Probably true for most modern chronographs, but not for all. For example, the old Omega 321 and 861 movements do not have fully jeweled chronograph pivot points. I would never run them all of the time. I have a plate from an 861 that shows wear on the hole for the 12 hour register pivot. That hand turns so slowly that it must have been left running for years.
I also read somewhere at some point in the distant past, that those movements were rated for a certain number of pushes, before failure. |

I run the chronograph once in a while. When I do, I sync it to the seconds hand. All in good fun.

I had an IWC Portuguiser , and it seemed a bit odd the large hand keeping still , I was looking at it thinking the seconds hand didn’t work …
So for an upcoming Daytona, I will run mine, I never wear a watch over a long period of time anyhoo .. one day then left for maybe 4 or 5 days in its case …

I like to see larger second hand running! And it’s satisfying to look at the chronograph minute hand step up!

My only chronograph is a Zenith so the stopwatch runs 6x as fast as the seconds hand does. I only use it when I need to time something.
