How to Use a Chronograph Watch Part 2: With 3 Chrono Hands

[Tupac786Jr]

thanks for help. best vid out there. very clear instructions. got a swatch full blooded and was really helpful

[lexxxa2oo8]

that is not a lap timer feature it's actually what's called a split timer. nice timepiece and nice video regardless.

[watchhub]

Great video. Didn't realise that if you use the set button the watch continues to count time even thought the hands are still... and when you press the set button again it catches up. A Super function.

Help i have a problem with my tag heuer fomula 1. The same one you have but in black. The tenth of a second needle seems to be pointing to 3.5 of a second. So when ever i reset the timer, the tenth of a second hand goes back to the 3.5 not the 10. I also googled it and a few people had said i need to send it in for service. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks

@1ben1245 You can change the "reset" position of quartz chronograph hands. Service is not usually necessary. The position of hands can be calibrated using the buttons while the crown is out. Sometimes the upper button adjusts one subdial and the lower button adjusts another. Or sometimes the upper button selects which subdial will move and the lower button moves the hand. Pull the crown out one click and experiment with pressing the 2 buttons. You may also have to try with crown out 2 clicks.

Thank you for posting this response to 1ben1245's problem. I had the same problem with my Timex T-Series chronogragh, and your answer helped me with correct the same issue. Cheers!

@sythspike so how do I know if my watch is broken? (just incase)

[Synthspike]

@ericleeSupSayK You need to take the watch to somebody who knows a bit more about how watches work and ask them to test it. Try the watch repair person in a department store. Or post a video and ask people to comment.

I have a chronograph watch from TW Steel, I can either make the Second hand move or the chronograph second hand move but not both together, why is that?

[Synthspike]

@ericleeSupSayK Sorry, I'm not certain. There are too many out there to be familiar with all of them. Perhaps the second hand is used for some other purpose while the chronograph is running? I have one watch where the second hand is used as a 1/10s hand when using the chrono function. After resetting the chrono it returns to acting as the seconds hand.

I have the same watch for about 2 weeks already and I'm loving every minute of it. This is my 2nd Formula 1. My first one was an Indy 500. Thanks for the demo. It really helps a lot.

guys how can i tell that a tag is fake ?

plz help

[Synthspike]

@maherban5 Most fakes fall short in some way, even on the outside. You could take it to a dealer and just put it beside the real thing, as long as you are comparing against the same model. But a very good fake can be so close that you can't tell without opening it to see if the movement is the right one for that model. So the safest way is to take it to a dealer that has a service person who will open the watch to check it for you.

@Synthspike thanks for ur help bro

[atomdragon4]

I love my chronograph watch :) but is there a count down feature?

[Synthspike]

@atomdragon4 Most analog watches only have the count-up style of timer like a stopwatch has. The only count-down timers I have seen are on digital watches.

[atomdragon4]

@Synthspike Thanks for the reply!

Hey thanks for the info, but could you also please make a video on how to read a tachymeter, other videos dont really explain it well, thanks!

[johnsonious2]

I was reading the instruction booklet, and it told me nothing!

You explained everything in 2:30! Amazing, very clear and understandable!

P.S. Thanks for your help

[toohunk4u]

the only thing not good on these models are the rubbers on the side... because they chip-off if not cared properly....
