    Yes, we all struggle to defend these complications which nobody really needs. I have been boiling eggs using my Memovox as a countdown timer.

    I won't go into too much detail, but I timed something that also gave the (automatic) watch a charge :P

    The :( thing here is YOU admitting to doing the ironing :lol:, now what you should be doing with the chrono is timing how long it takes the missus to do the ironing and offer her any advice/tips on how to beat her time for next Sundays bout of ironing time trial,that will give her something to strive to beat and added interest, and you to look forward to using your watch as intended,she will love you even more than she does already for showing her your appreciation for her hobby.

    I timed our six minutes of first half injury time on mine yesterday. Was the first time I can remember wearing a chrono to the footy as it happens. Normally I have a diver on and end up using the bezel..

    Re: Sadest use of a chrono.

    Let me try and guess....cos I'm psychic,would the first letter of the watch you used to time upto here begin with an errrrrrrrrrr A?,would the 2nd letter of that watch end also with an a?............is it an Avionica?.

    Sadest use of a chrono.

    Not sure I could grill a decent steak without my EZM-1 anymore... It's essential for tactical close quarters firefights with tasty dead animals.

    For more strategic conflicts such as an entire leg of lamb, the DC57 is the go-to timekeeper.
