If stop watches are included, I don't think I've even wound the one I have since 1975.

I use mine to time our setlist for my band. Most shows we play are 20-30 mins sets so being on-time and not overplaying is a MUST!
Nice! I do the same! (Our set times run +/- 40 minutes)

I used to use them a bit…timing jobs, timing sequences of machines, lap times etc. but I find it easier to use a cheap digital stopwatch these days…..easier to read with my buggered old eyes and no fumbling about with small pusher buttons.

And of course the other great advantage is that they’re cheap n cheerful, so if they shit themselves I just turf it and get another.

I use my chronograph every single day for timing my manual espresso machine, I like having the tactile feedback that I definitely started the timer, the timer in my coffee scales the button is capacitive, so sometimes I dont know if it actually started.

I initially started more because the speedy was new to me and it was a novel use case, but I came to really like the tactile feedback, and even days when I'm not wearing a chrono I still grab it for making mine and the wife's coffee each morning.

Have you seen the Brew watches?

I looked them up, interesting with a coffee machine theme, all with chronograph functionality to time shots.

Maybe I should see how much importing one would end up...
