So in case of not turning on this function, it is still (although central seconds hand for timing and display has already appeared, most of chronograph central needles can only be used for timing).
Configuration of central timing is different from the normal second indication, which requires timing and switching between gears. Therefore, turning on the central seconds hand for a long time will increase the power consumption of the watch, and there will be frequent stops. At the same time, it will also reduce the durability of the watch and shorten its service life. Unless it can be indicated in seconds from specification, it is better not using timing function.
With the development of chronograph watch, the functions have also been expanded. In addition to recording time, they have also expanded to the fields of racing, measurement, and medicine: TACHYMETER, TELEMETER and PULSATIONS.
