How to Use a Chronograph Watch
Vložit
- čas přidán 19. 03. 2019
- While a chronograph may look complicated, it’s essentially a stop watch you can master in a few easy steps.
The first thing you may notice is the second hand on the dial isn’t moving. This hand is dedicated to measuring seconds for the chronograph function. The other two sub dials are used for measuring time within the chronograph function.
To operate the chronograph watch, you’ll use the buttons above and below the crown called “pushers.” To start the chronograph, press the top pusher. The chronograph’s second hand will start to move. While the chronograph is running, use the bottom pusher to take a split time. The chronograph is keeping time in the background with the hands paused so you can read the elapsed time. Press the bottom pusher again and hands will catch up to the time kept internally.
To stop the chronograph watch, press the top pusher. You can reset your chronograph watch by pressing the bottom pusher while the chronograph is stopped. All three chronograph hands will return to their starting position.

Not a Timex owner, but the chronograph resetting part worked perfectly for my Swatch Oblique, so cheers.

Jun Malabanan I always come back to this video and you help all the time, your the man!, or girl...
This makes the video a hell of a lot more helpful. Thank you so much for this.
Thank you, bought a chronograph watch and was confused why the second hand wasn’t moving and what the dials meant. This video was clear to understand everything
me too… My chronograph will be here in about six days… But I was a bit surprised the secondhand doesn't work in normal use… I guess I can get used to looking at the small one but at first I was disappointed because I love the large one… But then again I can always use it when I need a larger secondhand for timing short things just by using the chronograph I guess… But I too but the main secondhand would be normal it's not
Got this watch for Christmas one week ago. It really looks nice and seems relatively easy to operate. Thanks for the tutorial; clear and concise.
One of the best & simplest tutorials ever, since I own one!
Thank you great video and to the point. Others have a long intro then the host plugs their instagram then useless chatter never getting to the point .
“Don’t forget to hit that subscribe button and hit that bell too!” I hate that also...if the channel is great, then they shouldn’t have a problem getting subs. This vid taught me how to use my chronograph in 4 minutes!
I recommend this video for everyone! Easy yet informative.
I've owned this chronograph for over a year and like it very much. It has a great look, it's tremendously useful, and the price is right.
Is it water resist
Hi, thanks for your interest. Yes, this watch is resistant to water up to 30 meters.
@@goodprince5327 The instructions say it's water resistant to 30 meters, but I haven't taken it swimming.
@@vendazthedisturbed 30 metres static (submerged with no movement), so in practical terms, it's splash resistant. For swimming, you need 100 metres and higher.
Best video explaining how the chronograph works
It seems super complicated at first but it's actually very easy once you practice a bit. There was a time when this was the quintessential stop watch for sport and racing enthusiasts. Amazing history and functionality.
Just a little note for anyone using this video as general advice. DO NOT press the bottom pusher while the Chrono is running if you have a mechanical watch. (unless it's a flyback, but those are pretty rare)
Otherwise, this is super easy to understand, more brands need to be this helpful.
why not
Bro never explained why
It puts unnecessary wear on the movement and can cause damage.
I just got me a timex chronograph watch. Awesome watch. thank you timex. Been sporting timex watches since 1982............
THANK YOU! i've bought a watch online a couple days ago and thought it wasnt working properly because de dial wasnt moving hahah. now i know
Thanks for this comprehensive video! Love my Todd Snyder Waterbury Chrono!
Good explanation, finally understood all the functionalities
Thanks for this video. I love my two Timex watches so much. I am I fan!!
Thank you, this solved my confusion on my Tissot chronograph watch
Thanks for the demo! We'll done
Very informative. Thank you. I have a Timex chronograph watch from 2011 that’s now discontinued (unfortunately). This helps a lot.
I just purchased and owned one. Very underrated
this was useful so thanks… You wouldn't believe some of the stuff on CZcams just a complete waste of time. But your video absolutely nicely done. You had to make that animation good job. The watch is simple to use and it looks very nice. I appreciate your hard work making this
This was so clear and helpful. Now I’m a pro :)
Thanks so much for helping me...
Bloody complicated
A simple and fully informative video...all problems solved thanks
Never knew about night mode. Thank you
i own the exact same watch...i am happy i found this tutorial
how much did you pay for it ?
Very useful and easy to understand video, great!!
Very helpful thanks for uploading
Thanks Dr. OZ...
I just got this watch and i have to say this watch worth the money
Need such tutorial for Compass and Altitude functions as well
Hi Meeraj! Thanks for reaching out. You may refer to the following links for previously uploaded video tutorials about IQ compass and altimeter, (bit.ly/2Jw5vq6) , (bit.ly/2TQxfuh).
I made a tutorial on how to vaguely use a watch as a compass. It's for emergency purposes but not precise coordinates. Cheers, my friend.
Thanks, this videos has been great help!
Actually. more important question, if the Chronograph stops, does that mean it stops the entire running time, so date, hours and minutes? Do I need to reset my chronograph every 4 hours?
I get how the chronograph works now...but why is the chronograph a good thing? Seems like a lot of unnecessary functions.
Back in good ol' days it was used widely in Motorsport hence the name Rolex Daytona
Stopping time. Good for many things like making a good cup of tea.
Phones made them obsolete but back then during foot or car races, everyone used these.
I would need to calculate my speed at running, but the thing is that you should know exactly the distance you run.
I’d say that it is more for looks, not practical for use
When i press the first button the chronograph hand does nothing but the minute dial keeps rotating fast and when i press the botton button it resets to zero (minute dial), any idea if my watch got a problem? btw i bought it a week ago and it's under warranty.
Does continuously keeping the seconds hand running in the chronometer hurt the mechanism or only should be used when needed and left alone most of the time?
Its a stopwatch.. Why would you leave it continuously running. It will drain the battery and also it stops automatically after 4 hours to conserve battery.
Very helpful 👍
Am i understanding the instructions correctly that if i buy a Chronograph watch and want to know the time of day it will have nothing to do with the big numbers? I have to look at that tiny clock in the bottom?
what happens is the chronometer runs for more then 30mins? it will just start over? from minute 1,2,3 etc.?
I like that one
Now I know how to work these things
Thank God, my Timex came with the minute and split second hands mis-aligned. I had no idea the chronograph was this advanced
Thank you but i still dont get it why it has to be so complicated
Its cute how they animated the running seconds hand to appear like a mechanical movement 😅
Proud owner of Timex since 2018.
Can I somehow calibrate the hands more precisely, mine are like 1 millimeter off?
That happens with most quartz movements. There isn't a fix for it and even if you were to move the hands by removing the crystal once the hands move again they will fall out of alignment.
OK, now I understand how to use it. But, outside of track events, why use the stop watch function? I mean, where else are you going to use a stop watch?
Cooking, timing your commute, telling your kids you'll time them when they go get you a beer.
I use it in the medical field all the time to count heart rate and respirations
Great video :)
Is there any trick to use only the long pointer to work as normal clock by seconds?
start the chrono at the same time the watch's second hand crosses 60
Hey! I hope someone can help me. I purchased one recently, used it a couple of times. Today I discovered the seconds hand as well as the hours and minutes hands stopped working. I can adjust them but they won't work. Indiglo and chronograph do work fine. But now the watch won't tell time.
I can still return it, I'm just wondering if this is something battery related or if the watch is screwed. Thanks!
I lose time on the regular hands when I mess around with the chronograph. Is this a common issue?
Does the sub dial measure 1/10th or 1/20th of a second?
Maybe I'm too late for the video but how do I activate all the small dials ?
Can I use the pusher while wearing my chronograph? I know that engaging the crown should be done while not wearing the watch to prevent damage. Should I also take off my chronograph to use the timer? Just one my first one and not really sure.
Nice
Instructions not clear, my chronograph somehow ended up my grandfather's ass.
How do I stop the chronograph and just have the second hand working ?
Great informative video.
Does it track real time though,I'm confused 🤔
Why is the second hand moves like a mechanical watch? Is it not quartz based?
Hello there! Thanks a lot for your support and interest with all our products. This watch still uses the quartz analog movement with the ticking motion. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We will pass this along to our back end team.
I know this. My question is in a few watches especially fake watches the main sweeping second hand can’t be stopped at 12 position and you use the small second hand which can be stopped to read your seconds but no 1/10 of a second dial. Are all these fake chronograph watches or are they are just watches with functioning sub dials. After all most don’t really use or know how to use the sub dials.
Does the Weekender share the same movement as the MK1 chronograph? The subdials are located in the same position .
Bro everything is working but my chronograph is not letting me to aline the minute hand at 10 o clock??Any tips bro
Do anyone knows how to fix the day button of the watch...it came out from my watch....there are total three buttons.....middle one for time....upper one is for day and bottom one is for date....and I accidentally broke the date button...it came out with a spring , button ( pusher ) and a very small black rubber ring....can anyone heple me...!!!!!
If the chronograph stops after 4 hrs, why does it have 12hrs to count. So if it safe to say that Chronograph will only count 4hrs of stopwatch and after that it will stop?
But the 1/10 hand should start to move every hour, right?
Yes
Yeahhhh i have my apple watch for all these functions. I wanna buy a chrono purely for looks lol
Don't buy a watch if you aren't going to appreciate everything that goes into one. Chronos are beautifully complex mechanisms we took so long to perfect.
new watch wint work ecen pushing the top pusher what should i do
hello sir i have timex chonograhp watch is exactly sme as your there are three tiny analog which indicate date ,day ,and 24 hours timing but currently i facing some issues which is day & date actully my date is changing in 11:55 i think it should change in 12 am mid and day is changing in 3 am morning which is also change same with date time i tried many time to fix it but i cant please let me know if tou have any idea thank you
1:06 1:16 i wish the ETA 251.264 BD & BE could do that.
Im new to chronograph watch but i think Its different from curren 8351. Chronograph are in the subdial. In thought those subdial will go along with big and small hand in the watch 😅😅😅
you sounded like georgie in young sheldon lol
in my watch midle one the Subwatch of seconds what do I do
I hate that the second hand is not moving when chronograph is not running
My watch buttons don't push
Wow, I didn't know all.
Funny thing is most guys with high end watches or dive watches barely even tell the time on their machines.
My button is not pressing
Hi any ideas why my timex standard chronographs second hand resets to 2 o'clock position?
You need to pull the crown out as if to set the time but press the stp watch activation button and the hand will move slowly round the dial, when it reaches the 12:00 time release the button. Set the correct time and push in the crown.
@@Bonzman I figured it out. But then I noticed it always stops at 2 marker because it's actually faulty. Returned it as it was under warranty. Now I sit and wonder if I should have kept it as a project to fix in the future only spent £41 on it...
@@matzmx sorry to hear that, Timex I normally spot on with quality control. Hope it gets sorted 😁
Model name?
I don't get it =(
guess mine is just broken, then
what is a watch?
0.8
I hate this feature. I want the large second hand to run constantly like a normal watch.
....buy a 'normal' watch! I know what you mean! You could always start the stopwatch large hand on the watch minute, so it tracks.
Itna jyada complicated laga mujhko
Seems a bit unfriendly.
I mean.. who is for the phone stopwatch instead?
I have a review of this watch if anyone is interested. Cheers!
So pissed off with this watch! Cant even set the time! It doesnt have crown's second position at all..minute hand is not moving. Their manual makes you damage the watch..then they inform you that you should avoid setting date from 10pm-2am! Feeling like tossing it into a river.
very complicated way of delivering the message, please improve your communication and be easy while communicating
Yeah! Not complicated at all..
Lmfao. Huh? @_@
Lose the stupid music
God...there's a lot worse and louder music than this on You Tube watch videos..and annoying 'in vision' presenters!
I still have no idea what this is for...and what it does...
Appreciate you elaborating on how to reset my seconds chronograph hand incrementally back to 0. It was stuck at 5 seconds when it arrived!
Hi there, sure thing! You can refer to the instructions below:
1. Pull the crown all the way to the "out" position.
2. Push the upper right button repeatedly until the larger second hand reaches or is aligned with the 12 o'clock position.
3. Push the crown all the way in.
4. Press the upper right button to start and activate stopwatch or chronograph function.
5. Press the upper right button again to stop.
6. Pull the crown all the way out.
7. Press the lower right button once to re-calibrate. The larger second hand should reset itself to the 12 o'clock position.
8. Push the crown all the way in.
For your reference, here is a link also to the user manual of this watch: bit.ly/2SQl0wm. If you're still encountering this issue even after re-calibration and consulting the manual, please call our customer service center at 800-448-4639.
