Archer
··Omega Qualified WatchmakerI see the difference on this board too Archer....Mollydooker is trying to be helpful, you are not.
Yes that's right - I never ever try to help answer people's questions on this forum...🙄
But since this seems to be a serious question (really?!) the answer is of course in your first post:
"he told me to hold it tight and push as fast as I could to make sure it was accurate."
The purpose of a chronograph is for accurately measuring elapsed time, so pressing the pusher slowly makes no sense. My first engineering job was in industrial engineering, doing time and motion studies. This is back when we used, you guessed it, mechanical stopwatches for time studies. I had a clipboard with dual stopwatches on top, and operated both (one always running) so stopping, starting, resetting both while writing down each element that was performed, the time it took, and also performance rating each task. No one had to tell me how to use the stopwatch - the time study was used to generate process plans that determined people's pay, so the timing was important.
All this talk of engineers not designing for the end user is so foreign to me I can't imagine what kind of engineering you are referring to. I always interacted with the end users of the machinery and equipment that I designed and installed, and often trained them on how to use it. I can assure you that Omega/Lemania (and every other chronograph maker) have designed the watch to suit the purpose it was made for.
Of course since the first time I answered your questions on this forum, you proceeded to tell me that watches really don't need servicing, well I guess it's possible that if you don't take care of the watch something might go wrong if you push it incorrectly...
Cheers, Al
