The Seiko was a gift from the wife..............'nuff said!!!!  I used it for flying....the Alarm function on the Seiko "Alarm" chronos can be used as a GMT!

Despite the D. Mink (very cool), I'm still in the "what the heck are chronos good for" camp. I have a few that I wear maybe once or twice a year. And, each time I wonder what would I need one for.

A lot of the chronos a poorly marked making them of little use (IMHO). If I truly need to time something, I use a stop-watch. :D

I use them at the track. very handy. I hate having a stop watch around the neck.

I can finish a session and head out to the pitwall and time the comp. without digging for a stop watch. Of course having your own pit-ho helps to:D

Chronos are a must for all Pinewood Derby "Pineheads" (even though the computer timer goes to thousands of a second and the race is over in 3 seconds or less, LOL) :D

Cheers,

Chronos always get used when I wear them... I just don't wear them that often.

this is a nice grouping of chronos...

Perhaps the "C" in KenC should stand for
CHRONO!!

Who says ya have to have a stop-watch around your neck? watch2.gif

The Accusplit® A925MXBL wrist stopwatch gives you all the function advantages of a stopwatch but with the convenience of a wristwatch. It has a countdown timer with 4 modes, including an Up-Timer, a Down-Timer, a Down-Up Timer, and an Up Stopwatch with Time-in-Time-Out.

It is a stopwatch you wear on your wrist.

Ken,

This ain't no wristwatch. It doesn't tell time. It is merely a stopwatch you wear on your wrist.

The chronograph's (we're talking about) are wristwatches first and a timing mechanism (of sorts), second. :D

SOooooo..., Like I said, if I want to time something, I'll use a stopwatch.  Something made specifically for timing. :D

By the way, I just checked. I have four friggen Chrono's!!! I only thought I had two! I have two quartz models and two ani-digital models (both Jacques Lemans). I also own two digital stopwatches for timing those noodles. :D:D:D
