Greetings!

Question if you are willing to help me and thanks for listening.

I want to use the chronograph to time my sleep on a daily basis or long drives along with other shorter interval events.

I read the user manual and read every thing I could find here on this forum… was wondering if that will harm the watch. I’m assuming no or it may just mean that I need a service around year 3 vs year 4-5 or it doesn’t matter, stop fretting and use it as it was designed to be used.

I really love this watch and want to use it for the tool watch that I believe it to be.

Backstory if you are interested in reading… had a Speedmaster 3861 sapphire... loved it… can only be a one watch person… became a diver and got a diving watch for use underwater… sustained an inner ear injury and 5 doctors told me to find another hobby… am the happy owner (again) of a new Speedmaster 3861 sapphire on the leather strap.

If you made it this far thanks again for listening.

Teach me your Jedi zen powers. My bank account will thank you.

And enjoy that you have a legit use for the chrono function. That’s what it’s there for. Some of us just hit the start pusher to make sure it still works.

Thank you for the reply and for validation of what I thought.

I try very hard in life to not have multiples of anything. I drive myself bananas but am a minimalist at heart and in practice. I’ll find what works best for me and sell, return or donate to not have clutter or more than one of something. Same applies to watches. I’ve managed to enjoy the one watch journey so far but am ohhhhh so tempted to get more!

I have several watches but my favorite is the Speedmaster 3861 sapphire. And although I have the bracelet for warm days, I prefer it on leather. My 3861 in a dark brown leather strap I got from an older Aqua Terra is the best.
