Thank you for this useful and beneficial video regarding tachymeter. There is only one thing; To complete 1 mile distance in 28 seconds, our speed will be 128 miles/hour not 128km/hr.

What he said. I've had Tachymeters on watches for years, thought they looked cool, never knew how to use it. Until now. Thanks, man.

Get a Breitling! If one desires to own a chronograph one should own a chronograph by a company devoted to chronograph movements years ahead of other watch companies. Breitling, instruments for professionals.

Tachymeters went the way of the divewatch: many people own them, professionals stopped using them decades ago, and not that many people actually still know what they really used to be for.

I agree, most of my friends don’t know how to use them either 🤔

@@robinrobson5363 Pilot here... and AOPA member. No matter how well we my like the style, none of us actually use any pilot watch functions for anything other than basic time telling in the cockpit. GMT is about the only useful thing for pilots, assuming you're traveling international a lot. I actually use a chono and diver's bezel a lot, but mostly in the gym timing sets, or the kitchen when I've got multiple things going on the stove.

Well the divewatch function can be somewhat useful on a daily basis if for some reason you dont have a timer available,such as exams.

Tachymeter can also be used as a pulsometer with some conversion. Once you feel a pulse, you start the chronograph function. Count for 30 pulses (the starting one count as zero). Then stop the chronograph. By dividing the tachymeter reading by 2, the result is pulses per minute.

@gilean6179 Жыл бұрын

you just need a second hand...count the pulse for 6 seconds and multiply by 10; that is it. did that for several years in med school...unless you are instructed to take the full minute on certain medical conditions.

Also works on distances longer than 1. Multiply the timed result by the track distance. Example: Daytona International Speedway's oval course is 2.5 miles. If a car completes one lap in 45 seconds, the result would be 80. 80 x 2.5 = 200mph average speed.

@romrig4648 Жыл бұрын

How is that any better than Distance divided by time? Tachymeter is designed to show the speed you go at with a single look, not to do math :/

@michaelcorvin4330 Жыл бұрын

@@romrig4648 I was simply pointing out courses over one mile, kilometer, or whatever metric you are using. Plus, the tachymeter shortens the equation from distance/time X 3600 in those longer than one situations.

@yoyoezzijr 8 ай бұрын

Yeah, because speed = distance/time. tachymeter scale = 1/time (in hours) So distance x scale = distance / time (per hour)
