Do you use your Daytona Chronograph & Tachymeter?

Do you use your Daytona Chronograph & Tachymeter - and how often, in what situations - when attending races, other sport events?...

I use the chrono on my Daytona mostly to time cooking and grilling events. I rarely use the tachy.

I only use the chronograph of my Daytona 1 hour's time once a month to keep the mechanism well oiled.

I use it for room clearing during hostage rescues and HALO jumps. Oh wait....are we talking about real life here?

Yeah, mostly laundry and occasionally keeping the mechanism running properly.

Great Question!!! I like the way the Daytona "Looks" but it basically about as much of a tool as the Milgauss.

In other words, it just looks cool.

I never owned a Daytona but handled many TT and YG versions at my AD before.

IMHO, I always thought the chronograph function was a little inconvenient to use. Since to time something, you probably have to take your watch off, then unscrew the pushers, then press the pusher. If I was gonna time something, I'd want to just press the pushers right away you know?

I still think the Daytona is the best chronograph in the world though if not the most legendary!
