The Breitling Watch Source Forums

I have always purchased a watch with a chronograph but in todays world where almost everyone has a smart phone on hand or access to a small timing device-- for those who own a watch with a chronograph -- how often do you actually use it? Now that i am in the market for a new watch I sometimes wonder if i really need the chronograph.

Most of my watches are chronographs.
This does not mean that I "need" a chronograph. More like "want" simply because I like the look of a chrono watch.
As such it is rare that I use the chrono for any other purpose than just to let it run for a day about once a month to ensure it stays well lubricated.

I think Breitling guys are often drawn to the brand because we like the look of Chronographs.

I also love the look of chronographs, and only use it to time cooking, parking meters, or when I'm flying somewhere on vacation, etc.

In the original post, I meant to ask how many actually just like the look... I guess Wessa and Novacastran made that clear. dlNYC -- -really does seem to use it... so at least one.

I use mine everyday, but it is never for anything of any importance. Drive time to work, lunch break, and dog walk time are some of the innocuous things i use my chrono for

I can guarantee that for pilots and Navitimers.

I use the chrono for timing various types of flight segments, client phone calls, etc.

Didn't we have a thread on this a while back?

I rarely use the chronos but I too love the look of them.

Daily. Sometimes 20+ times a day. My first Breitling didn't have a chronograph and I really missed it, so I wound up getting two Breitlings with chronographs.

Every two days when I frequent the gym. Between sets, I like to take 90 second breaks.

Healthy body, healthy mind.

Well i guess a lot of folks out there really do use them...

It's one of those threads that comes around every few months regular as COSC certified clockwork.

Use mine on occasions for unimportant things like steaks.

Maybe you ment this thread here: http://breitlingsource.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=42935

I found that one when I searched, but it's not the one I was thinking of. I swear that sharkman and I posted in a thread on this topic, but I'm not finding it.

I did a search but was focusing on the chronograph function and missed this one.. Oh well as implied re-calibration of a topic not always bad
