How to Set Time on a Chronograph Watch

Chronograph watches measure time in very small increments, including fractions of a second. Chronograph stopwatches also measure elapsed time and typically offer standard analog time measurement as well. Chronograph watches are available from many watch companies and come in a wide variety of styles, including digital, metal, dress and sports styles. Setting the time on a chronograph watch is relatively easy to do.
