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?

Never. Not much of a chrono fan but it sure looks the business!

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 :(

Never, the date always and sometimes the day.
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.
