Does anyone use the functions on their Chronograph

Hi Guys,

Thinking of buying a Ferrari Granturismo Chronograph watch. Just curious as it comes with Hours, Minutes, Seconds, Split-Seconds Chronograph.

Does anyone actually use these features or are you buying it just for the look?

Thanks for the input.

Occasionally I use them when timing my workouts in the gym.

Repeatedly. The length of drive times, cooking, parking meters, the length to finish a cigar, and many other uses.

I love the chrono in the kitchen and other various activities.

I never truly need it though.

Parking meters and to make sure laundromat dryers weren't ripping me off.

Usually use it to time my lunch break. Not a big fan of the chronograph complication.

All the time for lots of things where time counts. It is far more useful to me than a date but I like that too!

I time my preacher's sermon on Sunday morning with an Omega Speedmaster Professional.

Plus, the chronos (I have several of various brands) just look cool! Cheers, Bill P.

I don't enjoy flying. I wouldn't say I'm scared of flying, but I'm just never comfortable. I envy those who can sleep on a plane. Lately I've been timing my flights on my Omega Seamaster Chronograph. I find some comfort with knowing exactly how long I am into each flight and approximately how much time is left. The last four times I've flown, I've been extremely diligent with timing the flights. That is really the only thing I've used it for.
