Re: When was the last time you used your timer on your wrist trinket
on a chronograph: about 35 years ago, then got rid of all chronographs because I never used them (and so there was no need for their cluttered design)
bezel: this morning for making tea

Outside of the conversation above, I probably use the bezel more than the chrono.2otto2 wrote:on a chronograph: about 35 years ago, then got rid of all chronographs because I never used them (and so there was no need for their cluttered design)

Bezels are bloody useful things.

UFC is the Ultimate Fighting Championship!
Probably right up your alley.
Imagine a restaurant in Norwich that served an English mustard that wasn't Colmans and you will see a similar result.

Re: When was the last time you used your timer on your wrist trinket
To be truthful, I never use the chrono functions on my 4 Chronographs.

Re: When was the last time you used your timer on your wrist trinket
I have a couple of chronographs which hardly get worn so the chrono function isn't used either. Don't really use the bezels on my divers either!

Re: When was the last time you used your timer on your wrist trinket
Whilst I do use the chronograph function on a watch I don’t get why anyone would use a dive bezel for timing above the water.
I get why they are used under the water, however do folk really get confused and disoriented on dry land?
Oh look l have just parked my car for an hour, it’s now 9:40am. Let me set the twisty dive bezel to remind me when the parking is due to run out! I take the simpler view of its 9:40am, I need to be back by 10:40am and just, well remember it!
YMMV.

Using the bezel would be like adding up, using a calculator, rather than my head.

Re: When was the last time you used your timer on your wrist trinket
I haven't owned a watch with a rotating bezel since I sold the C65 months ago
I did once use the bezel on a C60 as an egg timer to try and justify owning a dive watch. The conclusion was that the timer on the oven is much more useful as it bleeps when done, so I reverted to that.

I very rarely use a bezel for timing, but I use my chronographs for timing regularly.
