It was timing a cup of tea - bag in, three minutes, bag out. Perfect cup.

I was with a girl.......can't really say more than that on this forum
Me too, but I must be using it wrong… said I was doing almost 300mph?!

*Just saw The Father beat me to the joke.

Seriously, I think the first thing I timed it was a 4-year-old’s birthday party… I find myself using it often at kid-related events that I’d rather avoid. Somehow comforting to know I’m not alone 🤪

My first, I couldn't tell. The last was the Artemis 2 mission, and I haven't had the heart to reset it since. Now the watch is kind of a time capsule 😅. I also like to think it was first being used by someone timing Apollo 16 and/or 17, the watch being made approximitely October '71.

I don’t remember the first thing I ever timed, but it looks like I'm out of that game for awhile. The start/stop button on my 1861 suddenly quit working last week. I push it and part of the way in it seems to hit something hard and doesn’t click. Some little lever quit doing its job, I guess. The reset button still engages.

I bought it in March, 2019 and it is likely due for a service. But as the watch still keeps perfect time, I think I’m going to delay sending it in.

I can definitively say it’s an hour and five minutes hike to Holland Lake Falls - kid snacks included.

I basically use the timer when I cook pasta.
I think you mean you chronometrically regulated the thermodynamic progression towards al dente 😉

This thread has me timing everything now. My evening commute last night was fifty minutes and thirty one seconds.
If I wasn't autistic enough......now I am timing everything. Thanks, folks! 😀

Can't remember the first thing I timed with my Moonwatch, but I know I use it to time steaks quite often.

For my X-33, I use the mission elapsed timer for various missions. Our neighbor was (she moved) Suni Williams and I timed her ill-fated flight on the Boeing Starliner a couple of years ago. What I (and everyone else) thought would be a couple of weeks turned into almost nine months. The X-33 timed it to the second, though. 😉

Probably to time the parking meter, it was at least the first thing I thought of to time.

Can’t remember the first thing timed…but this was the last thing timed (just a few minutes ago)…how long it took for me to start dropping f-bombs during pickleball at the gym…19 seconds.
