is more useful for this), and to time certain tasks I have to bill. I also used the tachymeter scale just for fun on the highway and it's pretty accurate!

I use my chronograph (even though it's quartz) more as a fidget toy than anything else.

Looking at your chronograph is 90% of the charm.

Just to look at it.. watch it for 30 secs and then reset it and not use it for a long time

How? Could you please explain that further that sound quite intersting !

Well that's easy. You start the Chrono Function, and stop it at that second, that's the current date.

e.g. today you'd stop the seconds hand at 25 seconds. and every day you'd advance the seconds hand 1 second. ;)

So you'd have a pointer-date.

Genius thanks! I don't need that on my current chrono but I keep the idea for sure. 😉

Once I replace the oscillating pinion and rotor bearings (Oris tt3), I expect I’ll use it to time everything I can 😂
