Just having a bit of fun here. I remember the first thing that I timed using my brand new Speedy was the duration of a flight heading home from overseas. Can you remember what was the first thing you timed with yours?

Haha. That's what I use it mostly for now (as well as pasta).

Always use it for outdoor grilling. Probably chicken wings were first.

Don't recall. Probably was an occasion timing mile markers when I was bored while driving I-10 in Texas between Fort Stockton and Balmorhea.

My speed on the highway. Confirmed that my speedometer is fast.

Photo is of the unboxing. Cat was waiting to inspect the inside of the box.

·Today at 9:04am·Sometimes I’m wrong. Usually.

A plane flight. If I’m wearing a chronograph on a plane I often start it at wheels up and end it at wheels down.

I can’t time food with a count up timer. I need a count down and an alarm otherwise I overcook everything.

I agree with you on timing food. Must have an alarm. Otherwise I can just as well use any ol’ watch I’m wearing rather than fiddling with a chronograph watch.
