This is a simple and easy-to-use stopwatch application. It can measure lap times and splits, making it suitable for sports applications. You can check the fastest lap, average lap, etc. without switching screens. Of course, it can also be used for various other purposes, such as measuring time for study or work. The unit of seconds can be switched between 1 and 1/100. Multiple stopwatches can be created. It is possible to measure with several stopwatches at the same time. An unlimited number of stopwatches can be created. There is a button to turn the screen horizontally, and when used, the elapsed time can be checked in large numbers. There is a readout function that allows you to hear the measured time audibly when you press the lap button or when you pause the watch. It also has a function that automatically reads out the time at each specified cycle. The cycle can be specified freely, such as 10 seconds or 1 minute. This makes it convenient to know the elapsed time without having to look at the screen. The panel that operates the readout function can also be displayed on the stopwatch screen. The system automatically saves the measured data, which can be viewed on two types of screens: a calendar and a chart. There is an individual detailed data screen and a chart screen where you can check monthly totals. These functions allow you to check activity records and recognize progress and changes. A lock function is provided to prevent accidental operation when the device is placed in a pocket. There is a function to count down before starting. Three types of sounds can be selected when the buttons are operated. The sound can also be turned off. You can turn on/off the vibration when you operate the buttons. The screen is set to not sleep while the application is in use, but this can be changed as well.
