Keeping the Chrono Hand Stopped (3861 Movement Question)

Is there any harm in keeping the Chrono hand stopped say at the 11 o'clock mark to remind me to watch the NASA's Perseverance Mars rover which is scheduled to touch down on the Red Planet today (Feb. 18) at 3:55 p.m. EST (2055 GMT).

Or if someone wanted the chrono hand out of the way as to not block the dial.

I know some people will run the chrono 24/7 since they want a live center seconds hand but what about keeping the chrono hand stopped?

Running the chrono all the time can cause unneeded wear but what about simply leaving it stopped?

Great quick read. Assuming it's the same with the 3861?
.

Yes, it is the same.
I usually use my iphone to alert me to things I wish to remember... appointments, phone calls, due dates, birthdays, anniversaries, etc.
