How often do you use the chrono function on your ROO
I am sure this topic has been brought up before. I want to see how often do you use the chrono function on your ROO also how long did you use it for?

I'm curious how often people use their annual calendars to remind them what month they are in.

I have always suspected that people buy Chrono watches for the extra two pushers sticking out from the side and not for the stopwatch function. Nothing wrong with that though

I use it all the time.
Time my steaks. My workouts. Parking meters. Timed laps of the Porsche through the favorite hill loop. How long until my ordered food comes out... I have fun with it. |

Best thing yet - How long my uninterrupted sleep was the night before.
4 hours 17 minutes 36 seconds. Continuously. |

This is an interesting question. I owned several chrono watches but never used it for any real purpose except for fun. I need to ask myself again next time why I buy a watch with a function that I never need it, thanks for asking this question.

Once in a blue moon just to make sure the watch is working properly. Aside from that, or the purpose that it was meant for.... never.

Never, I think this feature is useless comparing with dual time feature and the problem is watches with chrono. Feature more expensive than watches with dual time :(

I use it just to stare at it. I love watching two second hands sweeping together...

The moon and the month are nice decorations on the dial. I think the whole point of them is just to avoid the hassle to adjust the date every other month. Is more convenient to do it once a year. |

So far not at all on the AP, since I have not had any testing cases over the summer. Come fall I will be using it a lot...
I used the chrono on my other watches all the time last Fall and Spring though.

I only use it when I get drunk and it seems like a good idea, but I have never used it to actually time anything.
