dumb questions from a chrono newbie
I've been playing with the stopwatch on my new (to me) tudor 79270 and I'm wondering:
- Are there any downsides to having the stopwatch running frequently? - Would it hurt the stopwatch if I left it idle in a final position? In other words, should I reset the stopwatch when not in use? Thanks for any advice! |

Don't depress the pushers under water....that's about the only way you can damage it

I use my chrono function frequently and no problem leaving it stopped in any position so no worries there.

Leaving the chrono run constantly can add quite a bit more wear on the movement.
